I genuinely did. They briefly classified it as “weird” behavior and mentioned that it was “famous” which apparently is only true for the inside circle. I’ve never heard of the incident, and I’d bet 90% of the human population hasn’t either. You are likely privy to more information than me, and I’m not sure it’s fair to assume that I should’ve had the same outside context. I admit I reacted unfairly, but it’s also a tad snarky to post a Google search at someone.

Thanks for that!

Not in this case; I have no inside knowledge about this company, and everything I know is via their public posts, and on this particular topic (the FBI non-report), everything I know is what I could find via Google (sorry if the link seemed snarky; it was my way of pointing out that you have access to all the same information that I do).
What I do have, by virtue of doing jobs like this for a long time, is a well-honed sense of “that can't be right”, and a vigilance about double–checking things before accepting the populist ragey narratives about any topic.
