Excerpt:
The FBI has launched a formal criminal investigation into the events surrounding last months standoff between the Bureau of Land Management and Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy.
Agents have been interviewing BLM agents and law-enforcement officers who had been onsite, focusing on charges Bundy supporters and militia members who joined them pointed weapons at the authorities and made threats on their lives, reports KLAS-TV, Las Vegas.
FBI agents have interviewed Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillispie, Assistant Sheriff Joe Lombardo and a squad of Metro police officers who served as a buffer between Bundy’s supporters and the BLM forces. A second squad is to be interviewed this week.
“The federal authorities are conducting an investigation and I am pretty confident it is going to go into the future,” said Lombardo, who was interviewed by the FBI earlier this week.
Asked if there would be consequences for somebody recorded on video tape or a news camera pointing a gun at a Metro officer or a federal ranger, Lombardo said yes.
“There is definitely going to be consequences, definitely. That is unacceptable behavior. If we let it go, it would continue into the future,” he said.
Sheriff Gillispie confirmed he was asked what he observed, but declined to give details.
KLAS reported earlier that Metro members claimed they had feared for their lives because of so many armed supporters standing with the Bundys, who had “pointed weapons at officers, taunted them, told them they should be ready to die.”
Metro wasn’t a buffer between anybody, They were up on I-15 directing traffic.
Sheriff Doug Gillispie told Bundy and his supporters the BLM was standing down. When Bundy went to retrieve his cattle, the BLM was waiting behind vehicles with weapons fixed on the protesters. The BLM withdrew after crapping in their shorts because their boss Daniel Love strategically placed them in a kill box.
Gillispie is a lying sidewinder in the pocket of Harry Reid and both should be criminally charged along with others for the attempted murder of the Bundy’s.
