Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) sounded off against the “fascism” of alphabet agencies targeting Alex Jones as revealed Tuesday in an undercover exposé.

Sound Investigations caught CIA operative Gavin O’Blennis admitting in undercover video that the CIA and FBI targeted Alex Jones with the aim of bankrupting him.

“‘We can put anyone in jail if you know what to do,’” Lee quoted O’Blennis saying. “This isn’t national security. This isn’t law enforcement. This is fascism.”

“We can put anyone in jail if you know what to do.”

This isn’t national security.

This isn’t law enforcement.

This is fascism.

Yet another reason why we’d be crazy to reauthorize FISA 702 without a warrant requirement. https://t.co/OQKUiWs8eO

“Yet another reason why we’d be crazy to reauthorize FISA 702 without a warrant requirement,” he added, referring to Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that Congress is currently debating whether to reauthorize.

FISA Section 702 allows intelligence officials to monitor the communications of foreigners and U.S. citizens overseas without a warrant, a provision that former President Donald Trump called for the House to “kill” because that was the very provision the FBI used to spy on Trump and his campaign in 2016.

“IT WAS ILLEGALLY USED AGAINST ME, AND MANY OTHERS. THEY SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN!!!” Trump wrote on Truth Social Wednesday.

Lee wasn’t the only GOP lawmaker to react to the exposé; Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) likewise blasted the Deep State on X for targeting Jones.

“Alex Jones and many others have been the target of the deep state for many years. Congress can not pass FISA authorization without STRONG warrant requirements. We have to end this,” she posted.

O’Blennis, a Contracting Officer for the CIA told the Sound Investigations journalist that the FBI “can put anyone in jail…set ’em up!”

“We call it a nudge,” O’Blennis said, adding the FBI can put “problematic” right-wing journalists like Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones in jail.

He also said of Infowars founder Alex Jones that the FBI “took his money away” and “chopped his legs off.”

Jones announced Tuesday that he’s planning to sue the FBI and CIA over potential civil rights violations in the wake of the bombshell video.

“He needs to be subpoenaed by Congress,” Jones said referring to O’Blennis. “I am planning to launch a lawsuit against the CIA and the FBI. We have to bring all this out and right as my bankruptcy comes to a close and right as all this stuff is being finalized it’s really God’s work working here that this came out at this time.”
