......I was doing my thing at work today when I was approached by 2 people (man an woman) late 20's early 30's. They asked for me by name. Then out come 2 (count em) 2 FBI badges. "We want to ask you some questions" ME "about what?" Them "About Jan 6th". Me "I wasnt there" Them "We got an anonymous internet tip that you were" Me. Nope I was here working (which I was). By this point I am pretty riled up. Them "There is more....this photo was called out as possibly being you" Me...."Really? Do you think I look like that dude.??" Them "no" Them "do you have any proof you were here?" Me "Do you have any proof I was in DC?" It all got taken care of pretty quickly. They were very polite. I told them that If I would have been there, I would have been within my rights to be there, the election was fraudulent blah blah.
I had planned to go. Had it all set up, at the last second stuff changed, and I couldnt go. There were any number of people that knew I was going to go, most knew I didnt go. There are only a couple of possibilities who could have made an anon internet tip.
Exciting times
