    They were any federal agent that volunteered. So anyone with a badge in federal employment.

      Yeah I don’t recall it being 100% clear on who they were due to know identification. Mean wasn’t it like some federal forest service (okay according to Google was department of interior) doing the gassing for the photo bible bit?

      Of course this is what his supporters want, I just hope the rest of the US decides this isn’t who they want to be. But I’m not holding my breath anymore , a giant douche filled with a turd sandwich should get more votes than that sepsis on society.

        That’s the thing they formed an “interagency taskforce” so it was Forest Service, BLM, Corrections, FBI, Federal Police, ICE, DHS, etc etc etc. You couldn’t point to any one agency, which was part of the problem. The other problem is it was an obvious end run around Posse Comitatus. He couldn’t get the military to deploy illegally so he made his own little army.
