HAMILTON COUNTY, FLORIDA – Robert “Bob” Burton was arrested Sunday afternoon and charged with recording a telephone conversation with Ryan Tyson, the former Chief of Staff of Florida Senator Charlie Dean. During this conversation, Tyson allegedly admitted that state agencies were engaged in illegal activities. Burton later posted this recorded conversation on YouTube as evidence of corruption.

Within days of this recording being published, Burton’s home was raided, and his computer and other electronic equipment were seized by the FDLE. YouTube deleted Burton’s video under orders from a Florida judge. At roughly the same time, Tyson’s employment with Senator Dean’s office was terminated.

Burton is currently being held on $50,000 bond at the Hamilton County jail. The 1787 Network is investigating this developing story, and we will have more information as it becomes available.

During this conversation, Tyson allegedly admitted that state agencies were engaged in illegal activities.

Why would he be surprised at being arrested? He already had been informed state agencies engage in illegal activities.

You make a good point, I didn't think of that.

Hmmm........

From the previous story1787network.com/2011/01/breaking-news-whistleblowers-home-raided-by-armed-fdle-agents/ (http://1787network.com/2011/01/breaking-news-whistleblowers-home-raided-by-armed-fdle-agents/)

Burton’s crusade against the Florida Department of Environmental Protection began years ago. His investigation has led him to believe that this corruption is part of a wider, perhaps more sinister plan.

According to Burton, many of the state’s illegal activities may be an effort to fulfill a United Nations plan known as Agenda 21.

Would explain why they went after him so hard, yet have not charged him with a crime.
