An Ozark, MO man says he had a peculiar visit this week. Clay Bowler says an FBI agent wanted to know about any confrontations with Representative Billy Long.
Bowler, a political blogger, would attend Long's campaign events during the summer and ask political questions, even following Long to his car, hoping for answers on different topics. Tuesday, Bowler recorded the interview with the FBI. On the recording, Greene County Sheriff Jim Arnott says Billy Long's staffers gave authorities Bowler's name.
Bowler understands after the shootings in Tucson the FBI is trying to be proactive in finding threats, but he says he shouldn't be on any lists, that he would never do anything violent to anyone. At the end of the recording, the FBI agent agreed that Bowler did not appear to be a personal threat to Long.
We made attempts to reach Representative Billy Long and members of his staff - as well as the FBI and Capitol Police. We can tell you, Capitol Police held a meeting with elected officials in Washington, D.C. today to talk about safety.
We're told the Greene County Sheriff was with the FBI agent in Ozark because their investigation initially said Bowler was living in Greene County.

NOTE: Billy Long is a Republican.
Thank you, Palladin.
Who knows....!
I’ve heard a couple of things (special election? governor appointing?), but don’t know for sure...
The doctors could manipulate almost to the minute when she would wake up (opening her left eye) by managing the sedation meds.
Yes, it was a setup.
Sorry, “best friend forever” or “best female friend.”
