ZitatPORTLAND, Ore. -- A federal prosecutor revealed in a court document that the investigation of FBI agents involved in the traffic stop that led to the killing of Oregon standoff spokesman Robert "LaVoy" Finicum is before a grand jury.
Attorneys for the defendants accused of taking part in the Ammon Bundy-led takeover of a national wildlife refuge in Oregon have been seeking records from the investigation into the FBI's use of force in the Finicum shooting and whether there was a cover-up.
In a motion to keep reports sealed, Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles Gorder wrote Thursday that matters before a grand jury are protected from disclosure rules.
Oregon State Police troopers fired the rounds that killed Finicum during the Jan. 26 confrontation on a remote road, and the shooting was deemed to be justified.
Investigators, however, discovered FBI agents failed to disclose they fired two rounds that missed Finicum.
u-h-h-h, the "traffic stop"??? at least the report didn't say it was a "routine traffic stop"
"A dramatic chase down tree-lined U.S. 395 ensued. As shown on an FBI video taken from a pursuing helicopter, it ends when Finicum swerves to miss a roadblock, nearly hitting an officer and plowing into deep snow."
This "traffic stop" had quite a lot of drama: an FBI helicopter was overhead in pursuit with cameras rolling, the high speed vehicle ground chase which led to a road block that had been set up. Chasing someone right into a road block is one heck of a traffic stop.
