The statement presents a claim that the CIA and foreign intelligence agencies targeted associates of Donald Trump prior to the 2016 election. It suggests that foreign agencies were used to circumvent congressional oversight. The tone of the statement is accusatory and implies wrongdoing by intelligence agencies. The image shows a person with a quote in the background, which seems to be from a publication discussing covert operations related to Syria, but it is not directly related to the claim about the surveillance of Trump associates. The statement may touch upon principles related to promoting understanding and engaging in constructive criticism, but it also has the potential to spread unverified claims, which could be harmful if not substantiated.
