THE BIG STORY WAS TWEETED BY REPORTER JENNY WILSON OF THE 'REVIEW JOURNAL' AND RETWEETED BY REPORTER MAXINE BERNSTEIN FROM 'OREGON LIVE' BUT NOT INCLUDED IN THIS STORY PUBLISHED BY THE VEGAS MEDIA SITE.

'SURPRISING TESTIMONY' WAS HOW WILSON TWEETED THE NEWS THAT GREGORY BURLESON (ONE OF THOSE ON TRIAL) USED TO BE A PAID FBI INFORMANT.

Gavin Seim posted a video on his Facebook page saying Burleson's defense lawyer didn't know about his past and that Burleson was an informant 'right up through Oregon' just before he was arrested in connection with the Nevada protest in 2014.

Maxine Bernstein also retweeted a link to an article published in 2011 about Burleson showing up at a left-wing "Occupy Phoenix" protest and identifying himself as "militia".

Was he on FBI business back then?

“Was he on FBI business back then?”

Once in one is never free of the FBI’s tentacles.

Times change but the FBI’s spying on everyone doesn’t.

They watched the Civil Rights Movement and the KKK in the 1960’s, they watch Patriots and Black Lives Matter today, they watch anyone and everyone.

They bugged Martin Luther King then and Donald Trump and his transition team now.

That Comey guy needs to go.....

More on Burleson here by Shari Dovale
http://redoubtnews.com/2017/03/22/bunkerville-defendant-fbi-informant/

“The Nevada Bunkerville Protest Trial heated up today when it was unintentionally disclosed that defendant Greg Burleson has been a paid informant for the FBI since 2012.

The prosecution called FBI Agent Michael Caputo and FBI Agent Adam Nixon to the stand and, in an unusual move, the court instructed the jury that this testimony would be used only in reference to Defendant Burleson.

The prosecution attempted to be careful of how they questioned the witnesses, however, they did ask a few questions that raised eyebrows. The only defense attorney that was allowed to cross examine the agents was Burleson’s attorney, Terrence Jackson .

Jackson gave every impression that he was not aware of his client’s true status. He questioned the witnesses until they made the admissions. Over multiple government objections, and amid several small conferences with the other defense attorneys, Jackson continued to hammer at the agents with questions until they admitted to Burleson’s status as a Federal Informant.

Burleson has worked with the FBI on other cases prior to the Bunkerville Protest. Towards the end of 2015 Burleson initiated contact with the FBI. It is believed that this was the time that the scheme to plant Burleson in the prison was hatched.

Burleson has been kept apart from the other prisoners, it was said, due to medical problems. It has been reported that he has gone blind, is in a wheelchair and suffers from Diabetes. Complaints of lack of medical care have been made throughout the time of his incarceration.

Burleson was not taken from the courtroom after the shocking announcements, and no motions were requested for a mistrial. Though, this seems to be a likely case to be declared a mistrial.

As one of the defendants, Burleson had access to all pretrial conferences and defense discussions. All investigations and other evidence would have been completely available to him, and therefore, to the FBI and prosecution, as well.

What will the government do next? If this case does not get thrown out, it will indicate just how deep this corruption goes.”

EVERYONE INVOLVED or interested simply MUST KNOW THIS:

AMERICA DOES NOT HAVE A JUSTICE SYSTEM
America has a LEGAL system, and there is precious little that those divergent systems share in common.

So, whatever befall, make your ultimate appeal to GOD ALONE, because ONLY GOD, has a True Justice system, and ONLY that system will ultimately prevail.
