There is NO Constitutional basis for the Capitol Police (whose job is SOLELY the police protection for the United States Capitol (Not CapitAl, but Capitol) building and the occupants therein when in session or their office premises when they are not in session.
That’s it— there is NO purview or jurisdiction which could be cited to justify offices for these police in Tampa, FL or in CA. There is none— zero justification for this.
Unless of course this is the first iteration of a National Police Force-— the “vision” of obamaumao to have such a force, both public and secret (the secret one being akin to the Geheim Staats Polizei— the GESTAPO)
That was my point. I believe that Founders intended to have a Standing Army for Defense against foreign powers and State Militias and local Police for internal control, NOT a National Police! We are headed for Fascistic Marxism.
