Summary

The FBI reported two instances of fake videos using its name and insignia to spread misinformation about the 2024 presidential election.

Likely created by a Russian disinformation group, these fabricated videos falsely claim that prison officials in Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona rigged inmate voting in coordination with a political party.

Another fake video, designed to resemble CBS News, falsely advised remote voting due to a terror threat—a claim the FBI denied.

Researchers say this disinformation group has a history of impersonating news outlets and government entities to sow distrust in U.S. elections.

    Conservatives don’t like the FBI because “feds”.

    Liberals… non-Conservatives don’t like the FBI because of the whole “reopening the case against Hilary” right before the 2016 Election and dicking around with the Trump investigation.

    Also, some people still have an issue with that little bit of sending death threats to MLK Jr or… gestures at J. Edgar Hoover.
