The FBI is using scare tactics again. That’s a bold move considering how much trouble they’re in. First, the Durham report dropped, showing how the bureau helped Hillary Clinton rig the 2016 election instead of investigating her crimes. They had been tipped to some, a big one came in from the CIA, but the bureau ignored them all. Then, the Federal Bureau of Instigation admitted using FISA searches illegally. Not just once or twice but more than 270,000 times in the past couple of years. We won’t even talk about the failure to investigate Hunter Biden. Now, they’re being accused, once again, of intimidating people to silence them.
FBI dropped by
Two FBI agents happened to be in the neighborhood so they casually dropped by to pay “a surprise visit to pro-life activist Elise Ketch’s childhood home in mid-April.” They just wanted to let her know “she wasn’t in any trouble.” Yet, they implied.
She hasn’t been sleeping real well since then. “Though nothing came of the incident,” Fox News writes, “Ketch believes it was an attempt to intimidate and silence her.”
Ms. Ketch has one of those trendy doorbell cameras. It “captured the interaction between the agents and Ketch’s mother who still resides at her childhood home.” The FBI simply wanted to have a chat with her regarding “some information that was sent in.”
Fact is, this pretty much confirms what those FBI whistleblowers testified about. The left will never see or admit to the truth. Pro-life activist sounds alarm on FBI 'intimidation' after agents visit home: 'They're going after everybody'

They couldn’t do it on the phone, though. They had to go scare the activist’s mother and make her wonder what her daughter’s been up to.
The timing on the release of the footage couldn’t have been planned any better. It popped up “the day after three whistleblowers testified before House members that the FBI retaliated against them for making ‘protected disclosures‘ about what they believed was wrongful conduct.”
The bureau isn’t winning any popularity contests and are about to be defunded by Congress.
An intimidation tactic
When Ketch got a chance to tell her story on Fox Friday, she explained how she “told the FBI agents to get in touch with her attorney, but she was never contacted again.” Special Agents don’t like dealing with lawyers unless they work for the DOJ.
“So I can only take this as an intimidation tactic at this point.” She’s probably right. Nobody on the conservative side of the political spectrum is safe.
It may be meant to scare her away from her work but it’s not going to stop her. It only makes Ketch more determined. Her response to the FBI was to tell them she’s ramping up her efforts. “Probably the opposite of the reaction they want. I didn’t freeze. I then got more aggressive.” She’s not the only one behind the Baby Lives Matter movement.

The experienced advocate is affiliated with “the Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising, a grassroots organization that opposes elective abortions while upholding feminist values like equality and non-violence.” That makes her especially unpopular with her liberal friends.
Popular or not, Ketch has rights and knows how to use them. “I’m going to keep doing the same things I was doing.” Her friends won’t stop her either. “Even as a progressive, I actually agree with the right on this that the FBI is corrupted and there’s always going to be bias against the people who are trying to get human rights, who are trying to do the right thing.”
The bureau isn’t winning popularity contests. “They’re going after everybody,” she adds. “So I think it’s really important we step up and say, ‘The FBI is being weaponized against all of us.‘“
