They didn't, in mere reality. They were the rebels the romans were putting down. Those rebels, however, believed that there was a fifth column in their midst. That's one of the stories that historicists don't think washes out. The madman turning the tables would have been brutalized on the spot - it;s just as much of a miracle as walking on water or turning it into wine.
- but the story expresses their opposition to the specter of complicity while establishing christ as an authority over and above the same. For what it's worth, the romans did tend to install puppet regimes sourced from the locals when they set up shop. None of this would survive protochristianity as objectionable, as it was quickly romanized.
