Except, they didn't. Hans-Georg Maassen, the head of the Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz - the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution - doubted the veracity of one particular video. He was forced to walk back his statement after serious questions were raised... 1/
It's only right that questions were raised, as Maassen is seen to have rather too close links to the AfD - Alternativ fuer Deutschland - the Far Right party that has been monopolizing the #Chemnitz incident for its anti-immigration aims. 2/ 
At the end of August it was revealed that Maassen met with Frauke Petry, former leader of the AfD, to advise her, and the party on how to avoid surveillance by the BfV. 3/ dw.com/en/germanys-do…
Today it was revealed that he passed information from the BfV's yearly report to the AfD, ahead of its official publication, and without it being given to other parties. 4/ dw.com/en/german-spy-…
Basically, the dude's job is hanging by a thread because he's been caught in bed with the Far Right and he's probably going to get the boot forthwith. He has been trying desperately to muddy the waters around #Chemnitz and what's going on. /5
The facts speak for themselves - 120 separate complaints lodged by the people of #Chemnitz after the event - people pursued, attack, restaurants attacked - including Jewish businesses. spiegel.de/politik/deutsc…
Basically, stop fucking lying, @PrisonPlanet.
