Minor point of order: Knock and talk is not a new tactic. That said, these panty sniffers should always be shown the way out of town.

The most appropriate response is no response at all. Open your door to strangers at your own peril.

Best thing it to tell the FBI I have nothing to say, contact my lawyer and get the heck off my property like now.

I guess a “knock and talk” is better than their standard Modus Operandi:

Flash Bang SWAT raid at 6:00am

Do not talk to the police. And especially do not talk to the FBI. Lying to the FBI is a federal crime. People have done serious jail time for that.

But suppose you are always honest, and would never, ever lie. No matter. Anything you can say can be twisted twenty different ways.

Be nice. Be polite. But do not talk to them.

Regent Law Professor James Duane gives viewers startling reasons why they should always exercise their 5th Amendment rights when questioned by government officials.

There are good reasons this has over 19 million views. If you haven’t watched this, you should.

Besides “You don’t have a warrant? Then I’m not interested in talking to you without an attorney present”, you should get names/cards, pictures / video of their presence, and report them to your local Sheriff’s Department or PD via 911. “I have two gentlemen presenting themselves as FBI agents, I just want a record of this.”

Mr. Baker says the best thing to do is direct them to your lawyer. But why do I have to pay a lawyer to tell the FBI to MYOB or come back with a warrant.

The doormat (see video) should’ve done the trick. I might invest in one of those.

[Citizens] Lying to the FBI is a federal crime.

But Feebs lying to Citizens is expected and rewarded.

Every Feeb, and for that matter every cop of any sort, must be presumed a liar until proven otherwise.

I agree with you. And I’m a lawyer.

This guy’s tweets were totally innocuous and the FBI’s response was nothing short of harassment. The FBI must have too much extra time on their hands if they are responding to stuff like this.

And make sure that you aren’t a mother holding her baby in the presence of the FBI. The FBI hates baby holding mothers almost as much as they hate dogs and the Constitution.

They were just salesmen, offering Mr Bonfilio the chance to win an all inclusive vacation at the Gray Bar Resort.

“...No matter. Anything you can say can be twisted twenty different ways.”


And since the FBI is the only police force I’ve ever heard of that does not make a recording of the interview, rather relying on agents’ notes of the conversation, the official record is what the agents thought they heard you say.

I remember G. Gordon Liddy saying (on his radio show) “if they come to my house, they better have their heads completely encased in Kevlar.”

He was talking about the Secret Service, but still.

I don’t have a Blaze subscription and it won’t let me in.

What does the doormat say?

Seems like sometimes an intimidation tactic by the anonymous “tipster”...a gentler form of swatting.
