The CHP is California’s “State Police” since 1995: (i.e. “Texas Rangers” or “State Troopers”): https://www.chp.ca.gov/home/about-us/the-history-of-the-california-highway-patrol/milestones-in-time/merger-of-the-highway-patrol-and-the-state-police

And in 1990: “The CHP is directed by Governor Pete Wilson to provide law enforcement services to any city or police jurisdiction requesting assistance.”

I guess the Capitol Police could have just contacted the county sheriff or police dept. of the city where the guy lives. They probably figured CHP would “go along” better than a county sheriff.

I would love to know who contacted the CHP to investigate alleged on-line threats to an out of state representative, who resides 3000 miles from CA. From my perspective, if this were thought to be a credible legitimate threat, the FBI would conduct the investigation. I would guess these people in D.C. are receiving so many threats (Or comments they don't like), on-line or otherwise, they're using everyone they can to make it appear they're being investigated to appease the corrupt misfits in D.C.

If I were some big public figure and was receiving threats I thought were credible and I was told the California Highway Patrol would be investigating these cyber threats, I'd be thinking I was being pranked. Where's the hidden camera??...lol
