There was no “secret signal” for the FBI, OSHA, the BATF, and the IRS to target a single person for “increased scrutiny”.
The order came from someone who has power over ALL the executive agencies.
What kind of group or groups would benefit from sowing distrust in this country against it's most patriotic citizens? Democrats are one group that would benefit from creating an atmosphere of 'hatred for conservatives' but who else?
There's major money and thought behind this scam and many many useful idiots involved...
