A Deeper Look at Cliven Bundy's Criminal Indictment

Bill Morlin
February 22, 2016

... it appears the government’s decision to finally bring a litany of criminal charges against Cliven Bundy and the four others is heightening the level of fear and paranoia in antigovernment and militia circles, particularly for those estimated 400 individuals who participated in the April 2014 stand off with federal agents at Bundy’s ranch ...

... Victoria Sharp, a young woman who was in a truck driven by Malheur occupier Robert LaVoy Finicum before he was shot and killed on Jan. 26 at a police roadblock near the Oregon refuge, also mentions fears of arrest circulating in the Patriot circles ...

... Quietly, over the last 22 months, FBI agents have collected “hundreds of thousands of pieces of evidence” from 40 search warrants, combing social media, including Facebook and YouTube, reviewing and analyzing telephone records and monitoring web sites of “domestic extremists” who supported the Bundy cause.

The Justice Department took the wraps off its criminal investigation when Cliven Bundy left his Nevada ranch for Oregon. He was arrested by an FBI SWAT team at the Portland airport, before he could hook up with one of many armed militia groups that have provided him bodyguard service.

before they start blaming state rep or senator or whatever. Hell I'll start the conspiracy right here right now. Firones (SP) should be kicked out of the "I hate America" group for setting up Cliven to be arrested. Hell she may be an informant for the feds. If I were her I would keep a very low profile.
