He's been 'in hiding' for months, and many speculate he's cooperating with the FBI.

They will inevitably have informants there just based on who is going and the groups involved. If they have infiltrated groups, and the groups will have people there, they will get very good intel.

But I don't think they will be posing as waiters or gaffers or anything like that. And they certainly won't be using video surveilance without a warrant. Unless they have an active investigation of cpac, which is unlikely, they will just rely on informants to record events and take notes.

Who was at the Capitol but has for some reason not been taken into custody, and who has openly sat for interviews with the FBI against his lawyers' advice, was seen circulating in the crowd...hmmm.

and they are in fact brazen about their position and their plans, I think they would be remiss in not doing so.

And I hope the information they collect on those CPAC douchebags is put to maximum effective use.

and i'm guessing there are enough people there already under investigation that they have all the legal authority they need.
