FBI Looks Flat-Out Stupid, Too

Amusing, but a warning.

The FBI and a Ukrainian intelligence agency worked in tandem to stop Russian disinformation on social media but instead ended up ensnaring authentic American accounts, including a verified Russian language State Department account, according to a new report released by the House Judiciary Committee.

The report accuses the FBI of relying too heavily on the Ukrainian government’s assessments of the social media accounts and failing to vet them on their own. The assessments were done by one of Ukraine’s top intelligence agencies, the SBU, which at the time was infiltrated by Russian actors. This led to several American accounts being flagged as Russian disinformation...

You'd think that the FEEBS would not combine utter stupidity with obvious violations of the First Amendment.

On the other hand, maybe they're so damned stupid that they can't read the First Amendment.

Either way, we have a problem.
