What's so hard to understand? They were a Roman administrative body.
When did I deny that?
I'm aware that they were an administrative body; I admitted as much - however Jesus as a preacher was more appealing to the poor, his version of Judaism was more radical and thus a threat to the reactionary priests. This wasn't really within Roman interests unless the Priests made it so.
