So I was reading thru the Federal Government's "Affidavit in Support of Criminal Complaint" against Edgar Welch. As you'll recall, he is the person identified as the person who walked into Comet Pizza with an AR-15. The complaint is good reading. Find it here:

What got my attention is the first paragraph, under "Introduction and Agent Background" (3rd page of PDF file).
This is where the FBI's Special Agent, Justin Holgate, provides background on his qualifications.
This line really got my attention: "Prior to being appointed to the FBI, I served as a police officer in Little Rock, AR for three years." What are the chances ?
One other item I am unsure of: Are special agents "appointed" to the FBI ? i thought only the Director was appointed by the President.

Mr Agent man meticulously describes how many bullets were in the AR-15, how many bullets were in the magazine of the AR-15, and how many bullets were in the handgun.
Somehow he never mentions how many shell casings were found. Then he goes on to claim that multiple shots were fired, well before any ballistic tests could have been performed to prove that the uncounted shells on the ground were fired by the gun in question.
Nice Police work there pal.
