Subject: Harney County PIOs - Sunday, January 3, 2016
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- I spoke with Nate Thompson, Clackamas Co. SO PIO, who will call Lt. Needham. Nate is going to request Virtual Operations Support Team (VOST) assistance to monitor media reporting. This was very helpful at the UCC shooting. He is also going to grab relevant social media accounts for use by HCSO to keep the refuge folks from grabbing them. (Nate can likely come tomorrow to help)
- I have requested FBIHQ set up a media email account for media to have one-stop shopping for requests through the JIC. Beyond that, Lt. Needham or I will figure out a one-stop shopping phone line that can be monitored from the JIC

The FBI had comms and VOST control of all information going in and out of the compound, and at least 2 undercover contractors engaged in wet work inside the compound. They kne exactly what was being said and planned. And they knew exactly what ALL OF US were seeing and hearing from the compound as well because this man
...and he was the last and only one broadcasting from within the compound, was in the truck behind Lavoy's at the first stop, and was the only man not arrested in both vehicles that left the compound.
....and was the first on the internet to say that LaVoy charged the cops and was shot.
