Videos are being shared on social media that purportedly show an alarming trend with President Joe Biden’s Justice Department.
“This has been happening much more these days,” wrote former U.S. Ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell on X in response to one such video.
“Wake up, America,” he added.
.The video allegedly shows the unfolding scene as a trio claiming to be FBI agents arrive at someone’s home regarding “memes she posted on social media criticizing Joe Biden,” according to the Libs of TikTok account on X.
Holy smokes. Video allegedly shows the FBI showing up at a woman’s house to question her because of memes she posted on social media criticizing Joe Biden. They refused to show ID and identify themselves. https://t.co/OaWZzw8WJW

After repeatedly being asked to identify themselves by name and credentials, and to show their identification, the men continued to refuse, though the person filming seemed to say the IDs were shown at one point before the video began.
Some social media comments note that federal agents are not allowed to have their credentials photographed or filmed, thus the refusal to comply with the request. However, there did not seem to be any explanation given for their refusal to provide the information.
Other users on X reacted to the video posted by Joel Fischer.
Dangerous situation for sure, no badges……Most people would view this as some cop scam used to invade your home and kill your family.

This is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT what they did when they showed up at my house in 2021.

Some urged caution as the video did not provide enough context.
I think we might be falling into a trap here.
She admits they showed her ID.
We have no idea what she posted.
The FBeye is focusing on memes more than real threats, but until we know what this lady posted, we should be careful.

Do we really think they were Feds? No govt tags? If this is true it is terrifying. God help us all.

In a separate video, an FBI agent allegedly came to question someone over a threatening tweet. It was reposted by Republican Senate candidate in Arizona, Kari Lake.
With all of the lawlessness in this country, can you imagine the FBI showing up at your door over a tweet?! https://t.co/jsAyP3TcKW

In the comments, the X user verified that the video and the incident were “100% real.”
100% real

And there was more clarification on what the FBI visit was about.
He said a threat came into the FBI on judges lives. You can see I never mentioned a judge. 8.3 million views and thousands of comments. I honestly don’t believe his story. I think the DA in Baton Rouge got butthurt.

Wanted to know if I knew who might have threatened a judge. 🙄🙄
— 𝐊𝐚𝐦 𝐒𝐭.𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧 (@KAM4Texas) March 29, 2024
We had a conversation. I asked why the scrutiny was on me. I received lots of threats for my tweet. He left me alone after that.

While some comments continued to debate the veracity of the videos and the identity of the purported FBI agents, many on X were just disturbed by the optics.
This sort of activity absolutely disgusts me. Why don’t they go after actual real criminals.

It’s sad with everything going on in this country all FBI has time to do is to investigate mean tweets. God help us.

I thought that the US is riddled with violent crime. And this is what the FBI does?

This is insane. This is not what I want our tax dollars wasted on..intimidation speech police.
