So it is unfolding this morning over who will replace Hans-Georg Maaßen with ARD (public German TV, Channel One) reporting.
What they say is that the Hamburg 'boss' over the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution....Torsten Voß....is likely to get promoted to the national job.
The chief problem? He'll have to agree that even if there is disinformation/misinformation and fake news involved....he'll still go and pretend it doesn't exist to arrest/detain people in the Chemnitz protests/riots.
Once the arrests come? Well....this gets interesting. If you detain or charge up anyone....the defense will bring up that the information is probably disinformation/misinformation/fake news and the judge will have to decide if he thinks they are right. If you ask me....it's just inviting a bigger mess to occur six months down the road.
The other factor here, which the news media seems to be glossing over and pretending it doesn't exist....this is the same guy who was in charge during the G-20 summit period in Hamburg, and you can't really say anything positive over how 'protection' went after that riot/protest period. But frankly at this point, maybe it doesn't matter anymore on who is doing the job....as long as they pretend misinformation/disinformation doesn't exist.
