I seem to recall that outfit having much to do with the "death" of LaVoy Finnicum a few years ago i.e. Sending out an FBI Hostage Rescue Team + other resources (at least one of whom got indicted for lying/concealing evidence about that affair) and after the smoke cleared authoring no end of NothingToSeeHere statements and Pressers.
Now we've got another NTSH statement from 'em, this time we're told those arson fires are just our fevered imagination actin' up, AntiFag don't have nuthin to do with nuthin and we should all go back to sleep.
