If you look into the Cossacks, you find a grain of truth to the militia charge. The question is, so what? They weren’t involved in crime or designs on the government.
The Cossacks appear to have been patrolling the border and reporting illegals. And its gone on for a while. This in turn ticked off the Bandidos who trade in drugs brought across the border. Toes were stepped on.
Washington in general and Obama in particular don’t want the border sealed. They refuse to do it and they get ticked off when someone else does it.
I think this is what things were about. I think the BATF was invoved and supplied all the spy toys with the goal of showing criminal activity on the part of the Cossacks. I believe the undercover officers were to incite the Cossacks into instigating a fight with the Bandidos to discredit the club and justify a crackdown on the Cossacks instead of the gangs that run drugs.
It turned out like a lot of operations the BATF runs.
Ooh that would be rich, if there was a wink-wink between the Administration of Obamination and the Bandidos.
“The Cossacks appear to have been patrolling the border and reporting illegals.”
That’s a new one ...
