And even if the operation was up and up he wasn't in his jurisdiction. Shit, he wasn't even in his state.
The investigation was in LA, the biker gang was in TX.
Harping on the details reminds me. When the tension rachets up in this show, I lose all perspective on what the goals are, who the good and bad guys are, what needs to be accomplished, etc., and it feels like a purposeful aim of the directors/writers, to make things so hectic that you are so in the moment that you get that 'fog of war' that must be going through MM's and WH's character's heads at that moment.
You have to sit down after viewing and so 'what? why? Ok, so . . . . wait.'
It's an engrossing aspect of the direction of the show.
