1. Your stalker has recently suggested that certain FBI informants are actively involved in "tape cleaning" now that it seems they will be communicating directly with investigators. What does this suggest to you? Have you seen this pattern in the past?
Answer: Quite frequently. Far right FBI handlers appear to be extremely aggressive in employing defamatory material to discredit law-abiding "targets of interest." Yet later, neither informants nor handlers want to acknowledge the components of that process. There appears to be an attempt to erase photos or film, directed quite clearly by far right FBI personnel in a bid to avoid accountability.
2. Far right factions of the FBI appear to be engaging in aggressive slander and defamation for anti-democratic objectives, but they don't want to be caught.
Answer: That seems to be the case.
3. Do you have the impression that informants are involved in the active destruction of evidence?
Answer: I do. Having said that, film files are quite large. It would seem that computer forensics could locate objective evidence of downloads, assuming that informants were reluctant to disclose the truth of their handlers' malfeasance.
4. What appears to be the purpose of the slander and defamation being perpetrated by far right factions of the FBI?
Answer: I believe certain FBI personnel may find it much easier to convince informants to mistreat law-abiding "targets of interest" if they first convince informants that "targets" are terrible people or predatory by nature or dangerous to their communities.
5. In other words, before far right personnel ask an informant to harm someone, they will first attempt to characterize "targets" as criminals, lacking any conscience, a danger to society.
Answer: Yes. The far right seems to make the argument that a law-abiding "target of interest" deserves to be hurt. Then, far right law enforcement personnel make a demand that an informant engage in direct harm.
6. And that harm could involve ethical violations of professional codes of conduct, or it could involve causing damage to property, or even inflicting physical harm toward a "target of interest."
Answer: Yes, I think the particular demands vary depending on the circumstance.
7. What are the implications when professionals take pay from Infragard in order to undermine the interests of their clients?
Answer: Well, I think when ethics regulations are being violated in the name of "national security," we need to pause. Many of us naturally extend abundant trust to local and federal law enforcement personnel. Yet, what if the public trust were abused? What if "targets of interest" were being wrongfully maligned with false "evidence" for reasons that had nothing to do with the safety of the public? How would we be able to to ascertain the truth?
8. Given the current technologies available to law enforcement personnel, it's possible that only an investigative process could illuminate the truth.
Answer: Absolutely, and this brings us to the current moment, in which rigorous engagement by OIG Hotline investigators is playing a central role in the defense of the Constitution.
9. What percentage of informants are shown fake, defamatory films concerning "targets of interest"?
Answer: My impression from others is that this material is highly convincing. As a result, I believe that far right FBI personnel are heavily utilizing these AI-generated tools which co-opt the likeness of "targets."
10. Yet, when law-abiding "targets of interest" file Freedom of Information Act requests from the FBI, they are supplied with blank reports.
Answer: Yes, alarmingly, the FBI appears to have effectively dismantled FOIA for "targets of interest." So, the checks and balances on far right segments of the agency have been removed over time.
11. What is the lesson that we as Americans need to learn about the far right's gambit?
Answer: We need to learn to be on high alert whenever law enforcement personnel direct informants to harm someone they identify as a "target." Such directives echo Fascist, totalitarian regimes, which broadly discredited groups of people who were forcibly divested of their property, their savings, their families, and their lives.
12. Yet, few people imagine themselves as sympathetic to Fascist causes.
Answer: I read a book by Shoshana Zuboff recently, in which the author references a kind of Fascism-light involved in our ability to aggregate extensive information, portions of it entirely false, about one another.
13. What is it about her book that describes Fascism-light?
Answer: Ms. Zuboff gives a brilliant account of the problem of "surveillance capitalism" as a usurpation of the people's sovereignty, and I don't want to discount the importance of her contribution. But she imagines a totalitarian regime which eschews violence, and that assumption is fundamentally flawed, in my opinion.
14. Why?
Answer: Because Fascism is always accompanied by violence, whether hidden or overt. History is exceptionally clear on this point.
15. So, in your view, the slander and defamation in which far right factions of the FBI are engaged is an accompaniment to violence.
Answer: A justification. An accompaniment. A license to harm.
16. When informants are asked by investigators whether they have been shown defamatory photos or films about "targets of interest," how should they answer?
Answer: With the truth. Only the truth. Always the truth.
17. The human rights of many others may depend on informants' commitment to tell the truth under difficult circumstances.
Answer: Yes, they may.

The FBI is a deeply divided agency. There are many FBI employees who view their vows to the Constitution with the utmost seriousness and honor, and who strive to defend the fundamentals of our democracy with courage, fortitude and commitment. The fact that some segments of the FBI appear to have embraced a lawless course is not a justification to assail the FBI in general. The safety of FBI agents should be protected, just as the safety of the American citizenry should be protected. As President Joseph R. Biden has so rightly expressed, violence is never justified in any circumstance. The rule of law must always be honored and upheld. It is our shared determination to preserve the civil liberties and human rights of ALL AMERICANS that renders the United States a democracy. We must never abandon this promise. All of our most cherished freedoms depend upon it.
