Its the same reason why then went around "busting" all those ISIS plots in 2014-2015 that had zero ISIS involvement. Its all to justify them their budget to congress and east coast liberals. Both of whom are far more scared of the far right than the far left. The difference here is that there actually are plenty of actual white-nationalist terror plots to bust when there weren't many salafist ones.
it's also that they're the domestic wing of the federal security state. anyone who threatens the US government is on their shit list. doesn't make them much better at dealing with the fash but they are ideologically committed for the moment to take them down. that will change after a few more rounds of the right replacing their leadership but for the moment they'll keep entrapping the para-military orgs.
Describing cops doing their job as just justifying their budget has very similar energy to when politicians who are passing bills that provide material benefit to constituents as "buying votes".
Yeah, I didn't mean to convey that you're wrong that the cops (or fbi) perform their job to justify their budgets - that's their crumbs to funnel money to their pockets.
The other way around is what the libs describe a potentially useful government as doing (any government actually helping is buying votes).

I was describing the FBI not the cops. Cops probably did it because the FBI told them too.
