The investigation’s report, made by BLM Special Agent Larry Wooten and addressed to the Department of Justice, was publicized last week after Washington state Rep. Matt Shea posted it on his Facebook page, according to The Wall Street Journal.Story here.
Wooten’s 18-page report discussed some of what he witnessed during his three-year investigation, such as a BLM agent’s “kill list” featuring people who had committed suicide while under investigation by the agency, BLM agents and officials referring to the Bundys as “retards” and “douche bags,” agents bragging about “grinding” a Bundy family member’s face into gravel, and lead prosecutor and Nevada’s acting U.S. Attorney Steve Myhre’s “preferred ignorance” of investigation details that would benefit the Bundys’ defense case.
Former Special Agent Dan Love, who was in charge of impounding Cliven Bundy’s cattle in 2014, conducted “the most intrusive, oppressive, large scale and militaristic trespass cattle impound possible” against Bundy’s ranch against the direction of the U.S. attorney’s office, according to Wooten. The Bundys’ defense strategy accuses the BLM of using overly-aggressive and threatening tactics.
I am stunned.
When this kicked off I thought that we saw a bunch of reactionaries running to deal with a non-issue. For more than a minute I bought into the meme being pushed by the media.
I didn't know this though.
Poor, simple Cliven Bundy....unable to communicate in the way favored by the modern media...relying on fellow citizens to defend his lively hood had a point.
He got targeted and its obvious that for some reason the govt decided to make an example of him (or should I say elements of the govt?).
Bundy called Bureau Of Land Management Agents thugs and the internal report seems to prove him right.
Just plain wow.
