- Editor's Notes:
- Ok, these folks at least went to the trouble of getting some basic FBI-ish info and a bogus email domain that kinda-sorta looks legit.
- The opening run-on sentence MIGHT show our current educational state. But it's more likely that the writer of this email is an idiot and (gasp) does not really work for the office of Robert Mueller.
- I think it's safe to assume that "Agent James" is a crook.
