According to an unsealed affidavit filed in federal court, the pair have been posing as high-level DHS agents for more than two years, flashing official-looking IDs, carrying Glocks and driving black SUVs with emergency lights while living out of several luxury units at the Crossings and “ingratiating” themselves with federal law enforcement and defense officials, some of whom they lured to live in the same building.
 
Who was backing this with the needed funds?

Not much monetary gain in this



Someone was backing these fools

Yes, Postal Inspectors are very real police... But they do not enforce impersonating police laws. If the Secret Service easily caught a mail fraud case that Postal Inspectors had completely missed even though it was right under their nose, I would say that too was embarrassing.

A Postal Inspector spoke to these two for a few minutes about a car accident, and realize they were not police... Meanwhile the Secret Service spent months in close contact with them on law enforcement issues, and did not realize they were faking it?

At best it is embarrassing.
