FBI agents under investigation lying about firing at Finicum's truck.

Looked like they fired two shots at the truck as it sped toward the barricade. Pretty dumb thing to lie about (if they did), those were probably justifiable shots.

Looks like I was mistaken. The rounds fired by the FBI agent(s) were not fired when the truck was approaching the barricade. Three rounds were fired at the truck (and hit it, but no occupants) as it approached, but were fired by the OSP. The two rounds in question were apparently fired around the time Finicum got out of the truck, one of which struck the roof and one of which missed completely.

Still not sure why they lied, if they did. Maybe they were negligent discharges (possibly from an automatic weapon, accounting for two shots poorly aimed?), maybe the FBI guys didn't trust that the inquiry was led by the Deschuttes county sheriff instead of the Feds, maybe they were intentionally fired but the FBI agent(s) thought they would be difficult to articulate under the Garner standard. Or maybe there's an explanation I'm not seeing. There is no reason I can think of to hide the shots, it seems very unlikely they would have burned the agent(s) had they been properly disclosed. I can understand the motivation to panic and lie initially, but you'd think by the time you get to the HRT you're smarter than that. This extraneous bullshit will muddy the waters when they really are quite clear.

Also, superseding indictment for Malheur:

http://media.oregonlive.com/oregon-standoff/other/2016/03/09/SUPERSEDINGINDICT3916.pdf

Gun possession in federal facility (5 years) charges for most everybody already indicted, use of firearms charges during commission of a crime for what appear to primarily leadership and the last holdouts (7 year mandatory minimum on top of other sentence) and theft charges for vehicles, equipment, and destruction of artifacts for a relatively small number of them (10 years max).

Additionally one more defendant has been indicted but name is unknown.

No telling whether this is the only superseding indictment or if others will come.

Includes new charges for several people currently out on bail. Will be interesting to see if any of them don't come forward to face arraignment.

It replaces the original indictment, but it includes he original charge. So functionally it is just additional charges. Count 1 in the superseding indictment is the original charge.

A state trooper later described to investigators seeing two rifle casings in the area where the agents were posted. Detectives tasked with collecting evidence didn't find the casings, police reports indicate.

FBI aerial surveillance video shows that before the detectives could get there, the FBI agents searched the area with flashlights and then huddled, according to law enforcement sources who have seen the video. The group then broke and one agent appeared to bend over twice and pick up something near where the two shots likely were taken, the sources told The Oregonian/OregonLive.

The legislation I linked to is federal, introduced by utah's four congressional representatives.

It's not against the law to propose terrible bad legislation, they're just assholes for doing it. I didn't mean to imply they're criminals, just assholes.

The only legislators that could potentially face criminal liability over any of those are ones who directly participated in the standoffs, like Fiore camping out at the Bundy ranch for a week in 2014 or Matt Shea acting as their representative at Malheur. Their actions are what they would be charged for, not any legislative thing they did. For what it's worth I think it is really unlikely any elected official gets charged with anything. The boundary between a politician advocating policy and being a participant in a crime is fuzzy, especially when their participation was primarily talking not gunslinging. It would just make an already complex (but overwhelming) case messier than it needs to be.

I don't thin you can prosecute someone for what they said on the floor of Congress once they leave Congress. That would completely undermine the speech and debate clause; it is intended to give Congress the latitude to do business without fear of reprisal by the branch of government with the guns. Expelling the member would just mean they aren't in Congress any more. For instance, it was not an option for the administration to arrest Mike Gravel the day after he left office for reading the Pentagon Papers into the record.

When we quoted him our cost he flipped his poo poo.

On the other side, only have 40TB of global network storage as a federal agency is a travesty, but I am not the least bit surprised based on what I've seen working for the government.

Do BLM employees even carry guns? Aren't they basically park rangers?

All federal land management agencies have both armed commissioned law enforcement officers and unarmed staff. In some agencies people with the job title "park ranger" are fully fully commissioned federal law enforcement officers. Other park rangers are unarmed and not law enforcement. Same uniform, different badges, different job responsibilities.

