The Hutaree are still in jail. The first release was stayed because of the totally unrelated shooting of the Detroit cop last week. and the second has been stayed because of a fight among feds over release conditions.
The feds say that GPS tracking usn’t sufficient and they want to take guns from people given 3rd party custodial supervision of the Hutaree.

I gave the feds the benefit of a doubt till I saw the evidence. The judge who ordered them released is a black female Clinton appointee and she basically destroyed the feds case in her 36 page opinion. The feds really don’t appear to have anything but a few million dollar bill to pay for a two year investigation and pseudo military raid.

The opinion in itself is pretty astounding when you realize that they were accused of doing little more than we at FR do all the time.

I had not heard that their release was stayed. Thanks for the information. I haven’t read completely through the judge’s opinion so thanks for posting that link, and the others as well. I too gave the Feds the benefit of the doubt until hearing (in an article) what the judge decided in regards to releasing them. It’s sickening when our Feds spend (waste) their time on these folks when there are Militant Islamic “armies” training here in the US and attempting to attack us! THAT is where they focus needs to be — not to mention the threats on our country involving the drug trafficking across the border of Mexico (esp. in Arizona). I would say this was a total misuse of tax dollars, and I wouldn’t doubt a political agenda behind it at all.
