        PS/ Key features of Barr's Army: 1⃣ Heavily armed 2⃣ Roving (i.e. offensive and defensive) 3⃣ Unidentifiable (no nameplates) 4⃣ Silent (no communication with citizens) 5⃣ Lawless (little communication with local officials) 6⃣ Use-of-force protocols and scope of authority unknown

        PS2/ Please understand what this means: heavily armed federal vigilantes who act under no clear authority, use force provocatively, and will not identify themselves are coming to your town within 120 days of a federal election and at a time when protests are a regular occurrence.

        PS3/ I wouldn't be concerned like this—I value the rule of law—if these agents were a) identifiable, b) purely defensive (setting up tight perimeters around federal property), c) responsive to local officials (and articulating to citizens exactly what they're being arrested for).

        PS4/ I understand there are many to the left of me politically alarmed about a much wider scope of law enforcement actions than I am. I'm an attorney, officer of the court, and sworn adherent to the Constitution who believes in rule of law... and is scared and nauseous over this.

        PA5/ Also remember: while US citizens were being black-bagged off the streets of Portland by unidentified, heavily armed federal agents lacking probable cause for arrest... ...Trump was moving the Clinton and Bush portraits in the White House so he wouldn't have to look at them.

        Some of them may have become never Trumpers. He's only polling at, what, 38% nationwide for his handling on anything. That could represent a large number of Libertarians fleeing his base. Also, Libertarian opinions are never reported, unless they shore up the GOP.
