This is to document apparent FBI interference with my attempt to rent a car at Hertz in Mountain View this morning shortly after 11:30 AM.

While my husband spoke to a colleague on the phone in the FedEx Mountain View parking lot, I walked one block to Hertz to inquire about renting a car.

A driver, John "Weine" or "Wyne" (This individual refused to spell his last name for me, and I'm not certain he was honest in its one disclosure.) had taken the place of a customer service representation who had "just stepped out" to a destination unknown with no specified return time.

John seemed to be suggesting that I settle in for a long conversation with him.  When I left the store front, he followed me out the door, remarkably enough.  He proceeded to plead with me to return inside.

His demeanor was entirely false.  I found his assertions to be dubious in every regard.

I was so concerned by this interaction that I returned to my husband's car to retrieve my cell phone and then briefly returned to Hertz to obtain this individual's photo.

Here is his picture:



After taking this photo, I immediately left, while John again begged me to stay.

All I can say is, the FBI must have offered him a great deal of money for the task of lying about our conversation.

What a disheartening indictment of the agency and its affiliates.

I hereby certify that the foregoing is true and correct.
