Because the story mentioned only State and Local LE authorities.
Not that the MSM is reliable on facts, but if the Feds were involved they would mention it after Waco.

That being said, I'm sure there's an FBI agent there, if only to serve as a "consultant".

Thank you Republic of Texas

The msm would have to be informed before they could report.
Well the media was reporting a media black-out this morning.
course even so the media is still reporting (:

The fbi as consultants...very good

I doubt there’s an FBI agent there, even in a consulting role.

We have Texas Rangers, and they remember the last time the FBI came to Texas and got involved in what was really a local problem. The FBI and the rest of the Feds blew it and dumped the disaster on the Rangers once it was over.

The FBI remembers the damning report the Rangers produced when they dumped the Waco remains on them. They expected the locals to “clean up their mess”. Instead, the Rangers treated it as a crime scene, did a thorough and professional forensic investigation, and produced a report that slammed the Feds for (among other things) lack of professionalism and triggerhappiness. Surprise! There *are* better law enforcement organizations than the FBI, and the FBI just tried screwing with one of them.

The FBI is going to want to be far, far, far away from this.

That said, what probably happened was that either that team is a Ranger team, or there’s a Ranger on point with the warrant.
