None of them will utter a word about it. Ted Cruz was asked about the protest while they were still in the refuge center and he deflected the question and said he didn't know enough about the situation to comment or opine. For him as a so called constitutional defender to claim that he as not apprised of the gross violations of private property rights in the west is very disheartening.

Investigators said a member of the FBI's elite Hostage Rescue Team fired at Finicum as his pickup crashed into a snow bank at a roadblock on U.S. 395 when he evaded a police stop during the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. The agent's shots didn't hit Finicum, and they were not divulged to Oregon investigators.

The information was revealed Friday in a 32-page government response to FBI Agent W. Joseph Astarita's motion to dismiss his federal indictment. Astarita, accused of lying about firing two rifle shots on Jan. 26, 2016, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of making false statements and two counts of obstruction of justice.
Prosecutors say witness testimony, audio and video evidence, plus bullet trajectory analysis yielded one conclusion: FBI agent W. Joseph Astarita lied about firing two shots at the truck of refuge occupation spokesman Robert "LaVoy" Finicum in 2016 after he swerved into a snowbank.
The information is detailed in a 32-page government response to Astarita's motion to dismiss the federal indictment against him. He's pleaded not guilty to three counts of making false statements and two counts of obstruction of justice. Astarita's lawyer claimed the indictment was based on "junk science.''

Lea and I started talking about the Branch Davidians / Waco Siege over the weekend, which led to me reading more about it. Back when it happened I only saw glimpses of the events on the news and read headlines, but never really found out the whole story (which also led to some reading into Ruby Ridge).
The feds' actions in this is right in line with the shit that went down then, and is only further cementing how fucking terrible our federal law enforcement actually is. Add their actions regarding the Russia investigation and it's not hard to see how so many have lost all faith in Washington.
