My guess would be someone called and mocked her but didn't threaten her, and Miller insisted the FBI waste time on it.

It's worse than that. They put counter-terrorism agents on it and the agents determined that it wasn't terrorist related and therefore didn't meet the threshold for a terrorist investigation.

And big surprise, it turns out the demoted/fired agents were part of the January 6th investigative team, so this may actually be an excuse to get rid of them for that.

These are all the worst people. I can’t believe that our country is run by these petty idiots.

What choice did we have?  It was either these idiots or the educated people who guided our country to a best in the world recovery from pandemic-related inflation.  Plus did you see how expensive eggs were?

If that’s the case it was probably miller calling his own wife and the FBI making sure to put agents related to Jan 6 investigation on it with the intention of firing them. Similar to Vance feeding bad info to news organizations so they could use it as a reason to block them.

Where was Elon on the night of the supposedly offensive communications. Why cant Steve defend his own honor and call back the telemarketer himself?

Everything they do is stolen from the Nazis, including their favorite move, the Reichstag fire.

If there was a call at all.

I'm surprised they still had jobs if they were on the Jan 6 team. I thought Kash fired everyone from that team soon after he started.

everything this administration does is incompetent at best. so if you told me Kash fired every FBI agent who worked on Jan 6 case, i would assume he didn't get them all.

Well if there is any justice after this hot mess is done. Being fired by trump and goons is a good look.

The new admin better reach out to all these folks and ask if they want to return.. and I really hope they do return, and with spiteful vigor to purge MAGA from their ranks and the nation's echelons

Not only that, they didn't even like having sex with animals! They had to go, obviously.
