I’m not. You need to get better at reading comprehension.

In common parlance, ‘running away from the feds’ or ‘ feds talking to each other on forums (eg on 4chan feds trolling feds is a meme)’, it refers to intelligence agencies. Not attorneys, statisticians, hr workers, secretaries that happen to work for the federal government

I mean, if we're talking about "feds trying to bait eavesdroppers," I'm pretty sure everyone would understand the implication is some kind of federal policing agent and not like someone who clerks for a house rep or something

Edit: but I guess that's not really what you were responding to, my bad
