Were they hoping he would say something snide and impolite so they could shoot him for “resisting arrest?” That would have taken care of their problem. I doubt they knew just how bad their situation would get, though or they would have manufactured an excuse to shoot him and his guards. A gunfight between the Feds and Trumps SS and private security might not have turned out well, though.
I’m VERY familiar with the SS and the FBI.
The only thing the FBI may have that is better than the SS is snipers in the field. In a close-range gunfight, the SS wins against any street level FBI agent.
FBI is better at SWAT breaching tactics. I’ve seen that firsthand and my ears are still ringing. If an FBI SWAT team is paying someone a hostile visit, they will put each round exactly where they want them to be. Heart/head or head/heart. FBI swat commanders have ice in their veins, or they did 10 years back.
Obama removed/replaced the hard charging patriots in every branch of the armed services and all the alphabet agencies with political types that believe what he does. The foxes are in all the hen houses, and they are very well paid.
Trump knows all of this and has balls of steel for staying in this game. The agency, especially, is not to be messed with. They see and hear everything.
