Are we sure that the FBI didn’t give him the documents so that they could frame him as they make a big flashy bust?
I wouldn’t put it past them since they’re credibility has been running pretty low recently.
It is hard to believe that the FBI considered Teixeira a real threat, and an actual spy once the local TV channel showed footage of Teixeira before his arrest from the vantage point of their helicopter.
Since when does the FBI invite the news media to a raid? Since the Waco Texas raid on the Branch Davidians, and their raid on Roger Stone's house.
Lots of media knew about the raid early enough to send their helicopters.
