An FBI agent has been indicted on accusations that he lied about firing at a rancher in 2016 when officers arrested leaders of an armed occupation of a federal wildlife refuge in rural Oregon.

Sources familiar with the case say the agent will face allegations of making a false statement with intent to obstruct justice, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported Tuesday.

The indictment stems from more than a yearlong investigation by the U.S. Justice Department inspector general. The agent will be identified when summoned to appear Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Portland.

Authorities moved in on Ammon Bundy and other leaders as they were driving in two vehicles from the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge to a meeting on Jan. 26, 2016.

Try him for murder! Not for making a false statement.

The issue is the HRT LIED about not shooting at the vehicle before Finicum exist the vehicle.

Don’t think there is any evidence the HRT team shot him. But there is evidence they shot the vehicle. And then collected brass and filed false report of not firing on the vehicle.

FBI HRT has very bad track record when it come to telling the truth. Remember: Lon Horiuchi at Ruby Ridge?

Yes, of course they did, and when I first saw the thread, I thought one of those pukes was being indicted for murder, not obstruction of justice.

Going by what's written.

"Sources familiar with the case say the agent will face allegations of making a false statement with intent to obstruct justice,..."

can you imagine if white folks had rioted and burned cities and destroyed businesses after that clearly unjustified murder/hit job by the FBI?

Is he the shooter? Or just one of the liars on the team?

At least one, but could be both.

My question would be, how many paid liars were on the team? 6 or 8? My next question would be, why aren't they ALL being indicted? They all had to collude, to make it match their reports. Maybe one or two of them, with a twinge of conscience, decided they weren't going to be a party to this, and ratted them out.
