As someone else mentioned, he was suspected of being an undercover federal agent of some kind. Very little of that actually made it into the show. Basically the only line I can actually remember in the show that alludes to this is when Cohle is being interviewed by the two black detectives and telling them about his time being undercover, and then asking to be put into homicide. He says something like, "That's where the fed rumors first came in" AKA, due to him just being planted into homicide in Louisiana seemingly from nowhere, he was suspicious (and his aloof demeanor didn't help I'm sure).
However, the evidence for this is in the screenplay for Episode 1. Look at page 23 of this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwPsOUEDLfXPUFFOYmZQaXNUMzg/edit
I'll copy and paste the most relevant part below. BTW this is Quesada

Rust. Do something. See if you can guess why the ASA wanted to meet you. Why are we talking?
Cohle looks between the two men, studying their expressions--
COHLE
In general I’m not trusted, because I moved in under the aegis of former Superintendent Willey, and at the behest of the DEA. Maybe you got word about Northshore. I don’t know. Half the guys think I haven’t earned the shield- which is bullshit, by the way. Check my record with robbery.
A beat, as the two bosses are impressed by the precision of his analysis. Rust seems vaguely angered--
COHLE (CONT’D)
Beyond that, the department’s concerned that I may have been inserted as part of an outside investigation. Into what, who knows? But given that the ASA is here, State Attorney Laughlin could be worried about something. So, if Willey’s out, and at three months I’m still here, it’s time to ask your questions.
QUESADA
See there, Len? I told you.
SALTER
Alright, then, detective. Given your considerable ability to ascertain a situation, let’s be frank. Why are you here?
COHLE
I want to work murders. That’s it. I had to get out of Louisiana. Special Agent Willis Bokum owed me a favor. More than one. I asked for something like this. This is what he offered.
So yeah, they suspected Cohle of being undercover, but it got cut from the show other than Cohle mentioning it once in the 2012 interviews and the rat comment you mention.
Whoo. I've watched S1 too much :D
Edit: Btw I really like your username
