Ars having some fun selecting quotes.
I was going to say that hindsight is 20/20, but in this case the hindsight sounds pretty short sighted as well.
It sounds like Mr. Council was the fall guy for his co-conspirators. He did all the in person stuff, with his own face, and it doesn't sound like he thought particularly deeply about the need to cover his tracks until it was too late.
Considering he did a search for "how can I know for sure if I am being investigated by the FBI", he can't be the sharpest knife in the drawer.
It's fair for him to try and do an internet search for US federal police processes, but the question style does not inspire confidence.
I should get in the habit of Googling "how to renew expiring fed mitm certificate" every few weeks for the microscopic chance the joke might some day pay off big time.
