An FBI agent has been indicted on federal accusations he lied about firing at Robert "LaVoy" Finicum last year.....

The agent will face allegations of making a false statement with intent to obstruct justice, according to sources familiar with the case.

The indictment stems from a more than year-long investigation by the inspector general of the U.S. Department of Justice. The agent will be identified when he's summoned to appear in U.S. District Court in Portland at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday......

Finicum's widow, Jeanette Finicum, has said she plans to sue Oregon State Police and the FBI for civil rights violations in her husband's death. The suit will allege that state police and the FBI used excessive force......

The Oregon investigators concluded that one agent fired at Finicum's truck, hitting it in the roof and missing the second shot.

>OKC was not revenge by anyone on the conservative or patriotic side of the aisle.

I didn’t say that it was. We don’t murder children and that’s exactly what McVeigh set out to do. Nor were conservatives allied with white supremacists like Randy Weaver(Ruby Ridge) or sick cults like the Branch Davidians.

That doesn’t change the fact the motivation of the people behind the bombing was retaliation against an FBI that was murdering people at will for the Clintons.

Again, I encourage everyone to look up the Trentadue case, the legal action to get FOIA enforced etc, to get a better idea of what happened at OKC on that day. In researching the issue, it sure looks that a significant number of the white natl leadership are on a govt payroll.
