His involvement with this Russian trying to replicate the 2nd Amendment for her country came at a time when the politicized FBI was trying to SOMEHOW fulfill their Muh Russians! narrative.
His loyalty was left over from when the FBI sometimes did their jobs, instead of covering for criminals, incinerating people and collecting bulging bags of gold coins, like Sheffif Knottingham.
The FBI showed Mr. Tech the same type of badges & lapel pins he once remembered from times past and he reacted the same way gun shops did in the southwest for the ATF under Obama:
“Oh! To TRACK guns after we sell them for you to narcos? Risky but, uh...if it’s all for Ole Glory, okay, den...!”
His pothead tone and distractibility is clear but there’s a factor most aren’t considering:
He has to get along in SILICON VALLEY, brimming with Deep State loving libs.
So he throws in a bit of palaver about “framing up Hillary” and other hocus-pocus he knows will play well to those viewers, but will still spark the interest of Real Americans also.
He’s walking a razor’s edge, so admittedly it does come off sounding discombobulated.
The REAL spies the FBI says are good guys so naturally they also say good people are spies:
It all coheres in this new, upside-down world we find ourselves in.
