BOSTON – WBZ-TV I-Team sources say the FBI, along with other federal agents, entered the wrong hotel room as part of a training exercise.

Sources told WBZ chief investigative reporter Cheryl Fiandaca that mistakes were made as federal agents conducting a mock investigation in the middle of the night woke up an airline pilot who had no idea what was going on.

They handcuffed the man and interrogated him for nearly an hour before realizing their mistake, sources said.

It happened on the 15th floor of the Revere Hotel on Stuart Street.

Vic Hartman, a former 25-year veteran of the FBI, said the training exercise in public does not make sense to him.

Way to go feeebs!

At least you clowns didn’t call in the ATF and burn the hotel down on your way out.

Why I leave my dog at home :wink:

An hour before they figured it out?

Sounds like an off-book operation that went sideways…

3

The level of competence, judgment and wisdom I’ve come to expect from the .gov in 2023.

Collapse and renewal cannot come soon enough.

4

Since it was a “training exercise” did that have live ammo? I just imagine the dude rolling off behind the bed and lighting them up.

CAG was in on it, too. The hit went fine. The ISR guys effed up. Uncle Sugar gonna be paying out on this one.

“Vic Hartman, a former 25-year veteran of the FBI, said the training exercise in public does not make sense to him.”

If you want to police state like the Cheka, you need to train like the Cheka.

Randomly terrorizing innocent people through incompetence is a feature for the police state, not a bug.

Hmmmm…. 45 minutes? And they used a shower? I know they say DOD, but this was an ‘FBI’ opp, right?

So, in 45 minutes I think that even an innocent person would eventually say the word “Lawyer”…

Did they read him his rights? Training op, so it was filmed for after-brief, right?

Not sure how much this is worth. I’d start at $5million, net to me. Pain and suffering- he can’t stay in hotel rooms anymore…

Before I even finished reading the OP’s post I thought, “Delta” and “culminating exercise.”

Here’s the audio of the 911 call.

Feebs and CAG are sooooo soooory… :lol:

Well looks like some dudes probably just failed OTC.

11

Incompetency and corruption is why America has lost its standing.

12

So, is “Hand Cuffed in the Bathroom” code for "We were waterboarding the shi+ out of those guys?

13

Sounds like we better………… prepare.

14

Why are folks referring to CAG? You do realize the pilot is with Delta Airlines, not Delta Force?

15

So some random dude who didn’t do jack gets his door kicked in and gets treated to some WWE meets gangsta water park type hijinks. Why do I think this “real world training” didn’t go awry at all. Seems to be exactly what the fleebs want to do in the real world, to everyone.

ETA: Dude should just consider himself lucky the FBI didn’t just make some shit up and bury him in a supermax for life to keep him quiet.

16

I actually wondered if it was real world snatch and grabbed the wrong guy.

17

The unit which was working with FBI was CAG. Just a different Delta from the Delta pilot. The Delta pilot, that was just delicious irony.

18

Thanks for clearing that up.

19

We make jokes about him being lucky he didn’t have his dog with him or they didn’t frame him to cover it up… but it’s coming. The police state gets worse from here.

As for CAG, it’s just a best guess because we know they sometimes work/train with the FBI HRT. From the CNN article linked above: “Members of the FBI and the US Army Special Operations Command…”

I’m slow too, I had to read it three times before I was able to tell that both Delta were represented in this screwed up mess.
