NO, it doesn't.The last was a general statement. Lazy investigators take those kinds of shortcuts.
custodial means a lot of different things,
She wasn't.in this case she might have been in custody.
NO, she wouldn't.If she asked the agents to leave and they refused she would have been in custody.
Why not?She was frightened according to the story and was more cooperative than she should have been.
NO SHIT.The whole visit was a means for the agents to get information on her whereabouts when they didn’t have enough evidence for a warrant.
BUT.........The cops may try to entrap you.She was lucky the agents didn’t try to entrap her.
You are required to present license and registration when driving. Driving is a privilege.
NO, it isn't.Possession of Marijuana is a Federal Crime.
BUT, she did cooperate.People have been busted for exactly that. It’s called leverage, “cooperate or go to prison for years for possession”. Like I said lazy investigators take shortcuts.
Again, there was no suspected crime to investigateYES, they did.
When someone calls the FBI, it's their job to check it out.
Just like the police do.
It wasn't Trump's pity rally at the Ellipse park, they were checking out.
It was the capitol riot that followed.
"FBI agents told her they had received an anonymous tip that she was at the Capitol on January 6. She invited them into her home and showed them her calendars to show that she hadn’t been at the Capitol on that day'.
So, they left.
WTF is the BFD?
MAGA cult hysterics.................as usual.
YES, there was, you moron.Again, there was no suspected crime to investigate
The FBI wasn't there to see if Gallager was at Trump's pity rally.Attending a rally is not a crime
NO, SHIT.In any event she wasn't there
So if there was a tipster that person committed a felony and needs to go to jail
And if the FBI is lying they need to be punished
Gee, if the Chinese have the goods on our sitting President because his brother and son have been making millions selling access to the White House but Hunter is a crack addict whoremonger who was too stupid to cover his tracks then YES the FBI needs to investigate to make sure our country's best interests haven't been compromised by a President the Chinese now OWN!
Except the FBI didn't have a single piece of evidence indicating that. If they had gotten a simple search warrant for her cell phone metadata, they could have established that the “tip” was a lie. That could have been done on line and the phone in a few minutes. Instead they wasted multiple manhours of agent’s time and expensive gasoline for the Suburbans agents typically drive to ask questions of an innocent person,
So is this the way our justice system works now? The FBI shows up at your house and you need to prove that you weren't at the Capital on 1/6 or you face arrest?YES, there was, you moron.
The FBI wasn't there to see if Gallager was at Trump's pity rally.
They were there to see if she was at the capitol, when it was attacked.
NO, SHIT.
U.S. Capitol Violence
The FBI is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying individuals who made unlawful entry into the U.S. Capitol building and committed various other alleged criminal violations, such as destruction of property, assaulting law enforcement personnel, targeting members of the media for assault, and other unlawful conduct, on January 6, 2021, in Washington, D.C.
I understand that repeatedly providing tips with no investigative value will result in my tips not being considered.
I understand that providing false information could subject me to fine, imprisonment, or both (Title 18, U.S. Code, Section 1001).
I think Hunter Biden is being protected by the Biden DOJ, Faun! Anyone who doesn't is a bit naive.So you still think Hunter is not under investigation?
Cops don’t show up at your door unless they have nearly decided to arrest you. If they have questions, they simply call and ask you to come down to their office for an interview.
WTF?So is this the way our justice system works now?
YES.The FBI shows up at your house and you need to prove that you weren't at the Capital on 1/6 or you face arrest?
A phone call is “talking to the woman”. But it’s much easier to say no to an “interview” over the phone than it is when several armed agents show up at your door.
I’m a law-abiding citizen, but my response to cops or federal agents coming to my door to ask questions would be a polite “I have nothing to say without a lawyer present. When can we schedule an interview with my attorney present”. I’m sure they wouldn’t appreciate that, but it’s my right under the Constitution.
You really don't even grasp why that's wrong, Smokin' which amazes me! That's NOT the way it's always been. Not even close.WTF?
THAT'S the way, it always has been.
YES.
Holy fuck.
They got an ANONYMOUS tip. That lowers the credibility right there. So on the basis of a less than reliable tip, they load three expensively trained agents who average TWENTY NINE DOLLARS AN HOUR each in salary into a Suburban that gets seventeen miles per gallon to go talk to a woman as the FIRST STEP in an investigation? That’s absurd. I wanted to be a cop at one point and nearly got an AA degree in Admin of Justice. You don’t conduct personal interviews with suspects until you have your facts in a row so that you can detect lies from the suspect. Interviewing witnesses is one thing, but this woman was a suspect. The only reasonable explanation for this is that the agents were trying to steamroller her in violation of the Miranda Decision and prevent her from exercising her fifth amendment rights. This kind of conduct on the part of professional LEOs stinks and should not be permitted.
It’s an implied threat.
The FBI had no reasonable suspicion of a crime
Because attending a rally is not against the law
No, Miranda warnings have to be given before a SUSPECT is questioned. Police always try to avoid that, it’s why the first words out of your mouth should be “am I a suspect and am I being detained?”
The big deal is people trying to cooperate with the FBI have been convicted of lying to the FBI and jailed for simple mistakes and oversights. The only smart thing to do is not talk without a lawyer present to protect you. By inviting the agents into her house, she was allowing them to arrest her for anything illegal they saw lying around. She essentially waived her fourth amendment rights against a cursory search.
The last was a general statement. Lazy investigators take those kinds of shortcuts.
custodial means a lot of different things, in this case she might have been in custody. If she asked the agents to leave and they refused she would have been in custody. She was frightened according to the story and was more cooperative than she should have been.

I would not have invited them in and brought the calender to the doorway.The story says it was an anonymous tip. No, Miranda warnings have to be given before a SUSPECT is questioned. Police always try to avoid that, it’s why the first words out of your mouth should be “am I a suspect and am I being detained?” if the answer to either is yes, the next and last thing out of your mouth should be “ I want an attorney”.
it’s not a citizen’s job to help police “get anything done”. It’s the job of LEOs to investigate crimes within the boundaries of the law and constitution, not to take the easy road of bullying and/or deceiving intervenes or suspects.
