FBI Agents under investigation in murder of LaVoy Finicum.

An FBI agent is suspected of lying about firing twice at Robert "LaVoy" Finicum and may have gotten help from four other FBI agents in covering up afterward, authorities revealed Tuesday. The bullets didn't hit Finicum and didn't contribute to his death, but now all five unnamed agents, part of an elite national unit, are under criminal investigation by the U.S. Justice Department. Inspector General Michael Horowitz is leading the independent inquiry.

Ah, yes, since it is clearly impossible to sell the murder as anything else, we're going to go with "just a few bad apples" rather than admit high-level complicity.

Too bad the shooting was just ruled justified.

O.M.G. FBI lying? FBI..hiding evidence? FBI obfuscation? Naw. Say it ain't so. I mean..whuuda thunk?

Sheeezushchrist. To any one who slowed that FBI video frame by frame and zoomed in/enhanced details..like I did, it was blindingly clear the FBI was shooting at the pickup during the first STOP. The FBI wasn't at the second stop. That was the Oregon State Police. Moreover, it's also blindingly clear, the OSP murdered Finicum in cold blood. They were shooting before he even turned back towards the truck. I mean, he had his hands in the air for gods sake. I don't care what these lying sacks of shit say...I know what I see. PERIOD.

Was Lon Horiuchi a consultant to the 'elite national unit' participating in this 'justifiable' MURDER, or were they working under the sole direction of Special Agent in Charge Greg 'Let Me Be Clear' Bretzing?

Another free Waco, just like the biker assassinations.

FBI UNDER INVESTIGATION for LaVoy Finicum shooting!!

"FBI agent is suspected of lying about firing twice at Robert "LaVoy" Finicium and may have gotten help from four other FBI agents in covering up afterward, authorities revealed Tuesday.

The bullets didn't hit Finicum and didn't contribute to his death, but now all five unnamed agents, part of an elite national unit, are under criminal investigation by the U.S. Justice Department. Inspector General Michael Horowitz is leading the independent inquiry.

The remarkable disclosure came as a team of local investigators released findings that two state troopers shot Finicium three times in the back during the chaotic scene at a police roadblock Jan. 26. One bullet pierced his heart, an autopsy showed.

"So what we have is a bunch of folks protesting the government, then the government investigating the government protesters, and then the government accused of covering up the investigation of the government protesters, and then the government investigating their own coverup in the investigation of the government protesters," Arnold said.

I half expected it to be Horiuchi again.

Can we believe anything the G-men say? There is a whole culture of lies coming out of DC. And I think the plan to break down the faith Americans have had in our government was intentional.

Here's the FBI video (outside) with cell phone video (inside the truck) overlaid so you can watch both at the same time.

So....the Justice Dept is investigating a branch of the Justice Dept? Sounds legitimate.

Actually, the Malheur County District Attorney was quoted as determining the shooting to be "justified and necessary". I'm still trying to fully understand the necessity of shooting a man in the back while his hands are empty and in plain sight.

To Anonymous at 8:29 PM: I guess the "no more free Waco's" threat only applies when the person or persons being Wacoed meet a certain criteria.

The whole incident really undermines the definition of the word
"Professionals". I suppose it doesn't take much to be a g-man.....

I'm no fan of the feds in this case, *but* Finicum should have cooperated with the officers at the first stop and he should not have been yelling "Shoot me, shoot me!".

It was difficult to determine whether he was reaching for a wounded area on his body or reaching for a weapon when he was ambushed from behind.

I said it was a bad shoot from the beginning. I caught some flak about that. I was taught that the only justification for the use of deadly force is fear of death or severe bodily harm; period. Six or seven guys with assault weapons trained on a man with no weapon whatsoever in his hands and the guys with the assault rifles are in fear of their lives? What am I missing here? If I had been on a private security detail and executed a similar shoot, I would have been expecting to spend quite a while behind bars. This dog and pony show will add up to about as much as the Hillary e-mails. They already have the big rubber stamp all inked up.

This is my personal opinion and doesn't reflect the owner of this blog. I feel that the American people should answer this firing of the first shot with executions of our own, nationwide. They should NEVER get away with murdering a man with his hands up, period. We should attack until they turn them agents over to us for trial.
