Has anyone considered that maybe the FBI is behind these calls or that they are OK with this happening to conservatives?
I considered the possibility.
Not only possible, but probable.
I’ll say it. The 2020 election WAS stolen.
The FBI is the orchestrator of the swatting calls against MTG.
I came to the conclusion a long time ago that the FBI was behind most if not all these attacks on Americans
FBI= the forth Branch of Government.
Lots of people have considered both possibilities.
[speculation]
I believe the first one is extremely unlikely - as in "no, they are not doing that". Why would they bother. There are plenty of leftist volunteers who will jump into action without the slightest direct encouragement from the FBI.
They might have some informants in the groups who are doing the swatting. Which brings up "door number 2".
The second possibility approaches 100% certainty in my mind that the FBI executives are OK with random leftists terrorizing conservatives. At best, they don't want to make the effort to track down the perpetrators, and they are told not to do so. Most of the effective methods are actually illegal, even with FISA warrants and the pretense of "parallel construction."
Why risk a letter of reprimand in the personnel file for "unauthorized activities out of scope with assigned duties".
They are not going to go after perpetrators unless they get the cover of directions from higher levels to do that. Or unless the perpetrators start boasting on social media, somebody gets killed, and the victims are high-ranking members of the protected classes.
At worst, they are looking the other way when known leftist groups start bragging about their swatting exploits. A supervisor with a couple of trainees examining bank transactions of certain "Non-Government-Organizations" and "Non-Profit-Organizations" would make some interesting connections very quickly. They are not doing that. They are not allowed to do that, by management instruction.
Leftist terrorist activities are funded by a network of such "Non-Profit-Organizations". Almost all of them receive federal grant money of some kind. Follow that money. You'll find the swatters, buying equipment with it. They are living in their parent's basement bedrooms and chatting with their friends about their projects. They are volunteers with little or no money of their own. It is all about ego rewards and bragging rights about their projects. That last aspect is how they are most likely to get caught.
The guy who gets the equipment for them works as a "community organizer" for one of the NGO's. That job does not pay very well, but the work is exciting, and the projects vary quite a bit. Plus, there is some paid travel with a chance (illusion) of advancement in the organization. And the NGO's often will hire felons or other persons who might be otherwise unemployable. There are lots of those "community organizers" out there. Some of them might even have side-gigs as paid Agency informants.
