I am beginning to suspect this is all part of plan to quietly build up a huge federal police presence without alarming the sheoples. If Obowmao just tripled the size of the FBI, there would be a lot of questions asked. So instead he spreads it around various smaller groups. We now have FBI, Homeland Security, IRS, Federal Reserve, Social Security, ATF, Secret Service, and probably other departments all with some significant number of police officers.
This is an end-run around the Posse Comitatus Act. It gives the Feds their own internally focused military to keep us in line.
Yes; and I know there are agencies that few even heard about; some are up to ‘5-letters’ now.
