FBI Agent Indicted for Obstruction of Justice in the Murder Of Lavoy Finicum

Background:

This whole sordid episode was a culmination of the government jackboots’ land and water grabs.   The government mafia really went all out to railroad, bully, terrorize, and strong arm citizens who own private land, because the Nazis at the Bureau of Land Management are power hungry autocrats.

An FBI agent has been indicted on federal accusations that he lied about firing at Robert “LaVoy” Finicum last year as police arrested the leaders of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge occupation.

The agent will face allegations of making a false statement with intent to obstruct justice, according to sources familiar with the case.

The indictment stems from a more than yearlong investigation by the inspector general of the U.S. Department of Justice. The agent will be identified when he’s summoned to appear in U.S. District Court in Portland at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Investigators said a member of the FBI’s elite Hostage Rescue Team fired at Finicum as his 2015 Dodge pickup truck crashed into a snow bank at a roadblock on U.S. 395. Finicum had just sped away from a surprise traffic stop on the rural highway as the occupation leaders traveled off the refuge to a community meeting Jan. 26, 2016.

The agent’s bullets didn’t hit Finicum, 54, an Arizona rancher who was the spokesman for the armed takeover of the federal sanctuary near Burns in Harney County. Moments later, state police troopers shot Finicum three times after he emerged from his white truck and reached for his inner jacket pocket, where police said he had a loaded 9mm handgun. One bullet pierced his heart, an autopsy found.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles Gorder Jr. revealed in court papers last June that a grand jury was reviewing the FBI actions. Gorder was explaining the government’s desire to keep its memorandum about the inspector general’s investigation out of the hands of defense lawyers representing other occupation leaders on federal conspiracy charges.

The FBI and state police had moved in on Ammon Bundy and other key figures as they were driving in two vehicles from the refuge to a meeting in John Day. Finicum initially stopped but then raced off from police, and less than a minute later swerved into the snow to avoid the roadblock set up by FBI and state police.

As Finicum left his truck, an FBI agent shot twice at Finicum, though none of the hostage team members admitted to discharging their firearms, the Deschutes County sheriff alleged. The county sheriff’s office was tasked with investigating the Finicum shooting.

……Finicium’s widow, Jeanette Finicum, has said she plans to sue Oregon State Police and the FBI for civil rights violations in her husband’s death. The suit will allege that state police and the FBI used excessive force in the confrontation that could have ended peacefully and that improper police procedures and lack of communication between state police and FBI agents at the scene contributed to his death, her lawyer said.

The Oregon State Police need to be indicted for murder.

More:

An FBI agent accused of lying about firing two shots at Oregon standoff spokesman Robert “LaVoy” Finicum faces a five-count indictment, charging him with three counts of making a false statement and two counts of obstruction of justice.

W. Joseph Astarita, 40, dressed in a dark pin-striped suit, made his first appearance on the indictment Wednesday in a packed federal courtroom, with heightened security inside and in the corridors of the Mark O. Hatfield Courthouse.

 

They pulled the same shit with rancher Clive Bundy, who stood up to the feds and won. The underlying motivation for the harassment against Bundy was criminal Harry Reid’s obsession with turning the land into a Chinese-funded solar energy farm.

This out-of-control federal government has gotten away with unconstitutional overreach for years. As  civil liberties and rights are increasingly trampled, expect more of this.

  1. Just one more of Obamations’s legacies. That man is pure evil with the only intent as “president” to take total control of this country, become a dictator, and attempt to establish a caliphate in the US for his muslim buddies. When he kissed the ring of the Saudi King, by Muslim Law, he was vowing his allegiance as well as this country to the nation of islam. If President Trump can withstand the onslaught of snowflakes and Obama supporters, hopefully he can peel back the layers of corruption and hopefully restore some of this country’s dignity that Obama tried to destroy.
