"No FBI guy would talk like that." I'm sorry, but you're dreaming.  People aren't robots when they're in the unofficial capacity.  They have personalities, quirks, and their own senses of humor. I'm not saying I think FBI anon is legit or real, there's plenty of reason to question it until we see something come to fruition (or not) per their predictions. But in any case, their "tone" in a free speech zone like the chans can't possibly indicate whether or not they're real FBI.  That's just a totally arbitrary and irrelevant litmus test, no offense. Just because you don't like how they talk means nothing, in other words. You watch too much TV is what it sounds like to me.  You have this idea of what an "FBI agent" is in your head, and by God it's not possible for any of these people not to match that template.  That's just not realistic. In fact, the entire reason the population is so pissed at the FBI is precisely because they clearly don't live up to the public's idea of what the standard should be. As for me, I could give a shit about their tone or sense of humor so long as they deal out loads of actual justice with extreme prejudice.  The fact that they've been actively neglecting THAT part of their job - the most important part - is what you should pick at, if anything.
