Steve Schmidt: "This is an urgent matter. This is not ok in America. We do not have secret police"

37. I think a lot of Prince's mercenaries were former Green Berets or other special forces.

These guys don’t fit that picture. Some of them are prison guards and ICE agents, plus TSA because airports need fewer of them now. A photo from last week showed one man with a patch on his sleeve indicating the San Diego Correctional system.

The bigger question is to whom do they report? And what chain of command is that person in? And what authorities have they been given? Have they been given the right to arrest people? These people seem to be operating outside the Capitol police as well as outside any the National Guard or US military. Is Barr the one issuing their orders? And if so what legal right does the AG have to direct the actions of government employees outside the DOJ?

Or is all this just one big photo op that Trump is staging to make it look like the protests are out of control and he is the strongman who is using the country’s resources to manfully take control back?
