"I decided to go after I saw videos of the BLM using their heavy handed techniques of slamming a woman to the ground, whom I found out was Cliven Bundy's 60 year old sister...the tasing of Ammon Bundy and the assault of Davey Bundy by throwing him to the ground grinding his face in the dirt. I knew it was my Constitutional duty to come to the aid of my neighbor and stand with them against a tyrannical overreaching government..."
Greg Burleson statement from prison
My Friends, we cannot leave this man in prison"
Ammon Bundy Facebook Video 8/16/2018
He was a one time FBI informant but when Greg Burleson saw federal law enforcement attacking Cliven Bundy's sister Margaret Houston and his sons Dave Bundy and Ammon Bundy in videos posted online Burleson knew what his Constitutional duty was.
He went to Bundy Ranch in Nevada to exercise his First and Second Amendment rights in defense of the Bundy's.
Burleson was indicted by the federal government and tried in the first Bunkerville Standoff trial facing a massive amount of felony charges including assault on a federal officer even though no shots were fired nor were there any attacks on federal officers during the April 12, 2014 standoff.
Evidence proving his innocence including the presence of federal government snipers in the area was hidden by federal prosecutors during his trial and would not be revealed until the third trial later in 2017.
After his conviction on eight felonies, Burleson was sentenced on July 27th, 2017 to 68 years and three months in prison, a virtual life sentence.
On Thursday (August 16th) Ammon Bundy posted a video reading Greg Burleson's message from prison and appealed on his behalf.
He is not at Allenwood Federal Prison in Pennsylvania. His health has deteriorated....

Trump needs to free him.
We mention Burleson in this article but there are two others in a similar state including Todd Engel and Jerry Delemus.
Delemus met Donald J. Trump because he was co-chair of the New Hampshire Veterans Coalition for Trump in New Hampshire during the 2016 primary.
Bttt.

I expect someone from Trump’s group does read Free Republic. Perhaps our support to free this man will be made apparent to Trump. What happened to him is absolutely evil and he should be freed.
It seems the FBI can invent any scenario they want and will be believed. Isn’t there something basically wrong with that? And why do we have an FBI anyway? After the dogmatch they’ve made of Trump history, it is time to shut it down. They all need to go to prison unless they have proof they didn’t lie, cheat and steal for Mueller.
Thanks for the update buddy, this sucks.
