the official record is what the agents thought they heard you say.

The official record is what the agents made up out of thin air ...

I read the article and it says the doormat says “Come back with a warrant.”

But it was amusing seeing the FBI guys notice it. ;-)

Used to be the sheriff was the #1 LEO in the county and could escort these folks across the county line.

Being a rural FL resident, I’d just call the Sheriff’s office.

“There are two suspicious men knocking on my door, claiming to be FBI agents. I can’t tell if they are legitimate or not.”

FL Sheriffs have no love for the feds.

Just say “I’m sorry, you guys are no longer the good guys and nobody trusts you “

“The use of the FD-302 has been criticized as a form of institutionalized perjury due to FBI guidelines that prohibit recordings of interviews.

Prominent defense lawyers and former FBI agents have stated that they believe that the method of interviewing by the FBI is designed to expose interviewees to potential perjury or false statement criminal charges when the interviewee is deposed in a grand jury and has to contradict the official record presented by the FBI.

They have also stated that perjury by FBI agents allows the FBI to use the leverage of a potential criminal charge to turn an innocent witness into an informant.[5][6][7]”

“Not a joke...”

“The use of the FD-302 has been criticized as a form of institutionalized perjury due to FBI guidelines that prohibit recordings of interviews.”

That's how they framed General Flynn. The two agents who interviewed him said they didn't think he had done anything wrong on the FD-302 they filed.

Higher-ups changed it.

That's why they hate video recording of FBI agents so much. It prevents them from falsifying evidence.

Note that there will generally be two FBI agents. Why two, because it’s their word (two) against your word (one) and you will lose. If they still want to talk to you and your lawyer, then make sure that you have your tape recorder handy to tape the interview or don’t say anything.

I am honestly surprised I have not received a visit yet. Any number of the posts I’ve made on my various fora over the last few decades are close in tone to Patrick Henry and as bellicose and obstreperous as can be...

When it comes to statements on our entirely illegal and increasingly illegitimate government? I also mean it. Every word.

Wrong initials. It should be “KGB.”

I watched that video and I really have no use or faith in the swollen ranks of our federal and most State governments . With all of our resources being squandered and mis-used with needless “make work” jobs in Fed. or State anyone worth their salt has genuine contempt for individuals being paid to practice Stalinist/Communist style queries.

It's quite clear what they wanted, especially with the sketchy attempt to call him directly after talking with his attorney.

They want him to talk so they can find some inconsistency and charge him with lying to the FBI or something worse.

The purpose is to intimidate and if possible arrest the regime's political opponents on false pretenses.

Still is if they keep the authority. It is part of the state constitutions. If they accept federal bribery money, they have given up their control.

Yeah. Remember the Law Enforcement targets of pregnant women and children? Most sites and images have been scrubbed of course, but I did find one...
