Any region in which there are verified reports of Trump support, is a region which must be actively surveilled and protected against existential threats to our democracy via Capitol insurrections, or planning thereof.

Helpfully, the article you posted spells that out in the first sentence.

Bullshit.

And I do mean bullshit. That's not their job, any more than it is for them to drop by and screw your aunt on Saturday night.

It's still not their job.

If they want to be FBI or Marshals, let them be FBI or Marshals.

I do not believe in duplication of services, not if I'm paying for it.

When you’re king, maybe you can change their mandate.

I'd settle for being Hitler for a day. Maybe Stalin.
