FBI agents arrested Jerry DeLemus, co-chair of Veterans for Trump in New Hampshire, on Thursday following his indictment in connection with the 2014 Bundy Ranch standoff in Nevada, the New Hampshire Union Leader reported.
Federal charges against DeLemus included "conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States, threatening a federal law enforcement officer, attempting to impede or injure a federal law enforcement officer and several firearms charges," the newspaper reported.
Susan DeLemus, a state representative and fellow supporter of Donald Trump's presidential campaign, confirmed her husband's arrest to the newspaper. Trump announced that he was forming Veterans for Trump in July and named DeLemus among the co-chairs.
The standoff in Nevada two years ago came after federal officials said Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy allowed his cattle to graze on federal land for decades without paying grazing fees. Bundy invited hundreds of followers, many of them armed, to his ranch to push back against federal officers who were impounding his cattle.
The event resurfaced in headlines this year when Bundy's sons, Ammon and Ryan Bundy, organized a standoff of their own at a federal wildlife refuge in rural Oregon. DeLemus traveled to Oregon to visit their occupation and called their cause "peaceful" and "constitutionally just.

Some skilled FReeper needs to ‘shop Midge, Milt, McStain et al on their skis, jumping the shark.
‘Federal’ lands? Someone want to point me where I can read about that Amendment? Seems to be missing from mine, only says something about forts, postal roads and the like...

Yep, story upon story to try to take DT down. Not a WORD though on the FBI/e-mails/$6B.
Huh. Well this’ll be interesting.
Among the Cruz or Trump group, this’ll definitely help Trump.
Among the Bernie or Trump group, this’ll likely hurt Trump.
On a side note, what are the chances the FedGov will start going after more of the Bundy protestors, arresting them one-by-one?
They will get each one they could identify - watch. And the sad part is, so far they are all going quietly.
It looks like we either hang together or they will hang us by ourselves.
Word is they have arrested 4 people today.

“conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States”
Yet progressives run the country.
Someone said he was rude to a little girl back in kindergarten.
And this is supposed to make us say okay that’s it I’m not supporting Trump because I love the federal government - yeah right!
Believing in the constitution is conspiracy against the United States?????
That’s the best you got? At least give a link. Here is a guy living it that supports Trump. What are your credentials in this fight out of curiosity.
His interest in Trump is what matters. This guy is in the trenches, putting his life on the line. That said his support for Trump says more than 99% of the FR Trump haters.
The Federal Government can’t give that land back to the states... the states can’t be trusted to keep them great.

Will Trump stand by Jerry Delumus and all the Patriots incarcerated unjustly or will he disavow all connections to Jerry Delumus and throw him under the bus?
I have no idea but it is a good test of his claim to boldness and being unafraid.
