FBI posted conspiracy theories to notorious internet message board...and got caught
Andrew West June 21, 2019


Much of what the Federal Bureau of Investigation actually does is shrouded in secret, certainly, but now and again we get a small glimpse into the darker corners of their behavior.

Much like the CIA, the FBI is given a wide berth by both the American people and other governmental authorities.  The lack of scruples we see in other nations' governments must be guarded against, of course; the United States just prefers to keep their defensive mechanisms a little more clandestine than most.

The unsealing of an application for a search warrant by the federal government on 8chan’s servers has unintentionally revealed that a federal agent has been trolling the site and attempting to redirect the users’ conspiracy theories against the Russian government instead of the CIA or Mossad.
