The FBI wants to talk to me

I got a call from an FBI agent in my local office today. They also left a business card at my residence while I was a work. They want me to come down for an interview. They will not tell me any specifics except that it is within a criminal investigation.

It may be connected to some very verbose emails I exchanged with certain DU members. I really don't know. Here is what's happening now:

I just received a letter from the US Attorney in Reno, NV. I am apparently being investigated for "Interstate communication of threats". The FBI forwarded a report to them. I never did consent to an interview with the FBI back in March.

The US Attorney's letter said that if I or my attorney have anything to say that might affect their decision on whether or not to go to a Grand Jury to contact them by June 30th.

Any thoughts?

Well, this changes things a but I would guess...

I am not an attorney, but from what I understand, it is quite easy to get a Grand Jury to give an indictment. All they are doing is reviewing evidence/statements to see if there is enough to move forward in terms of prosecution.

I don't know the severity of your situation, but my guess is that now would be the time to get an attorney.

Right, I know that once they go to a Grand Jury the chances are they will get an indictment.

Why they are contacting me about it before hand I don't know.

I will be in contact with an attoney and with the Federal Public Defenders office tomorrow.

Thanks.

If they are forming a GJ, a question I would have is "Would a middle class, relatively sheltered mom likely or not likely think that what I am accused of is worthy of prosecution."

Refresh me, was this related to some email communication here on FR (freepmail)?

My thoughts don't matter. Your atty should be advising you and that's what the atty is paid for.If you don't have an atty working on this yet, spend the money and get one now while there is still a chance to quash it before it goes to a GJ

I really don't know.

I doubt it is related to FR.

FPD (Federal Public Defender) says US Attorney is NOT going to pursue any charges against me.

Says I am most likely on a government watch list and to "cease and desist" any "questionable" activity on-line, or off for that matter.

Says pendulum has swung very far to one side sine 9/11 and that it will be some time before it swings back.

Thank you God.

What's considered questionable? Have you asked anyone what they might consider questionable? Something that might seem rather innocuous to us might seem questionable to someone in law enforcement.

I beleive it is always a good idea to keep even the most heated disagreement on-line down to an exchange of views and opinions rather than comments, to those you exchange view with, that are directed toward them.

It is often amazing how fast an exchange of view points can escalate into something that can be read in a number of different ways.

The saga depicted by this thread might indicate that your e-mails may have stepped across that line and were taken (or clained of) as some form of threat. It is pretty easy to get goaded into making comments on-line you would never make in any sort of public manner, and yet, on-line exchanges are public in their own way and surely permenant.

It may have been certain web wanderings.. Going to the weird, extreme ends of the political web world probably attracts attention.

No doubt many sites are monitored.

I don’t want to scare you, but the Polish death camps are looking for inmates as we speak.
