This interrogation really bothers me

I didn't find any data on who was asking the questions, but this got right under my skin. The questioner is leading a sheriff and trying to say that sheriffs are in the line of command under Krasnov. Sheriffs generally work for counties, and counties are regulated by states and have no connection to the executive branch. This is a clueless man questioning and uncertain sheriff. Correct me if I am mistaken, add clues if you have them, and feel free to name the jerk asking these questions. Feel free to silently scream like this made me do.

And - I'm not going to bother to watch this ...
But - it is a thing. And unfortunately a handful of right-winger nut jobs (and other conspiracy buffs and Posse Comitatus whacks) - and even more unfortunately, a smaller handful of actual LE (and sheriffs), have been actively buying in ... For a while. Exacerbated of course by the rise of the Patriot Front, Proud Boys, etc., etc.

Fairly easily looked up - if you're determined to dig down into their rabbit hole(s).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitutional_Sheriffs_and_Peace_Officers_Association#:~:text=In%202020%2C%20the%20group%20claimed,membership%20numbers%2C%20are%20closely%20held.
The Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA) is a political organization of local police officials in the United States who contend that federal and state government authorities are subordinate to the local authority of county sheriffs and police.


The CSPOA has claimed various membership numbers. In 2017, the association said it had 4,500 dues-paying members, with more than 200 sheriffs among them. In 2020, the group claimed a membership of 400. In 2021, Mack said that 300 of the 3,000 sheriffs in the U.S. were members of the association. However, no reliable numbers are available as, according to the Associated Press, details of the group's operations, including membership numbers, are closely held.

A sheriff has no authority outside his county unless the state gives him that right. A sheriff has no authority outside of his state. And the president has zero authority to give a county sheriff orders. Just like the president has zero authority to give you orders.

He is clearly one of those "constitutional Sheriff" nut cases. Did you not notice his uniform? That is the uniform of a cosplaying clown. Hell he didn't even know how many branches of government there are. A sheriff not knowing that? Now that's scary.
