Feds probing if retired agent had advance notice about suspected Buffalo shooter’s plans: report
NYPost ^ | 05 27 2022 | Yaron Steinbuch

Authorities are reportedly investigating whether a retired federal agent knew about a white supremacist’s plans to carry out his deadly attack at a Buffalo supermarket 30 minutes before the crazed gunman went on the rampage.

Two law enforcement officials with knowledge of the probe told the Buffalo News that the feds believe the former agent — believed to be from Texas — was among at least six people who regularly communicated with alleged gunman Payton Gendron online about his racist views.

The sources said Gendron had also invited some online acquaintances to read about his hate-fueled, imminent plan to attack the Tops Friendly Markets store, where he allegedly killed 10 people and left three others injured on May 14.

Eleven of those shot were black and two were white. One dead victim was a retired Buffalo cop.

Are they going to refer to the latest shooter as an ‘Illegal Transgender Supremacist’ or do they just save those slurs for white people?

so what if they had 30 minutes advanced notice? It took them an hour in Texas before they entered the building while the tranny was killing kids...with 30 minutes advance notice, they still would have been 30 minutes late.

BTW: every single one of those cops should be fired and lose their pension benefits - every penny of it.

What did he communicate to him? If he had expressed any view that was contrary to Gendron's wouldn't it be likely that Gendron would have blocked him? Most people with fanatical views won't tolerate any criticism of it at all.

Was the agent egging this guy on to commit a crime so the FBI could bag him before the killing and boost their white nationalist terrorist stats... and they screwed up on bagging him?

So what if he did? I mean, what is the point of the investigation? There’s no crime in sharing the chatroom with a homicidal maniac.

I don’t know. I asked the question with interest in what the former agent was doing.

However, if the FBI was working with the former agent to that end it seems doubtful they would reveal this about him publicly.

True, true.

Other Fibbies are still not admitting they had anything to do with smearing and trying to frame Trump even though there is now sworn testimony that they did.

They’ll only come clean dragging and kicking, if then. :)

4chan seems to think both shooters were groomed in a Discord server by this guy. They are doing some interesting research. Several threads up.

Maybe he is one of the FBI agents who knew about a bunch of Saudi ragheads learning to fly commercial planes in 2000 & 2001...

Knew about it and egged him on most likely. Another FF and look for more in coming weeks and months.

The real issue is that allegedly the retired FBI agent had been communicating with the Buffalo NY shooter for some time, and was a member of his inner circle of on-line contacts.

That's not good, and we could be looking at another situation where FBI agents encouraged some kind of attack, like we just saw happening in Michigan.
