The Ohio 82 bridge as it crosses the Cuyahoga River in Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Brecksville.
The FBI arrested five men this week in connection with a plot to blow up the bridge today for May Day protests.

Occupy Cleveland movement... is not under federal investigation.

What? Why the hell isn't it?

Obama's FBI knows that all five arrested in this domestic bombing conspiracy were members of the same leftwing political organization. So, on the day of the arrests, they announce that that same organization will not be investigated!

Nothing fishy there. They still investigating Brietbart?

When I was in college, I had a professor who was considered something of a radical. I remember he once mentioned that he would sometimes by followed by the KKK, but then they would be followed by the FBI. Sort of a little parade.

I later read that there were actually more FBI agents investigating the Klan than there were members of the Klan. I suspect they were investigating groups but I must be wrong.

I remember once that an entire operation by some rightwing group had been conducted by FBI informants. There were so many of them that some did not know what the others were doing.

Well, it could be true. But it could equally be disinformation if they really are looking into the group.

"..Let me be clear, the FBI and Department of Justice are not conducting an investigation of any specific group,.." Back in Hoover's day when Russia and other communist countries were exerting their influence throughout the free world, the FBI investigated groups and individuals and had great success. They did not blabbermouth to all the world who was being investigated and who was not. They had some of their greatest success from infiltrating subversive organizations. Obviously they are in need of tightening up their ship and going into the archives to pick some old but still usable methods and techniques.

Occupy violence is flaring up all over the country but those dang TEA Partiers are the domestic terrorists

“We do not investigate movements or groups, we investigate individuals.”

It’s hard to fix stupid!

Working for the FBI nowadays must be like the fictional inspector character Arkady Renko, in the novels by Martin Cruz Smith.
A good man in a corrupt, political situation.
No I don’t know why the “don’t blow the whistle” if they are “good men”.

[Clara Lou]

Ah, the FBI and the JustUs department. Obama’s toilet paper.

[Right Wing Assault]

I sure hope the dem dickwads who run Cleveland coddle these occupy losers and let them camp and sleep in the Public Square this year. Just clear them out and keep them out.

Route 82 is a major road and there would have been deaths had they managed to blow this bridge. I hope they charge these a-holes with attempted murder and put them away forever.

Kind of crucify them, to use an EPA analogy.

...but had purchased the inert devices from undercover FBI agents, officials said.

Freeloaders aren't very bright.

“There is no credible evidence so far that this attack was more than at least one person, the driver,” said Mayor Mike Bloomberg. “After that there is no evidence that anyone else was involved. It may be, but we can’t say that it is.”…

“If I had to guess, twenty five cents, this would be exactly that,” Bloomberg said. “Homegrown maybe a mentally deranged person or someone with a political agenda that doesn’t like the health care bill or something. It could be anything.”

"Let me be clear, the FBI and Department of Justice are not conducting an investigation of any specific group," said Steven M. Dettelbach

Sounds like an Obama appointee. Can anyone in government or the media go a day without using that phrase?

Hell they were probably Federally funded, Bela Pelosi probably buried it in her Stationary budget.
