The Federal Bureau of Investigation said Tuesday it was aware of two instances of its name and insignia being used to spread misinformation surrounding the 2024 presidential election.
The videos were among a number of fabricated clips mimicking news organizations and officials circulated online on Monday, spreading false information about security threats and election integrity as tens of millions of Americans head to the polls. The videos were likely created by a Russian disinformation group, researchers say.
Two videos, created to look like they were released by the FBI, made false claims about voter fraud, alleging that the management of five prisons in Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona, had rigged inmate voting and colluded with a political party. The videos are not authentic, and their contents are false, the FBI said.

The last time they said Russians were interfering with our election (Hunter’s laptop) proved to be a lie.
What does that tell me about this?

Like the boy who cried wolf, nobody believes a word coming from the DOJ, especially on Russia, after 50+ former so-called intelligence officials came out and knowingly lied to the world about the Biden 3 laptops.

The FIB has turned into a Fake, but Illigitament, Law Enforcement Agency.

Remember, the FBI is authorized to lie as much as they want.
So, no, you don’t know when you can trust them, frankly, ever.

Why is it now “misinformation and disinformation “?
I would just call it lies.......... If it really is.
To: McGruff
That’s probably a fake report.

The FBI brought it upon itself. They have been constantly interfering with elections with fake indictments, raids, etc. that no one believes them at all. It’s hard to tell a fake from a real fake.
