FBI personnel v. Breitbart

[misanthrope]

Can the FBI agents who were doxxed by Breitbart take legal action against the media outlet? Would the agents have to wait until a threat to their safety materializes first?

1. Seems like the FBI and DOJ need to shut breitbart down. Wingnuts already plotting to kill those

agents. Per MSNBC, extremists are talking about “helicopter rides” for the agents, referencing Pinochet tossing dissidents out of helicopters.

2. Shut down Breitbart?

Gee, that would be a real shame.

4. Probably not legal. I am a legal dumb ass.

3. The FBI is used to dealing with criminals like Trump and Breitbart

FBI agents are very protective of their home lives and families for just that reason.

5. You know

I just dont see this as being a good thing for Breitbart.

I would imagine the FBI is seriously pissed off

6. Unlike random Breitbart readers

the FBI agents are highly trained. FBI v Breitbart, my money is on the FBI.

Top comments on Trump forums right now are just trying to ID the specific FBI agents who were part of and signed off on the raid so they can be “helicopter passengers,” a reference to Chilean dictator Augusta Pinochet murdering dissidents by throwing them out of helicopters.

They haven’t been too successful at it and are awaiting an affidavit because it will “NAME the traitors.”
