| AG Bill Barr and the Lon Horiuchi story |
| 2020-12-13 |
| [American Conservative] The Senate Judiciary Committee hearings for Attorney General nominee William Barr have focused heavily on Barr’s views on Special Counsel Robert Mueller. But nobody is asking about Barr’s legal crusade for blanket immunity for federal agents who killed American citizens. Barr received a routine questionnaire from the Judiciary Committee asking him to disclose his past work including pro bono activities "serving the disadvantaged." The "disadvantaged" that Barr spent the most time helping was an FBI agent who slayed an Idaho mother holding her baby in 1992. Barr spent two weeks organizing former Attorneys General and others to support "an FBI sniper in defending against criminal charges in connection with the Ruby Ridge incident." Barr also "assisted in framing legal arguments advanced... in the district court and the subsequent appeal to the Ninth Circuit," he told the committee. That charitable work (for an FBI agent who already had a federally-paid law firm defending him) helped tamp down one of the biggest scandals during Barr’s time as Attorney General from 1991 to early 1993. Barr was responsible for both the U.S. Marshals Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, two federal agencies whose misconduct at Ruby Ridge "helped to weaken the bond of trust that must exist between ordinary Americans and our law enforcement agencies," according to a 1995 Senate Judiciary Committee report. After Randy Weaver, an outspoken white separatist living on a mountaintop in northern Idaho, was entrapped by an undercover federal agent, U.S. marshals trespassed on Weaver’s land and killed his 14-year-old son, Sammy. The following day, FBI sniper Lon Horiuchi killed his wife, Vicki, as she was standing in the cabin doorway. Horiuchi had previously shot Randy Weaver in the back after he stepped out of the cabin. The suspects were never given a warning or a chance to surrender and had taken no action against FBI agents. Weaver survived. |

| #2 /\ Both used the Gun Control Narrative of "saving lives" and ended up in the deaths and Murders of Many Many Innocent lives instead. Yes, "saving lives." A narrative likely to soon be reborn. |

| #1 Gave up on Barr 4 months after taking office and doing NOTHING that involved the Clinton's/Obama's documented illegal activities. REGARDING RANDY WEAVER The media quickly decided to play the RACE CARD and slapped the title "white separatist" on the family. It sure sounds racist, UNTIL you break it down and get pass the Liberal media deflective coverage for the Clinton era and their Odd Couple AG. collection of deadly Screw ups. Yes - Weaver and his Family were White. Yes - they were Society Separatists in that they wanted to live at an isolated distance from a rapidly and oddly changing Society. None of which means racist. Quoting from a PBS broadcast "When the Weaver family moved to the remote hills of northern Idaho, they sought a retreat from a rapidly changing world — and the U.S. government." NOTE: The Ruby Ridge Murders and the Waco Massacre both happen under the Clinton DOJ Watch. Both used the Gun Control Narrative of "saving lives" and ended up in the deaths and Murders of Many Many Innocent lives instead. Using the Back Lives Only Matter (BLOM) own words, agenda and demands. Regarding their openly stated idea of a autonomous/separate Black Community in its beliefs and cultural. Would the Medias also apply it own terminology for (White) Separatists to the BLOM? Since the BLOM is preaching: Black Community Separatism? Would the MSM support Trump as they did the Clinton's Admins, if he sent in the Fed's and got similar results? I doubt it. BTW: A number of years later I briefly met Mr. Weaver at an Atlanta (Marietta Area??) Gun Show. You could see the past events had taken a great toll on him. |
