Original Note:
The FBI has a well documented history of “pre-assessing”; it’d be incorrect to claim it as a recent phenomenon. “Between 1960 and 1974, the FBI kept files on one million Americans, and investigated 500,000 so-called “subversives” – all without a single court conviction.” https://www.aclu.org/sites/default/files/images/asset_upload_file893_29902.pdf https://www.aclu.org/files/FilesPDFs/mlkreport.pdf https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/94755_III.pdf https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1991-09-08-9103070622-story.html
