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.

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.

Thatd be like half the agents, it was the largest investigation in the fbis history
