The Ohio 82 bridge as it crosses the Cuyahoga River in Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Brecksville.
The FBI arrested five men this week in connection with a plot to blow up the bridge today for May Day protests.

Occupy Cleveland movement... is not under federal investigation.

What? Why the hell isn't it?

[Doogle]

..can’t have the FBI investigating one of Pelosi’s groups she supports.....she said so

Obama's FBI knows that all five arrested in this domestic bombing conspiracy were members of the same leftwing political organization. So, on the day of the arrests, they announce that that same organization will not be investigated!

Nothing fishy there. They still investigating Brietbart?

When I was in college, I had a professor who was considered something of a radical. I remember he once mentioned that he would sometimes by followed by the KKK, but then they would be followed by the FBI. Sort of a little parade.

I later read that there were actually more FBI agents investigating the Klan than there were members of the Klan. I suspect they were investigating groups but I must be wrong.

I remember once that an entire operation by some rightwing group had been conducted by FBI informants. There were so many of them that some did not know what the others were doing.

[cripplecreek]

I’m guessing the FBI was heavily involved and watching the group all along.

[BenLurkin]

Agreed.

If that is not the case then Ameridca is in deep doo doo.

[Cementjungle]

What? Why the hell isn't it?

Because they're Federal contractors.

[Secret Agent Man]

Well, it could be true. But it could equally be disinformation if they really are looking into the group.

[Lurker]

The Feds lie as easily as you and I breathe.

“Let me be clear, the FBI and Department of Justice are not conducting an investigation of any specific group,”

Well.....unless we find somebody tied to the Tea Party......

[elpadre]

"..Let me be clear, the FBI and Department of Justice are not conducting an investigation of any specific group,.." Back in Hoover's day when Russia and other communist countries were exerting their influence throughout the free world, the FBI investigated groups and individuals and had great success. They did not blabbermouth to all the world who was being investigated and who was not. They had some of their greatest success from infiltrating subversive organizations. Obviously they are in need of tightening up their ship and going into the archives to pick some old but still usable methods and techniques.

Steven M. Dettelbach, U.S Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio. "We do not investigate movements or groups, we investigate individuals."

Dettelbach is an obama appointee

[GeronL]

Occupy violence is flaring up all over the country but those dang TEA Partiers are the domestic terrorists

[SwinneySwitch]

“We do not investigate movements or groups, we investigate individuals.”

It’s hard to fix stupid!

Working for the FBI nowadays must be like the fictional inspector character Arkady Renko, in the novels by Martin Cruz Smith.
A good man in a corrupt, political situation.
No I don’t know why the “don’t blow the whistle” if they are “good men”.

[Clara Lou]

Ah, the FBI and the JustUs department. Obama’s toilet paper.
