Yeah, the NYP is lying. Some outpost FBIers in, IIRC, AZ, made some statement about Qanon being bad but it was nothing official in any way.
Weird that the NYP would run with this.
I was on ebay a few days ago looking for a hard copy of Field of Fight by General Flynn. I saw a copy for $1300 ny one seller. The few others were from 30 to 60. Very bizarre. Even if autographed, that sounds like money laundering at the least.
