- pclmulqdq 3y agoI don't know why this is particularly contentious or controversial. The FBI played a huge role in the Chicago 7 incident in the 70's, which hit progressive democrats. They did the same thing with many other progressive movements in the 70's and 80's. Incitement of riots using informants and undercover agents is a time-honored tradition for the FBI.
