'I will not back down': Rep. Matt Shea, accused of 'domestic terrorism,' refuses to resign
KREM ^ | December 20, 2019 | Kaitlin Riordan, Ian Smay, Casey Decker

The House Republican Caucus has expelled Matt Shea after an investigation revealed that he "participated in an act of domestic terrorism against the United States."

Shea represents Washington’s 4th District, which encapsulates the area surrounding Spokane Valley. He has since taken to social media to call the investigation a "sham."

On Facebook he wrote:

"Like we are seeing with our President this is a sham investigation meant to silence those of us who stand up against attempts to disarm and destroy our great country. I will not back down, I will not give in, I will not resign. Stand strong fellow Patriots. Thank you to everyone for the massive outpouring of support prayers! I will continue to defend the constitution against tyranny and fight to protect our God given unalienable rights to life, liberty, property, and the ability to defend the same."

Washington House Minority Leader J.T. Wilcox announced the move on Twitter on Thursday night, saying Shea can no longer use House Republican staff or meet with the caucus and his office has been moved.

The investigation has now been passed to the FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office.

The 108-page investigation found that Shea “participated in an act of domestic terrorism against the United States” by helping plan the armed takeover of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge in Oregon in 2016, the website reported.

According to the investigation, Shea played a key role in two other armed conflicts against the U.S. government. The report said Shea helped plan the occupations by doing things like recruiting armed militia members.

The other occupations were the "2014 Armed Standoff against the US Government in Bunkerville, Nevada" and the "2015 Priest River Armed Conflict" in Bonner County.

Sounds like another case of railroading of a republic supporter.

The kettle is boiling

Resisting the Kenyanesyan usurpation is now “domestic terrorism.” Got it.

Meanwhile the fascists that run the FBI, CIA, NSA, IRS, State Dept., etc. get away scot-free.

The Democrats are out to destroy such patriots and they appear to be well on their way to destroy Shea.

But it is refreshing to see that Shea is standing up against these Democrats.

Maybe he should come to Virginia as an adviser in the struggle to come.

After an exhaustive 3 minutes worth of investigation I can say I don't believe a word of this accusation against Shea.

Leftists at it again. We simply can't believe any government accusation of wrongdoing of any republican or anyone of right leaning political beliefs. Our leftist controlled bureaucracy is targeting and prosecuting their political enemies with fake crimes.

Bottom Line.

But then, we gave it up a long time ago for the comfort of Fedzilla.

So, this guy is an enemy of the people? His detractors need to wake up. This current government is the enemy of the people!

How is this any different in what Dimocrats do when they plan and participate in violent ANTIFA physical assaults against US citizens in the streets of America nearly every weekend in some part of the country and LEO turns a blind eye to? And many other forms of attacking Americas integrity and security by the whacked out leftists of the Demon party?! Seems the Pubbies are still fond of letting the world know that manny of them still have jello for backbones like they’ve done for so many years now. Trump still has much work to do to reshape the Republican Party.

Funny this rule isn’t applied to Dems who support Antifa’s violent attacks on ICE facilities and personnel.

I caught that too, plain as day.

But if this Caucus is controlled by the deep state RINO’s mingled with a few spinless middle-of-the-roaders, then stating “Democrats are out to destroy - -” is not too far fetched.

I’m starting to agree with him. After all, the Speaker of the House is leading a Coup and the Democrats are applauding her.
