Why Was A "Retired" FBI Agent Talking Online With The Buffalo Shooter?

Would you spend your retirement on the Internet with a teenage mass shooter?

Here’s a story out of Buffalo that’s drawing very little media attention: a supposedly “retired” FBI agent was regularly communicating with the Buffalo shooter — before the shooting.

Seriously?

What’s an FBI agent doing on Discord chatting with a mass shooter during his retirement? Is that how you would spend your time during your golden years? What’s even more incredible is that the FBI agent did not call the FBI to warn anyone about the planned shooting.
