Why wait for pretext if they wanted him? You're guessing he was already under surveillance. If "they" wanted him they would have grabbed him. There was a nationwide manhunt for him. "They" were desperate for any details. You're giving "them" too much credit. "They" clearly didn't have capability and capacity to find him without a rando calling in.
They wanted a pretext that wouldn't require them to expose their surveillance state apparatus in court.
Parallel construction
You would be extremely foolish to continue to underestimate those who are in power. “They’re all just dumb and weak! They couldn’t find him!”
Read up on Parallel Construction like that other chatter suggested.
