The Citizens' Commission to Investigate the FBI was an activist group operational in the US during the early 1970s. Their only known action was breaking into a two-man Media, Pennsylvania, office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and stealing over 1,000 classified documents. They then mailed these documents anonymously to several US newspapers to expose numerous illegal FBI operations which were infringing on the First Amendment rights of American civilians. Most news outlets initially refused to publish the information, saying it related to ongoing operations and that disclosure might have threatened the lives of agents or informants. However, The Washington Post, after affirming the veracity of the files which the Commission sent them, ran a front-page story on March 24, 1971,

  • Die Citizens’ Commission to Investigate the FBI (englisch für etwa Bürgerkommission zur Untersuchung des FBI) war eine Gruppe von Aktivisten, die der politischen Linken angehören. Ihre einzige der Öffentlichkeit bekannte Aktion ist der Einbruch am 8. März 1971 in das Büro des Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in Media, Pennsylvania, bei dem die Akteure über 1000 geheime Dokumente stahlen. Die Taten sind seit 1976 verjährt. (de)
