Someone (who, no idea...can’t remember) pointed out that Janet Napolitano (curses upon her) was or is connected to AZ, as well as NoName, Flake and other highly corrupt and criminal entities. So very possibly this AZ FBI field office is similarly corrupt. Or the whole thing was a sting, a set up so all the Qanon stuff could be used legally.
Do a search for “Arizona Mafia” - that should take you to coverage of Burke, Napolitano, noname, and many others. AZ is quite the playground for derps.
