It's strains credulity (reeks of bullshit, even) that FBI agents are walking around in these shoes (let's ignore the other attire for a moment) during working hours. 🤷‍♂️ Show me some stinkin' badges.

I may have to side with that assessment, gobrian...

Nope. I actually spoke with three FBI field agents when my ex-wife received some alarming texts on her phone with images of Hezbollah and ISIS and text in Arabic. This was like 20 years ago, but when the field agents showed up at my office, they were all dressed in shorts. Two had graphic tees on and the third had a Hawaiian print shirt on. All three were wearing some type of sandal (one even had cheap flip flops on!). I didn't believe they were agents until they showed me ID (which I demanded to see). They even rolled up in a hooptie convertible. I think it was a Buick or a Mercury. I was astonished and I asked them how come they didn't look like real "G" men. They said they "blended in better" withtout the suit and ties and the "K" car (he actually referred to a K car! :lol: ). And yes, they were legit agents.

So, the lesson here is, don't believe everything you see on TV.

I'm saying those aren't legit agents because I don't think they'd come out for 'criticism' if they're legit agents (if she's telling the truth about what she did to bring them out, and, yes, their attire is suspect). I don't believe everything I see on Twitter, either. Did you read the next tweet where she said 'By the way Pfizer sent them. The United States FBI Agency WORKS FOR PFIZER.' Yeah, OK... she has an agenda-driven account, which makes me suspect her motives and her posts. I could be wrong, but I don't think so. The FBI doesn't just show up if you criticize Pfizer. She would have to have made terroristic threats to get the FBI involved.

She filmed the encounter (which is legal)- show them flashing badges instead of their ghetto shoes. If they're real, I want to know exactly what she posted, because it's gone from her feed.

I'm sure her tweets were reasonable, down to earth and in no way threatening to anyone or anything.

Yup- the FBI doesn't get involved for just saying, 'Don't get the shot!'

If they're real FBI agents, she's lying about what she tweeted. 🤷‍♂️
Oh, I agree with what you're saying about her, her account, and what she may have actually tweeted. If you listen to the interaction, they're asking her if she threatened anyone and what she meant by "execute Pfizer" (paraphrasing). Yeah, she's nutty, and may very well have stated some pretty violent sounding shit. I just don't believe everything I read on Twitter, it's the entire internet (including LABs). I was merely commenting on what I know to be true from first-hand experience, and that is that field FBI agents don't necessarily look like how you would expect them to look, as portrayed in the movies and on TV.

They want, and need, to look official and intimidating. They don't in board shorts and flip flops.
Nope. They want to blend in. I'm sure they do the "official" look when it serves their purpose but on the daily, at least when I spoke to them, they were more than casually dressed.

Sorry RP, but if they came dressed that way to interview your wife that was disrespectful to your wife. Trying to apprehend someone incognito is entirely different.
They weren't interviewing my wife. They were there to look at the texts. And what I'm telling y'all is 100% true. Tee's and Hawaiian shirts and all.

The guy has his hands in his pockets and the woman has her jacket zipped- if they're armed, it seems like they might be better prepared when interviewing someone who (seems to have) made threats serious enough to the point they'd be investigated. 🤷‍♂️

They might be social workers or local PD (she's got a thick lanyard on, but no visible ID- it seems like something you wouldn't want to wear when dealing with a potentially dangerous person as you could get strangled with it)- FBI agents take a lot of notes in case they're needed in court later, and that's not easy with a soft manila folder (she does have a pen in her hand, but that's not gonna work with that set-up while standing- she'd more likely have a clipboard or something like that)- I just don't think they're FBI.

Sorry but your doubts are wrong. FBI agents come at you in any kind of clothing. Efrem Zimbalist Jr. is not in charge anymore. And yes the present day FBI is corrupt.

I'm not the only one who noticed the irregularities (even calling out the lack of a sturdy folder and a collared shirt, both of which are sported by the guys in all three videos above- in fact, they're all dressed in almost the same shirt, kinda like there's a code including a department-issued folder)- does a subject exist for which there isn't a Reddit thread? Doubt it. Like I said, I could be wrong, but I've gotta see the part of the vid where they show ID (which the poster said exists), because that pic and provided vid don't prove what the tweet states- there are too many red flags, imho (though I can't say it's impossible). 🤷‍♂️

Expect either Marjorie Greene or boebert to bring this up at one of the ‘committees’ soon.
Bobblehead has been having a tough time with those lately, but MTG is actually doing a good job raising her profile- she's a dark horse VP pick if Trump gets the Rep nod, imho (he's likely going to pick a woman, and I don't think it'll be Haley- the debates could change my mind, though).

Like Tim Robbins said ...."how can you be so obtuse?!"

Notice the lack of collar and sturdy folder. Or is just cause he's black and you're as racist as the cops are?

Not only can I post more videos of FBI agents not looking like you think they should, but go back and read rumble phish's post #8. Which one of you is saying either:
A. He's stupid.
B. He's a liar.
C. He's blind.

D. Black guy you posted is not an FBI agent, RobBase is a fucking moron.

OK, thanks for proving my point. No need to insult you anymore, you are very capable of doing it yourself.

Believe what you will... As one who has had actual interactions with field agents on more than one occasion I know better.
I never said I didn't believe what you recounted- what I said was I don't think the people in the vid in the OP are FBI, and I said why. What I also said was that if I were creating a fake video purporting to show FBI agents, I'd make them look like Scully and Mulder, NOT that that's the only way an agent would dress. I also conceded (more than once) that I could be wrong in my assessment. I'm sorry it looked (to someone, at any rate) like I was calling you out (I don't think you're stupid, a liar, or blind, and I'm sure your story was true).

That said, your anecdotal experience doesn't change my opinion.

I believe that if they are Federal agents, their visit was warranted.
Agreed. I think this lady is a "Karen" who thinks "free speech" means she can throw thinly veiled threats of physical violence up her social media account without repercussions.

I've had a few interactions with agents at my home due to extensive background checks that my oldest son was subject to. They were always dressed like classic G-Men. They were very serious. They didn't ask any questions they didn't already know the answer to.
Yup, when they come to interview someone regarding a background check they give you the whole "Men In Black" routine. I've sat through interviews for three of my relatives. One I even had to go to them for (this was for a position with the DIA).

Wow, you went through all just to prove me wrong. You have an obsession that is unhealthy. And you're still a idiot to boot!
Everyone, prithee lay thine eyes 'pon this bitchmade response.

If you think googling the video title is "obssessive", no wonder you believe everything you read on the internet, you lazy gullible fuck. :lol:
