Arresting Jerry DeLemus for merely expressing an opinion that the US government and BLM were heavy handed & anti-rancher over western land use was an overreach of prosecutorial power.
Now the prosecution is taking him out of the area he lives, to another state 100s of miles away from family & friends to try him. This removal is unfair and done to place him in an area where the jury will be hostile to his plea for justice.
The key sentence in the article: "....afterwards he(Delemus) served as a gunman and midlevel organizer who joined in a conspiracy"
This is all on videotape on youtube. In the KLAS video interview of Delemus and Booda, Delemus had 100 men under his command and was in charge of the perimeter ouside the camp. He was the man that put the snipers on the hilltops and stopped cars travelling down the road.
In the video shot after Ryan Payne kicked the Oathkeepers out, Payne is flanked by Delemus and Booda and talks about discussing it with Delemus and Booda
All this implies that Delemus was at least "mid-level" in the military command structure. "Over a 100 men" is a Company Commander who could be ranked as low as a Captain but likely a Major, and possibly a Lt Col.
That's the problem for all of them. They all wanted to get on the camera a talk about being a big shot, and that is evidence the FBI will use against them
