Mickey Dolenz from Legendary Band ‘The Monkees’ Takes on the FBI in New Lawsuit

According to the Rolling Stone, Mickey Dolenz from ”The Monkees” is now taking on the FBI.

Dolenz is the only surviving member of the group and the 77-year-old had now filed a lawsuit against the agency.

A tiny portion of the band’s FBI file was released to the public a little over a decade ago and it accused the band of spreading messages that constituted “left wing intervention of a political nature.”

Attorney Mark Zaid filed the suit on Dolenz’ behalf and he confirmed the announcement in a tweet.

“I have been a #Monkees’ fan since early 1970s so it is an absolutely pleasure to be representing @TheMickyDolenz1 in a #FOIA lawsuit against @FBI.”

“Why was the #FBI monitoring the band back in late 1960s? We will find out!”

“Thank you to @RollingStone!”

While it appears that in the past the FBI may have been weaponized against the left, many might now believe it to be the opposite.

Like the Mar-a-Lago raid affidavit, the public, seven-page Monkees document is heavily redacted, and it refers to a second document that was “redacted entirely.”
