from Aug/'19
MSNBC contributor Frank Figliuzzi, a former FBI counterintelligence official, floated a conspiracy theory - FRANK FIGLIUZZI: "... We have to understand the adversary and the threat we’re dealing with. And if we don't understand how they think, we’ll never understand how to counter them. So, it’s little things and language and messaging that matters. The President said that we will fly our flags at half-mast until the 8th. That's 8/8.
...... The numbers “88” are very significant in neo-Nazi and white supremacy movement. Why? Because the letter “H” is the eighth letter of the alphabet and, to them, the numbers “88” together stand for “Heil Hitler.” So, we’re going to be raising the flag back up at dusk on 8/8.
No one is thinking about this. No one is giving him the advice or he's rejecting the advice. So understand your adversary to counter the adversary."
As one Freeper offered back in this day, this sheds light on the FBI as much as it does Figluizzi, as we've come to know them
Frank held senior FBI leadership positions in major American cities and was appointed the FBI’s Chief Inspector by then Director Robert Mueller to oversee sensitive internal inquiries, shooting reviews, and performance audits.
In February 2011 then-director Robert Mueller appointed Figliuzzi assistant director of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division.
That explains quite a bit.
