Don't you hate mortgages, too, fellow young person?

I saw they also carry briefcases as well rather than backpacks and stuff.

So, yeah, it wasn't the best undercover operation.

They send another undercover agent to pose as a UPS employee.

And he did all sorts of stuff that UPS employees don't do.

Like he insisted that the Branch Davidians let him use the phone in the bathroom.

And then he went to another part of the compound and tried the same thing.

And they met him at the door with a roll of toilet paper.

And then another guy, Robert Rodriguez, he actually managed to successfully embed himself in the Branch Davidians.

He showed up as a student and a follower and started attending Bible studies.

And it was successful in that, like, he was never kicked out.

But it was unsuccessful in that they knew that he was a federal agent almost from the outset.

And later on, I think during these negotiation talks, the FBI was like, well, if you knew he was undercover, why didn't you kick him out?

And I don't remember who said it.

One of them said, we liked him.

Like, we saw at his core he was a good guy and we liked being around him.

We came to like him.

So why would we kick him out?

Yeah.

So it was really weird.
