No it isn’t and it never was. That was the excuse they used to cover their gun fetish. They always saw themselves as the shock troops of the authoritarian takeover, and the fact that they are delighted it’s happening is confirmation.

Sure, they could, and probably should. But evidence suggests they won’t. So what’s the point of them spying on him? They’ll collect a bunch of information and do nothing about it.

Karma’s a bitch.
