Use this kind of deductive reasoning on the idea of the agent being on a terror watch list.

They said the name on the license didn't match the name that the FBI office confirmed. Perhaps it was intentional so that if anything happens to the agent, the feds are alerted due to the terror list requirement.

Actually cheap entertainment for a rainy Thursday afternoon.

Apparently, the agent ended up having to "retire" because the release of the video has as it basically burned his cover and also hurt the investigation. I also heard that the original video outed an informant before being edited.
I could see the part about a CI being burned, but the agent had to retire? There aren’t any non-undercover jobs at the FBI? Also why would the FBI send someone who primarily does undercover work to interview a cop in the first place? It’s not like the guy was trying to hide the fact that he was a federal agent - he said “I’ll just have to call the US Attorney” when the deputy refused to answer his questions.
That said, it was obvious that he didn’t want the Sheriff’s Department to dig around the case. I assume that’s why he didn’t want to give the name of his supervisor. Seems like the agent handled it poorly all the way around though. Once he saw that the situation was escalating and they were going to detain him until the supervisor showed up, you would think he could have had someone from the FBI call to clear it up rather than letting the situation deteriorate for another 30 minutes.

That agent is a bitch.
No doubt he filled suit and took a leave of absence due to trauma.

Sounds like he wanted to meet the agent one on one, and get him to inform on others in the Dept. But it didn’t exactly go as planned.
The sheriff leaving in that situation shows he knew what was happening.

Babies die in cars because they don’t have as much surface area for temperature regulation as adults. Maybe this guy had a medical condition, or a panic attack that led to a heat stroke. Or maybe he was milking it? Either way there’s no reason to expect a grown man to have a heat stroke after being in a car for 10-15 minutes with the door opened multiple times. Especially not in jacket weather.

Yeah pretty interesting that he showed up and stuck around just long enough to say “frick this shite” and roll out.
If I were the sheriff and some guy claiming to be an FBI agent with credentials had just been placed into handcuffs after trying to interview one of my deputies, I think I would at least want to chat with the guy and ask him what the hell was going on. I don’t know how you just leave in that scenario unless trying to maintain some sort of plausible deniability.

I'll see if I can dig something else up on it.
But the reason I heard was that his identity had been compromised. He was 30+ year agent and the video certainly didn't him much justice. Who knows though they might be hiding him.
FBI is doing police/political corruption in the panhandle/North part of the state. They sent him because he was the agent that worked those type cases.

He had a fleece over a long sleeve shirt. Cold air outside doesn't get in a closed up vehicle.

Pretty sure Gen. Flynn would disagree with you there about who is more corrupt.

Video was taken done.

Well, anybody else notice that the cop had his seatbelt latched, meaning there was no way he has been using it but under his arse.

At first I thought maybe the cop was not very smart and then I ventured in the "well that does seem suspicious" camp but once the deputy told the FBI agent that he wanted to see his notes I knew they knew.
It's not illegal to call a police officer's cell phone. The agent provided proper identification. The cops were intentionally being obtuse.
Also of note: The FBI agent refers to them as "brother" when he's trying to get out of the jam.
Edit: I'm revising this after watching the beginning of the video. The FBI agent did a piss poor job of de-escalating the situation. I thought these guys were supposed to be smart?

This also blows my mind. How does the FBI not have the ability to help their agents quickly?

The reason he came up on a watch list is because he gave them an alias. But you would think they would have his real name on his badge.. But they definitely said he came up under a different name

Leave it to the OT to try and find every possible reason to side with the corrupt sheriff department. The sheriff obviously knew to get the frick out of there. The other officers quickly picked up on why they were being investigated. They know they had some dirt. It's quite obviously by the chunky guys around 40 minutes say, I didn't see anything and so this is about so and so. They know. frick those deputies. If they are corrupt, they need to be locked up.
He keeps saying the agent is uncooperative. He showed you his FBI credentials. At that point, the deputy should be cooperative. Instead you cuff him and lock him in a hot car. And saying he's acting like "that" without using any actual descriptives when the guy wasn't acting abnormally. This is just a way to paint someone into a suspect.

You understand how investigations work, right?
Fixed ticket is entry point into department via the deputy the FBI agent made contact with. FBI can flip the deputy, offer him immunity, etc. etc.
They either know about or have suspicion of other crimes. This was just a step in the process.
