> I can attest as a personal experience in the past that this kind of behavior is not uncommon with feds, and has happened even before the current administration

One the first comments on reddit was actually:

> … in trump's america lmao

Someone had to awkwardly point out it was biden’s america. Which makes it easier and saves keystrokes: it’s just “america, lmao”. Then other countries can be even worse so it’s “lmao”. And soon enough they are just laughing their asses off while the person is stuck in jail.

> "clear hacking tools" I had installed in my computer, e.g CCleaner

I have always wondered if they are primarily that stupid or just evil and pretending to be stupid. I am leaning towards evil.
