(182,626 posts)From reading that and this Reuters article I get the sense that anyone who slights the Bundy's immediately because suspected of being a Fed agent.
Pizza more than 30 minutes? Aha!! He's a Fed!!
The waitress* who "tipped them off that Federal agents were in the area"? Busted!!! Don't trust her info anymore!!
Carp lady? Well that's a no-brainer.
The guy out there under the tarp? Who ya think HE'S really up to?