At Bundy Ranch there were both unarmed non law enforcement staff and armed law enforcement Rangers. For instance that video of Ammon Bundy getting tased was law enforcement Rangers. "Park ranger" is a really broad term and can refer to anything from a guy giving an evening program to a SWAT (we call them SETT) officer.

I've never actually been to the pacific northwest but I assume there's probably some kind of dangerous animal that you'd probably want someone to have a gun to deal with in case the bear spray didn't work and you're staring down an angry mountain lion bear shark or whatever, miles from anyone. Hell I think park rangers have a better argument for carrying guns than patrol cops.

Dept. of Interior employees operating in brown bear country carry Remington 870 shotguns when in the backcountry, whether law enforcement or not. By "carry" I mean they have a shotgun somewhere in the group's equipment.

I believe the ultimate origin of the focus on admiralty law is that way back in the colonial days, the British actually did what sovcits are saying the modern government is doing. Admiralty courts do not have juries, and by the time the colonies were getting a little antsy, the British started using admiralty jurisdiction to prosecute colonists because it allowed them to avoid jury nullification. If I am not mistaken that is the origin of the reference to deprivation of the right to juries in the list of grievances in the declaration of independence.

Not sure what specific scrap of a statute they cite though.

Marbury v . Madison is a crock, there are no courts, no laws, only the tenth amendment and we the people:

http://arnoldlawfirm.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/motion-to-dismiss-medenbach.pdf

The truck thief's motion to reconsider denial of his earlier motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. In a nutshell, Marbury was wrongly decided because the oath the justices took was invalid (HUGE SURPRISE), ergo there is no judicial review.

And of course, he cites to the ninth circuit owning him in the past:

quote:


Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) on Thursday renewed his calls to make a national monument out of Gold Butte, the site of the 2014 Bundy Ranch standoff in Nevada where Cliven Bundy had illegally grazed his cattle for decades.

Reid announced on the floor that he plans to ask President Barack Obama to use his authority granted under the Antiquities Act to protect that land. The minority leader argued the protection could come at a fortuitous time, as several members of the Bundy family are jailed for their roles in both the 2014 standoff and the takeover of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge earlier this year in rural Oregon. Family patriarch Cliven Bundy is also being held in Nevada on assault and federal conspiracy charges tracing back to the 2014 standoff near his family's ranch.

"Because of trouble caused by the Bundys and their pals, the federal employees tasked with safely guarding these antiquities were prevented from doing their jobs," Reid said on the floor. "It was about 19 of them that have been indicted. Most of them are still in jail where they belong...[workers] have been under constant physical and mental threat for doing what the American people asked them to do."

The national monument Reid is asking for would stretch roughly 100 miles, beyond the site of the 2014 standoff. The land is currently jointly managed by Clark County and the Bureau of Land Management. Grazing is not legal on the land, and if the land is granted monument status it still won't be legal to graze there.

Reid had introduced legislation in the past to protect Gold Butte, as The Las Vegas Sun chronicled, but it faces long odds in a Republican-controlled Congress. Reid has since turned to asking the President to deem the area a national monument.

That lawyer has a public Facebook page and it's great, because one post will be, "Welp, did some work on my tractor today" that maybe 1-2 family members respond to and then it will be, "Latest update on the Ammon case" with shitloads of crazies and a few legit looking lawyers commenting. This is all on the page for his practice, not his personal.

Anyway here's more info on why the lawyer was kicked out. Apparently he promised Ammon that he would go to Nevada and NEVER leave the court room. While he was there he got a call from the court demanding something be filed that day, and he chose to conduct his business over the phone there in the court room. He copies the order at the bottom of the post, hopefully someone with law experience can explain what's going on.

I guess it's great that he's supporting his client. I ain't no fancy city lawyer, but shouldn't your lawyer try to stay in the state where he's allowed to practice and in reach of the court where he's representing you? I figure that's how a lawyer is best able to support you.
