BREAKING: People Who Supported Cliven Bundy During BLM Standoff Now Being Investigated by FBI!

My question is… if people were pointing guns at law enforcement and threatening to shoot them, why is there no video evidence of it? There were plenty of cameras around on both sides of the standoff. Yet, somehow this is all going to be a he-said/she-said scenario?

The nation’s most powerful Senator recently referred to those who supported rancher Cliven Bundy in his struggle against the BLM as “domestic terrorists.” Harry Reid has a nasty habit of slandering Americans and he didn’t hold back in doing so when it comes to those causing problems on land he has an interest in.

“Those people who hold themselves out to be patriots are not. They’re nothing more than domestic terrorists,” Mr. Reid in remarks at a luncheon, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, which sponsored the event. “… I repeat: What went on up there was domestic terrorism.”

When the Senate Majority leader says something like this, you know another round of government intimidation will soon follow. Which is exactly what’s now beginning to happen.

Via 8 News Now.

A dramatic development in the saga surrounding rancher Cliven Bundy, the FBI has entered the case.
The 8 News NOW I-Team has learned that FBI agents have started an investigation into the events surrounding a potentially deadly showdown one month ago.

It is one thing for Cliven Bundy and his supporters to square off against an assortment of Bureau of Land Management employees. It is quite another when the FBI enters the picture, and that is exactly what has happened.

The I-Team has confirmed that FBI agents have launched a formal investigation into alleged death threats, intimidation and possible weapons violations that culminated with a dangerous showdown on April 12, and the first people to be interviewed by FBI agents are Metro Police, starting with Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillispie.

It sounds like this is only the first round of interrogations and they’re starting with law enforcement. Next up will be those who actually attended the events described.

My question is… if people were pointing guns at law enforcement and threatening to shoot them, why is there no video evidence of it? There were plenty of cameras around on both sides of the standoff. Yet, somehow this is all going to be a he-said/she-said scenario?

We’ll keep an eye on this and post updates as they become available.

LAS VEGAS -- A dramatic development in the saga surrounding rancher Cliven Bundy, the FBI has entered the case.

The 8 News NOW I-Team has learned that FBI agents have started an investigation into the events surrounding a potentially deadly showdown one month ago.

It is one thing for Cliven Bundy and his supporters to square off against an assortment of Bureau of Land Management employees. It is quite another when the FBI enters the picture, and that is exactly what has happened.

The I-Team has confirmed that FBI agents have launched a formal investigation into alleged death threats, intimidation and possible weapons violations that culminated with a dangerous showdown on April 12, and the first people to be interviewed by FBI agents are Metro Police, starting with Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillispie.

Federal employees suspended their roundup of Cliven Bundy's cattle, following a confrontation outside the BLM compound near Bunkerville. At the urging of Metro Police, Bundy's cattle were released, but BLM's new director announced the matter wasn't over and would be resolved, one way or another.

Last week, the I-Team talked with Metro officers who intervened to protect the lives of federal employees from the 400 or so Bundy supporters and armed militia members. Officers told the I-Team they feared for their lives that day because of the assembled firepower, and because many in the crowd had pointed weapons at officers, taunted them, told them they should be ready to die.

Assistant Sheriff Joe Lombardo, who was left in charge of the Metro contingent by Sheriff Doug Gillespie, told the I-Team that such alleged behavior would be the subject of a criminal investigation.

"The federal authorities are conducting an investigation and I am pretty confident it is going to go into the future," Lombardo said.

He added there would be consequences for someone caught on videotape pointing a gun at a Metro office or federal ranger.

"Yes, there is definitely going to be consequences, definitely. That is unacceptable behavior. If we let it go, it would continue into the future," Lombardo said.

The I-Team has learned that Lombardo was interviewed by FBI agents earlier this week. The first person to be questioned by the FBI team was Lombardo's boss, Sheriff Gillespie.

The sheriff confirmed to 8 News NOW that he was asked about what he saw the day of the showdown and whether guns were pointed at Metro officers. He declined to say what he said to the agents.

