Sorry, you read my thread that repeatedly pointed out that the FBI has engaged in abuses, that Hoover set up an unconst'l fourth branch and that it would be too dangerous to exist if it was politicized was too uncritical for you, Jake.

This was a very exciting thread of personal attacks against me by demolishing claims I haven't made and don't hold, and which doesn't even tenuously connect to the thing that I originally tweeted about, so I guess I'll leave it here.
Matt: Pointing out another person's blind spots is NOT a personal attack. Pointing out that another person has imposed a false, dualistic framework on a complex problem is not an attack. That you view it that way is rather remarkable, for a normally rigorous analyst.

And that's particularly true given that this thread started when Jake and I noted, with evidence, that you had caricatured those of us who do criticize the FBI with evidence.

I wish the two of you would debate in real life. I find your debates on Twitter to be very helpful in understanding 4th amendment issues. Thank you.

It would be fun. I think Matt is on most things a really rigorous analyst.

I think if we ever met in person we would be in danger of agreeing on more things than we disagree about. Twitter is a bad medium.

You're in TX full time now, tho, right? Not Babylon?

I live in Austin, although "full time" is matter of dispute given how much I travel.
