2. The unfortunate problem here
Fri Sep 5, 2025, 09:49 AM

is that for many decades, municipal, county, and state investigative units (including LEO) have had "partnerships" and "MOUs" (Memorandums of Understanding) with the equivalent federal authorities to carry out a variety of work, including law enforcement.

Since each entity was usually underfunded by their respective funding authorities, partnering would allow them to "pool resources" for a common goal.

However when you have a particular entity - in this case, a loon federal administration, coming in and "weaponizing" their power by unilaterally operating in a locale, with little or no communication and/or coordination with the municipal/county/state organizations, then you have a break in the agreements and trust, and that is what has happened here.
