Never much discussion of the how and who of the Feds were involved in the planning of this event. And of course there hasn’t been mush on who was undercover and who were paid informants/provocateurs.
And under this administration, expecting the Feds to do anything in a stable fashion is like expecting a dead drunk man to walk a tightrope. These locals could have been led down the garden path into this, only to be abandoned as the political heat piled on.
In general... self aggrandizing political hacks. Reyna could be as much fall guy as Sheriff Swagger. Nonsense that Trump would insist on being cleaned out.
