‘Frightening’: Massie Slams One Million Mistaken FBI Data Searches on Americans

“This is frightening,” Rep. Thomas Massie said after it came out during congressional testimony that 30% of the FBI’s spying on U.S. citizens was “errors.” But we should always trust our federal government — they’re so honest and reliable, right?

Massie was speaking on Fox News’ “Ingraham Angle.” He was reacting to Thursday’s congressional testimony by Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General Michael Horowitz. Breitbart said Horowitz revealed that “about 30% of the over 3 million FBI searches on the data and communications of Americans were errors.” That’s a million times the FBI spied on Americans on mistaken premises. How is that acceptable?

Why would the FBI need to be spying on millions of Americans, anyway? Are they domestic terrorism threats? Our federal government is due for a major reckoning.
