I've only heard about Mike Zullo, who is always referred to as a "detective," but one can be a private detective outside of law enforcement. Considering it's never been stated which department he worked for, I find this to be the most likely explanation.
Lame. Every article I’ve seen that talks about the posse refers to them as “retired law enforcement officers”. Zullo was previously in NJ law enforcement.
Incredible, that you would trust the “findings” of the 2 Factcheck creeps (who we now know did NOT see/photograph a document that had a seal already on it) but not somebody who was deputized by Sheriff Joe.
Says loads about how you analyze sources for credibility.
