investigate the FBI's actions against the Occupy Wall Street movement.

Created by J.F. on December 28, 2012

According to FBI documents recently received by the Partnership for Civil Justice under the Freedom of Information Act, not only has the FBI been investigating the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement since before the movement's first public action, but at one point the FBI became aware of a plan to assassinate OWS leaders by a group known to the FBI, but whose name was redacted in the released documents. In spite of the fact that these same FBI documents repeatedly referred to the OWS movement as a peaceful movement, the FBI apparently took no action to investigate or stop this group's planned assassination attempts.
