The secret to Washington’s control is the state and counties, Washington would be a laughing stock with states they couldn’t control. Imagine states closing FBI field offices all over the country and FBI unarmed going to local sheriffs “hat in hand” to review and serve warrants. FBI, “We want to hit them with a pre-dawn raid and hold the dude’s family at gun point”…. Sheriff, “No we’ll go talk to him at work.”
