Big Brother in Portland

A police state in the USA? The FBI was caught with its hand in the cookie-jar today when it tried to recruit a mid-level city employee to report on the activities of city councilmen, other employees etc. When questioned, the FBI admitted that it had no ongoing investigation into illegal activity on the part of the city government of Portland, Oregon. Could the fact that Oregon, and especially the Portland metropolitan area is Blue have anything to do with this?