FBI agents also spoke to an entire squad of Metro officers, who were on the scene to act as a buffer between the crowd and the BLM. Bundy supporters have insisted in emails and calls to 8 News NOW that no one in the crowd pointed weapons at BLM or Metro, but officers told the I-Team that is exactly what they saw, that many with guns set up behind women and children.

"It is not a rumor. When we first got out there and made a left to divide I-15, that is all you saw. You saw kids and women and horses in the backdrop and then men with guns, laying on the ground, in the back of pickup trucks. We're going, 'wow, this would never happen in Las Vegas,' But it was there. That is not a rumor. It is reality and I saw it with my own eyes," Metro Police Sgt. Tom Jenkins said.

Sgt. Jenkins has been interviewed by the FBI. A second squad is expected to be interviewed by week's end. The bureau does not confirm or deny the existence of any investigation but the I-Team have confirmed from multiple sources that a criminal investigation is underway.

It is illegal to point loaded weapons at federal agents, and most people know what would happen, if a suspect pointed a gun at a Metro officer in the Las Vegas valley.

Bundy supporters have been adamant in saying no weapons were aimed at the feds or police, that the BLM rangers were the ones pointing guns.

FBI: Probe Thyself

The FBI has launched a formal criminal investigation into last month's federal standoff with the supporters of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy.

To be clear, FBI agents are focusing on the alleged misdeeds of the supporters—not the behavior of Bureau of Land Management agents.

The FBI is reportedly questioning various local police officers—while watching video footage to determine if any of Bundy's armed supporters pointed their weapons at federal agents.

67-year-old Bundy, the patriarch of a large Mormon family, first made headlines when the federal government started impounding his 900 head of cattle in early April. The standoff followed a 20-year legal battle over cattle-grazing on federal land.

The standoff involved some 200 heavily armed federal agents from the Bureau of Land Management who descended upon Bundy's ranch. Federal agents apparently did shoot and kill some of Bundy's cattle. Federal agents also damaged Bundy's property.

Yet, FBI agents have been interviewing BLM agents who had been on site—focusing on allegations that Bundy's supporters and militia members who joined them pointed weapons at the authorities and threatened their lives.

FBI agents also have interviewed:
• Metro police Sheriff Doug Gillespie
• Metro assistant Sheriff Joe Lombardo
• And, among others, a Metro police unit that served as a buffer between the BLM and Bundy's supporters

Lombardo was quoted as saying: "The federal authorities are conducting an investigation and I am pretty confident it is going to go into the future."

And according to the World Net Daily news website: "Asked if there would be consequences for somebody recorded on video tape or a news camera pointing a gun at a Metro officer or a federal ranger, Lombardo said 'yes.'"

Some Metro police officers claimed they had feared for their lives because so many armed supporters stood with the Bundy family. No shots were fired. And federal agents eventually backed down and left.

Bundy's supporters, reportedly numbering in the thousands, say government agents blocked roads, released attack dogs, pointed their weapons at them and harassed photographers.

The government claims Bundy owes $1.1 million in unpaid grazing fees and penalties for continuing to let his cattle roam free on land 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas—even after the government decreed the area as a protected habitat for the endangered desert tortoise.

But while the FBI is looking for the slightest indication that any Bundy supporter pointed a weapon at authorities, the issue of federal agents running guns to ruthless Mexican drug cartels under Operation Fast and Furious still has not been fully resolved—despite the fact that Congressional committees have held numerous hearings on this matter.

Attorney General Eric Holder himself has been put on the hot seat in Washington, where he danced around questions about his role in, or knowledge of, Fast and Furious. Holder soon became known as Eric the "With-Holder."

Indeed, the Department of Justice, under which the FBI operates, has been furiously burying the Fast and Furious debacle in layers of denial and bureaucracy. Simply put, the truth has been denied.

So, in a nation where all roads lead to Washington, the real question is whether the federal government has the moral authority to waste tax dollars on any minor misdeeds possibly committed by Bundy's supporters. Perhaps we as a nation should instead conduct our own investigation into the FBI and BLM, examine their budgets, and decide if these agencies really serve the people.
