9)..county sheriffs. Lind has suggested these sheriff/militia combos could combat local insurgency & terrorism (a bit ironic given the story at hand). Anyway, here's that monster of a story: https://4thgenwar.wordpress.com/2016/07/03/trump-meets-man-who-inspired-2011-terror-attack-deadlier-than-orlando-shooting/

10) Anyway, I can't speak to the particulars of sheriff leaf & the Null brothers beyond that. But it will be interesting to see what emerges.

11) Also: I have to wonder did the Null brothers think they were in sheriff Dar Leaf's "posse"? Leaf's CSPOA already has a history of creating renegade sheriff/militia hybrids. I mention a few of those in my story on Trump & Lind. Sheriff Joe Arpaio, co-founder of the CSPOA...

12)..had a "posse" of, literally, thousands of men - some of whom were convicted criminals (see Trump/Lind story).

That's the problem with the CSPOA logic - it can give rise to what are essentially private armies, under sheriffs who believe they are the ultimate authorities...

13)..in their respective counties. Also, a number of CSPOA sheriffs have been accused of especially egregious human rights offenses against inmates under their care.

14) One last thing - the FBI raided Dar Leaf's sheriffs office in 2014 and seized computers, but offered no public explanation why. I haven't yet found out how that resolved, if it indeed did.
