Undercover Agents Couldn’t Get Kicked Off Facebook

Rolling Stone profiles an FBI agent who infiltrated a bunch of right-wing groups:

“Scott was in Phoenix to train online coverts when he ran into a compadre from Ohio. He and ‘Jim,’ a veteran cop assigned to Joint Terror, were the Hans and Franz twins of undercover: two hyper-muscled men with full-dress Harleys and enough tats to start a biker gang. Each of them had heard the buzz about the Base and wanted to get a case going fast.”

“So one night, they bought a fifth of their favorite poison and stayed up building Scott an alias. Using fascist pen names, they made his social media a fount of Holocaust slurs. But try as they might, it proved problematic to get booted off Facebook, or ‘Jewbook,’ as young racists like to call it. A screenshot of your ouster is a very useful chip if you’re seeking instant cred with terror groups.”
