As a former Prosecutor in the D.C. area (NOVA) I had the opportunity to “hang out” with many a State and Federal politician in my years there. Believe me when I say ... this is nothing new. These plans have been there for a VERY long time.
Agreed that these plans have been in place for a long time, but for first time in recent history, they are making it public that they are arming up every federal agency.
And we have a current crop of politicians who would use deadly force against American citizens on a large scale.
