......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
Pretty sure I can just never talk to them, voluntary or not.
If you work for the government, stay the fuck away from me.

FBI hard at work investigating the conservatives.
Election fraud . . . crickets.
That would definitely be the way to have handled this situation.
ya I got a card but I dunno how to upload in comments. I could have done it with the post
Thanks for posting this. I made some posts the other day, and for the life of me, I couldn't remember the pic hosting link.
Yup can't wait for my visit as I was in DC for all three but on the 6th I only made it to the monument for Trump's rally and walking back to the hotel to get my car I couldn't get to my reserved parking spot I had near the capital I didn't even know they had really got into the capital walking back right after the rally I heard a man on a bike say something about the capital under siege but I didn't believe him as SS just got out in vans arresting a girl that jumped a little gate to take pictures of a small waterfall thing! it was now considered part of the Whitehouse property where before it was ok to walk before the 6th. So from my point of view, the police weren't playing around, But that was not the case at the capital that day!. so I left and came home! I'm sure they probably got my hotel room purchase! I had a right to be there! But ain't nobody calling them that's for sure! Sorry, you had to go through that op at work that was pretty ignorant! I'm sure they had your address!
I actually got a shout out from a Customer on Saturday (dude used my first and last name) on the stores Facebook page. I am sure that is how they got me. They were looking for me
That's crazy I would think they would just look up your cell phone gps and see that you weren't there and not worth their time!
Can't do that, that would be a logical step in the whole verification process...
No sense in verifying shit ahead of time.
for real!
They always have at least 2 officers, even if sometimes they are from different agencies. The quiet one is taking shorthand of everything you say. That way if you say you went to the ice cream stand when you were really at the laundromat, you've just lied to a federal agent, committing a federal crime. And they have two witnesses. Ask Martha Stewart how that works. Be careful.
Whoa!! That's messed up! Glad you're okay! Just curious......where do you live.....you don't need to tell me the state or anything like that ....but was it in the city or a small town where they approached you?
small town south central TX San Antonio proximity
By planning to go to the DC protest you have committed a thought crime
Rise? my frien it has always been that bad. never talk to the police. Never talk to glowie feds doubly so.
If you have to talk to them, meaning you initiate the interaction, that's one thing. If THEY initiate the interaction, shut the fuck up.
Me: “I will not answer any questions without a lawyer present”. The end!
I thought about that but then I would have probably ended up in S.A FBI field office.
This is great advice

20 years ago i did a paper for a history grant where i talked about the problems with militarization of LE. 20. FUCKING. Years. And i was spot-on. Its sad to see how right i was.
Mulder and Scully? Trust no one.
I'd narrow that list of possibiles down and they'd get some kind of wicked surprise soon. It would take days to dream up and arrange the complexity of the shitshow their life would become. Kids? Child protection services. Church? Rumors abound and flourish. Best friend? Yeah, they talk shit behind your back. Drink? Yeah, they were driving real erratic. Maybe all at once for good measure. Fuck these Nazis! Then I'd sit back and laugh like hell. Glass houses and all, ya know?
I went with my adult son and one of his friends. Waiting for the FBI to show up at my place. Love to chat with the fuckers. Maybe I will still get that chance. I have lots of video, including close up (zoom lens) of those trying to break through the windows, and door on the monument facing side of the capital. The worst thing I did (dems will hate it) was to sing 'God Bless America' along with the crowd, have it all on video. Awesome.
Contact tracing on steroids
