Cory’s 20th Blogiversary Cake With FBI Icing

Notable author and blogger Cory Doctorow got a call from the FBI for his blog anniversary.

Yes, it's harassment, and the FBI enabled it by not doing some investigating to learn it was a baseless complaint, before (deciding not to bother) contacting you.

Please read how he handled the encounter. It’s in stark contrast to the wrong way exhibited by the #Qultists who are also being questioned by the FBI.

But it's over. The agent, to his credit, was pleasant and reasonable. But I'm mystified by the complaint – my guess is some troll has figured out that you can sic the FBI on people you disagree with on the internet – and even more by the fact that the FBI acted on it.

Unlike Cory who didn’t do crimes, the Trump fanatics have hilarious indictments online of their Capitol Riot misadventures.

The FBI says Kevin Lyons was "evasive" at first about being inside the Capitol. Then, when agents showed him an Instagram pic he'd taken & posted of Nancy Pelosi's office, he caved.
"Wow, you're pretty good," he said. "That was only up for an hour." pic.twitter.com/JqxINK6eRL
