Codrea is highlighting that this letter only works as a hoax because a meaningful number of people already believe the government is capable of doing this—or at least flirting with it rhetorically. The letter didn’t appear in a vacuum. It landed in an environment primed for distrust. “Federal authorities say they are investigating a report

If ATF leadership was required to compose a white paper to justify their existence, the page would be left blank. I will reserve my judgement until we have some history
