Seems like they are playing right into a odd trap.....likely to be how they get rid of Biden if he is elected, because they certainly won't be able to pull this on Trump.
The FBI’s Washington, D.C., headquarters sent agents from its “Fly Team,” an elite counterterrorism unit, to Portland this summer during the second weekend in July. Their task was to interview arrested protesters and carry out the “initial exploitation of phones, or other communication devices,” according to FBI emails obtained through a public records request.
Three other sources, each familiar with the Fly Team, told me they were not surprised at the dispatch of Fly Team reinforcements, especially considering that local FBI squads had “been running hard for several weeks,” according to Chamberlin’s email. The unit, sometimes also known as the “Fly Away Team,” was created by former FBI Director Robert Mueller during the months after the September 11, 2001, attacks as part of a broader reorganization of intelligence and counterterrorism agencies. Fly Team agents receive training in digital evidence collection, interrogation, electronic surveillance, as well as other specialized skills, and are often sent to assist with major terrorism-related investigations, both foreign and domestic. In the past, Fly Team agents have been sent to investigate terrorist attacks in Saudi Arabia and Morocco and to interview detainees held at the notorious Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.
How the FBI quantifies and responds to a threat of violent extremism from the left, as opposed to the right, could become a pressingly consequential issue around Election Day. The bureau is reportedly preparing to coordinate a federal response to any political violence and civil unrest from a command center on Pennsylvania Avenue, a short walk from the Department of Justice.

I don’t see any way the election will not end in vicious dissension unless Trump wins by such a landslide that it cannot be questioned. The cheating has to be stopped BEFORE it happens, not revealed after the fact. That ain't easy. It would be like preventing the kid in the above quoted story from lying. How do you do that?

I am replying to my own post to highlight a couple of other words in his professional life. He signed with 'Death Row Records' in 1996. They were ready to release his album "All Eycz On Me" in 1996 before he was shot by person unknown.
But prior to this he was mentioned by another Vice President, Dan Quayle, who criticized his rap song Soulja's Story.
What are the chances that the same rapper is mentioned by two different people, one a Vice President and one pretending to run for that position. Odd, very odd.
The bio is in the post ^.
In an announcement sure to add fuel to the growing accusations that Hip Hop artists are being watched by the government,
Kevin Hackie, a former bodyguard of the late Tupac Shakur recently admitted that he was an undercover FBI agent while he worked for the deceased rapper.
Hackie’s statements Friday cast further doubt on the theory at the center of the lawsuit: that corrupt police officers orchestrated the slaying of the 24-year-old rapper, and that top LAPD officials covered up their actions.
“I will be in court to testify, but it is a matter of record that I am stressed out and have been on medication for the past five years,” Hackie said during an extensive interview conducted in the presence of his attorney, Joseph L. Pittera of Torrance.
“My memory is bad. I’m going to answer questions to the best of my knowledge, what I remember. But this whole thing has put me over the edge. I am so stressed. I probably won’t even remember our conversation tomorrow.”
Amendment XXV
Section 1.
In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.
Section 2.
Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.
Section 3.
Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as Acting President.
Section 4.
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President....
Timing is a curious thing. When I first started this series in May of 2008, the fact that Jim Morrison’s father had served as the commander of the ships involved in the Gulf of Tonkin ‘incident’ had gone virtually unreported for some four-and-a-half decades. Readers were shocked – shocked, I tell you! – when I began this series by trotting out that revelation. Some even accused me of making it up, or of somehow twisting the facts.
