Regarding the guilty verdict for impeding a federal officer someone asked if the Refuge was closed for the winter. Thom Davis testified in the trial it was closed. A Lifelong Burns, Oregon resident wrote this:
Kim Fritz From the way I understood it the Refuge manager closed MWR prior to the rally due to rumors, however I also heard testimony that " they don't go down there in Winter"...
My thoughts are with as brutal a storm that came through the workers would have stayed home regardless.

How can you impede someone from working at a location when it is 'Closed for the Winter'?
Re: 150 Militia Take Over Makhuer National Wildlife Preserve Headquarters
My impression from kelli's testimony is the Lieyers for the defense were bought off, to make sure the scumbag feds got their pound of flesh.
We live in a very sick society, one where scum rises to the top.

Vickey Gray The U.S. Attorney's needed Mr. Mumford out of the way or unable to communicate with the 2nd trial. If the people could have had a real defense attorney not "connected" to the Oregon federal district, a fair trial would have occurred.

Re: 150 Militia Take Over Makhuer National Wildlife Preserve Headquarters
Bj Soper was visited by an FBI agent to instruct him how to testify in the Malhuer Trial. This is the letter to the DA. The agent entered his property, passed the No Tresspasing signs after Soper had told him on the telephone he had no intention of speaking with him.
Soper's landlady, in the comments, she will be happy to file a complaint. Soper probably has other options since his sheriff refuses to work with him.
There is no end to the corruption in this communist infested government.

Still looking for some accountability from law enforcement... they want respect? Act respectfully.. my letter to my DA on the actions of the local FBI and inaction of my sheriff.
Mr. Hummel,
I write you today out of frustration. On march 2nd of this year, FBI agent Chad Lapp willfully and intentionally violated my demands to not trespass on my property. He walked passed a closed gate and 3 posted no trespassing signs "to leave a card" at my door. This is the abbreviated version of events of the day, and I would be happy to go into further detail.
I have contacted the sheriff who refuses to accept a complaint on the issue but rather chooses to "pass it on to the supervisor" as he stated. To date the supervisor has ignored and nothing has been done to address my complaint. I expressed my displeasure to the sheriff on the action taken and he has since ignored my attempts to communicate.
Here is why I intend to pursue what may seem little to you, but is not to me.
1. The request to talk to me was to discuss the malheur court proceeding and testimony given that I was named in. I had already told agent Lapp I had no intentions of talking to him. Yet he proceeds to trespass on my property anyway.
2. Agent Lapp told me that "the court can compel me to talk", and that if I talked to him first, he could tell me the questions that will be asked so that I can be prepared to answer". Sir, since when is it the job of the FBI to help prosecutors and the court? This was and is tampering with a witness and coercion.
3. I have a trail cam that I set up the day prior to the trespass to photo entry on my property. It just so happens the memory card was missing the same day agent Lapp violated my rights.
4. My driveway is roughly 150 yards long. I have a secondary perimeter fence around my home and a covered patio that agent Lapp felt the need to walk through. Not only did he "leave a card" at the front door, he walked around to the back door and did the same. He willfully searched my property without warrant. Sir I leave my doors unlocked at my home. I live in a safe place. For all I know he could have gone inside and looked around. I mean he walked past a closed gate, 3 no trespassing signs, 150 yards of driveway, why would an unlocked door stop him?
Sir, my issue is more than my privacy and 4th amendment being violated. If I were to do the same thing as agent Lapp, I would be cited if the owner pressed forward. There would be no "supervisor" to pass the buck onto. Agent Lapp is not special and is expected to follow the law just as any other citizen. And I also expect my sheriff to act accordingly when a citizen he is elected to serve requests action to be taken.
Sir, I thank you for your time and await your reply.
Sincerely
Bj Soper

Dear president Trump,
I personally am a newly convicted felon under your administration. My crime, standing up to raise awareness of the grievous, unethical, overbearing, tyrannicaly terroristic treatment of the Hammond family of Oregon, namely Dwight Hammond.
Due to my efforts and the efforts of others I realize you are fully aware of this families current situation and yet you have said and done exactly nothing about it.
This is what I have come to expect from government and contributes directly to the events that transpired.
What are you waiting for? Will you say or do anything for Dwight Hammond?
I watch as you you berated the "fake news" as it pertains to you personally. Meanwhile under your administration I've obtained a felony based on "fake charges" fed by "fake news" for the soul purpose only to bring to YOU and YOUR administration's understanding (and anyone else who has ears) the atrocities that happened to the Hammonds.
Because of my efforts you are now fully aware. Yet, you've done nothing for them. For this I am sickened.
BE DIFFERENT! DO SOMETHING! Do it now. Dwight Hammond should be home with his wife and family.
Trump administration felon,
Jason Patrick

Of course the law enforcement community will spin the narrative for the feds. They know who butters their bread.
Contrary to what the media spin and the LEO testimony says, Wayne Hage told my brother and me he went down to Bunkerville fully expecting to see rifles and pistols and an aggressive militia. He said he was very surprised that the were very professional an did not allow any wild behavior.

