I am only surprised child porn has not been found on her computer yet. And there is no report from some hotel room cleaner that he or she was raped by Elbakyan.

Those "stolen" military secrets published in journals anyone can purchase for a few bucks does not even sounds scary. Apparently FBI got lazy these days, maybe because of all that Covid mess.

> Apparently FBI got lazy these days, maybe because of all that Covid mess. The FBI has always been lazy. They sent notes to MLK stating he should commit suicide, after all.

  Seems more malicious than lazy.

    Of course it’s malicious. In context they were making a tongue-in-cheek joke intended to expose those that never heard about the MLK letter(s) to their existence. In other news, I only learned about the assassination of Fred Hampton quite recently. That’s a fun one.

      I am skeptical about FBI but 1969 was over 50 years ago and that was under Hoover. Different FBI now. They have jurisdiction over copyright issues so no need for any international intrigue. Maybe there actually is one here.

    You can be lazy with your malice, I think.

If the FBI wanted to catch spies, I bet they could find a few at Los Alamos labs. I’m sure there are. Besides, military contractors are constantly “inadvertently” sending classified materials to questionable third parties and get fined at most and no one gets prosecuted and sent to the penn.

  "I bet they could find a few at Los Alamos labs". They have, but unfortunately they get innocent people and lock them in solitary confinement for months eventually resulting in $1.6 million dollar pay outs and presidential apologies to the accused.[1] [1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wen_Ho_Lee https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wen_Ho_Lee

    I can't find anything in your link about presidential apologies. The judge in his case apologised: Lee pleaded guilty to one felony count of illegal "retention" of "national defense information." In return, the government released him from jail and dropped the other 58 counts against him. Judge Parker apologized to Dr. Lee for the unfair manner in which he was treated. The judge also regretted being misled by the executive branch into ordering Dr. Lee's detention, stating that he was led astray by the Department of Justice, by its FBI, and by its United States attorney. He formally denounced the government for abuse of power in its prosecution of the case.[20][21][22] Later, President Bill Clinton remarked that he had been "troubled" by the way Dr. Lee was treated.[23][24][25][26]

      Wikipedia is not a great source for truth of specific facts, but in the "Government investigation" section there is the line "President Bill Clinton issued a public apology to Lee over his treatment by the federal government during the investigation.[5] " Which references a CNN article that states: "Then-President Clinton issued a public apology to Lee over his treatment." [5] http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/05/22/scotus.wenholee/ http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/05/22/scotus.wenholee/ It would be nice to find a full quote or video of the apology to be more certain that it happened and it was not a sorry, not really sorry, apology.

Elbakyan is a woman, and sex crimes are mostly a man's thing. Of course, women can do it too but since it is less common, people are going to take a closer look. There is less gender bias with espionage.

For past 3 years, way before pandemic, FBI has already earn the butt joke nationally. Now, we don't even want to talk about it. Think of it as a past the prime stand up comedian.
