Tonight former FBI Asst. Director Frank Figliuzzi will be doing a Zoom call with a public library to discuss (cough: promote) his new book "The FBI Way". I suggest everyone try and lodge coherent questions through the email [email protected]. I will write a list of such questions in the comments to this post.

Who is Frank Figliuzzi? This is a man who in 2019 alleged that the Trump Administration was sending secret [email protected] messages by raising the White House flag from half staff on August 8, as in 8-8 or "88" which has connotations among traditional alt-right communities. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/08/07/msnbc_contributor_frank_figliuzzi_discovers_hidden_nazi_message_in_white_house_statement.html

Mr. Figliuzzi also recently when on Bill Maher's show to advocate for new federal laws criminalizing "domestic terrorism", because according to him existing laws are insufficient for putting political extremists in prison. This should be opposed by any person treasuring civil liberties regardless of other political leanings. https://twitter.com/FrankFigliuzzi1/status/1353504859941609473

The same week, Figliuzzi called on the Senate to strengthen the FBI's ability to RE-investigate White House nominees. He was responding to Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse's (D-RI) objection to retaining FBI Director Chris Wray who in his opinion had insufficiently scrutinized then SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh. For the record I am not a fan of either Wray or Kavanaugh based on their stances on civil liberties. But apparently Figliuzzi feels that the FBI must ruthlessly pursue federal nominees for alleged crimes that have no corroborating evidence.
