I had posted a link to a very good site for the Oregon goings on. Now things are just getting crazy - the U.S Attorney for the State of Oregon, Amanda Marshall seems to be a real piece of work. She has since resigned citing health problems. She was an Obama appointee.
From The Last Refuge:
UNBELIEVABLE Update – Oregon “Bundy Militia” Standoff – The U.S. Attorney At The Heart of The Hammond Family Problem…
The media are focused on the “Bundy Militia” angle to the standoff in Burns Oregon, where Aamon Bundy and brothers have taken over a Malheur Wildlife Refuge Headquarters to draw attention to the plight of the Hammond family (Full Complex Back Story Here).
However, a little research (HatTip NeverTooLate) into the original legal battle reveals a rather startling update.
The initial, and regarded by many as overreaching, federal prosecution resulted in a federal court judge Michael Hogan assigning a 3-month sentence and 1-year sentence for Dwight Lincoln Hammond Jr (73) and his son, Steven Dwight Hammond (46) respectively.
A bit more:
You really have to read the whole story, including her sisters arrest on drug charges, her estranged family and how her own daughter views her as eccentric to get the full scope of the person who was in charge of a “Childs Advocacy Section” and then later became U.S. Attorney for the state of Oregon. You really have to read it all.
But wait, it gets better.
After winning the sentencing appeal – In May of 2015 activist Amanda Marshall stepped down from her job as U.S. Attorney for Oregon, citing “health concerns“.
A very strange sketchy exit to use the reasoning “Health Concerns” because she was under internal (Office of Inspector General ) investigation of her for “stalking” a co-worker U.S. Attorney Scott Kerin:
The last couple of links go to this article at The Oregonian which makes for surreal reading. How did this person get appointed to their office?
A number of the comments to the site mention that the area is very rich in mineral deposits and getting the Hammonds off their land is a precursor to selling off the land to China as part-payment for our National Debt. Entirely plausible and disgusting at the same time.
This land is your land, this land is our land - it does not belong to the Federal Government. They only hold it in trust for us - We The People.