The Nevada Independent - Metro comes through once more for federal officers in Bundy ranch standoff
March 12, 2017
Metro’s finest again provided timely backup for embattled Bureau of Land Management officers.
This time they weren’t outside Bunkerville defending a desert wash packed with rowdy protesters and impounded cattle. They were in U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro’s courtroom testifying about the tense atmosphere and imminent danger present during an April 12, 2014 standoff between supporters of Bunkerville rancher Cliven Bundy and federal law enforcement trying to protect a BLM roundup.
Although no shots were fired that day, federal officers previously testified that alarming investigative intelligence, combined with the guns present in the agitated crowd and para-military dress of some of the protesters, made them afraid for their safety. Six defendants the government describes as Bundy’s gunmen are on trial accused of threatening and intimidating BLM and U.S. Parks Service law enforcement officers.
In recent weeks, on cross examination,the defense has managed to portray the federal cops as inexperienced wannabes who lacked judgment and overreacted under stress. After the decision was made to discontinue the roundup, some of BLM rangers and Park police initially refused orders to put away their weapons, stand down and pack up. Some of their responses under oath made them appear more fearful than professional.
But the defense this past week had little success with Metro Sgt. Tom Jenkins and none at all with Sheriff Joseph Lombardo.
Jenkins brought more than two decades of law enforcement experience into court. He’s worked many protests, a few of which have turned violent. Attorneys could doubt his memory of the day’s events, but there was no questioning his resume.
Jenkins’ day on April 12 began as a member of an escort unit whose duty was to provide security for Sheriff Doug Gillespie. The sergeant wound up supervising the riot skirmish line police threw out in an effort to keep the protest from degrading into violence.
He noted the weapons present in the crowd, but his concern really grew when they begin being waved around and pointed in the direction of law enforcement. If you want to get a cop’s attention, just wave a gun at him.
“From the time we got there until the time we left,” Jenkins replied when asked how often protesters flashed their handguns and rifles Metro’s way.
And although lengthy recorded exhibits didn’t always concur with the sergeant’s memory of the subject, he was unflappable on the stand under incisive cross examination. When asked to elaborate on those who were doing the pointing, Jenkins reduced his description to “White males, pointing weapons at the convoy.”
And he appeared to set the defense team on its heels when he allowed that not only were his officers concerned for their safety, “They were scared. They were crying.”
He also said the officers wanted to retrieve their semi-automatic rifles from nearby police vehicles and don their flak vests, but were instructed not to by Assistant Sheriff Tom Roberts in an effort to keep from escalating tensions as the crowd grew and got louder. Testimony notwithstanding, video presented during the trial shows most of the protesters were unarmed.
But of course those weren’t the people police were watching.
When Lombardo’s took the stand Thursday, he reminded those who have followed his career that the public needn’t worry about his leadership skills. An assistant sheriff at the time of the standoff, Lombardo accompanied Sheriff Doug Gillespie to Bundy’s makeshift stage outside his ranch in an attempt to cool the heated rhetoric and avoid bloodshed. He stood patiently during Bundy’s windy grandstanding and impossible demands — disarm all federal law enforcement and bulldoze the entrance booths at the region’s federal conservation and recreation areas — and then returned to Las Vegas believing the botched cattle roundup was reaching a peaceful resolution.
For the first time jurors saw video of the elder Bundy holding forth with armed, uniformed members of the Arizona State Militia, who call themselves the “Praetorian Guard,” standing guard. Dozens of his hundreds of followers were armed with handguns and rifles.
When Bundy instructed his followers to go get his cattle, Lombardo’s day grew complicated and dangerous. He attempted to negotiate with one of Bundy’s sons, Dave Bundy, in a plea for patience and enough time to allow the BLM to make a safe exit.
It was Lombardo, jurors learned, who essentially put his career on the line to overrule BLM Supervisory Special Agent Dan Love and press for the release of the impounded cattle during the height of the armed standoff’s tensions.
“He advised me they were federal cattle and it was his decision,” Lombardo said.
Fortunately, Lombardo prevailed.
The sheriff estimated it would have taken 500 officers to fully secure the area, and he had just 50. Concerned that even an accidental discharge of a firearm would set off a shootout, Lombardo and his troops worked to de-escalate the scene and back federal law enforcement away from a gate that had become the last point of separation between increasingly agitated protesters and the officials sent to round up and remove Bundy’s trespassing cattle from federal public lands.
A cop since 1988, Lombardo made it clear he feared for the safety of the officers and protesters in the highly charged atmosphere. They don’t call in the SWAT team for traffic tickets.
Led in the courtroom by Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven Myhre, the prosecution appears to be finishing the long process of entering most of the voluminous photographic, video and audio into the record. The foundation of its case appears set.
The testimony of Jenkins and Lombardo was bound to hit home with jurors.
Bring guns to a peaceful protest, and you’re bound to get everyone’s attention.
