So a fren of mine who attended the Jan 6th got a call from our local FBI branch yesterday and posted his voicemail he left him.
Friendly FBI agent said he was following up on a anonymous tip he was there and wanted to meet and discuss. If Trump's presidency taught me anything, anonymous sources are another word for straight up BS
Personally, I think they traced his phone. Don't you need a court order (FBI) to utilize that data?
What are his legal options? I told him that he should lawyer up even though he claims he got there way late and just followed the crowd in because it appeared open to the public by that point and only stayed in the first room for a little bit before leaving.
I would think that they will need to show proof where a actual tip was submitted or a court order if they did trace his phone.
Knowing him, he can probably handle himself well if he just goes and talks to the agent. But he is not a Q follower and I don't think he has reached that broken trust level yet with the FBI like we have.
What do you do when cops ask questions? Shut The Fuck Up
And if they keep asking questions? I’m not discussing my day.
Its about pot, but applies to everything else. Including traffic stops.
Never trust the FBI tell him to lawyer up, and only speak with them with a lawyer.
Don’t ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever just “talk to the police to clear things up”. Your buddies gonna end up with 25 to life
Do not call them back, lawyer up, that's the only way.
Just don't speak to them. If they get aggressive, lawyer up.
Update
So they came.to his house and they spoke to him and he talked....
I really thought he was smarter than this. But he said that he told them he did not step foot in the capitol.
They of course pulled out a previous post of his that contradicted it
He said he told him he changed it and began searching for the post
He was searching for a bit and they said they had all they need. He asked them to wait longer.
But still... He had 24 hours to lawyer up or go with the truth and instead he lied..... What a idiot
He just screwed himself so fucking bad and will probably end up doing a few years in prison. It is a felony to lie to a federal agent. This is the same charge they send Martha Stewart to prison for. He is now at the mercy of the prosecutors and more than likely they're going to come back with a charge of lying to the FBI on top of whatever else they want to throw on it and he's going to have to cop a plea deal just to avoid them nailing him to the wall
