I'm another one of those old guys who are doing their best to stop the fascists. A few years ago I filed a FOIA request to see if I had an FBI file. I did! It was interesting reading. Back in the 1970s the FBI "investigated me" and talked to my boss and my landlord. I obviously had committed no actual crime but they were just fucking with my job and housing. Nothing has changed.

You might want to file an FOIA request yourself. Just a suggestion.
