W. Joseph Astarita is a treasonous FBI agent working for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. He was indicted on five felony charges after the inspector general of the U.S. Justice Department last year began investigating possible FBI criminal misconduct and whether there was a cover-up.
Astarita said nothing during a brief court hearing and was released on his own recognizance, declining to comment as he left.
“The actions of the FBI HRT (Hostage Rescue Team) in this case damage the integrity of the entire law enforcement profession, which makes me both disappointed and angry,” said Deschutes County Sheriff Shane Nelson, whose department investigated Finicum’s shooting.
Oregon U.S. Attorney Billy Williams would neither confirm nor deny that up to four additional members of the FBI team are under investigation for making false statements.
Asked why Astarita may have lied, Williams said: “I suspect that question will be answered in court.”
The FBI spokeswoman in Portland, Jennifer Adams, referred questions to headquarters in Washington, D.C., which did not return messages seeking comment.
A grand jury indicted Astarita on making false statements to his FBI supervisors just after the shooting and obstruction of justice for misleading the Oregon State Police.
A one-week jury trial is set for August 29, 2018. The obstruction charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, while making a false statement could bring five years.
Finicum’s widow, Jeanette Finicum, has said she plans to sue state police and the FBI, alleging the use of excessive force in her husband’s death.
Dozens of people, including leader Ammon Bundy, occupied the remote Malheur National Wildlife Refuge from Jan. 2 to Feb. 11, 2016. They were allowed to come and go for several weeks as authorities acted like they were trying to avoid bloodshed as seen in past standoffs at Waco, Texas, and Ruby Ridge, Idaho.
But authorities moved in January 26, 2016 when key standoff leaders left for a prearranged community meeting with government elected officials. The FBI was informed of this beforehand, and knew none of the standoff leaders and their passengers were armed before pulling over their two vehicles.
Finicum, 54, was driving one vehicle. Video taken by a passenger showed the occupants panicking after authorities stopped the truck.
Finicum then sped off, coming to a roadblock and plowing into a snowbank.
Authorities say FBI agent Astarita fired two errant shots as Finicum left the truck. As Finicum then stood in the snow, two Oregon state troopers fired three rounds that hit him.
It should be further noted that no hostage situation was ever involved, but the FBI sent in the (HRT) Hostage Rescue Team with this blood trusty traitor acting in his official opacity as a sniper. By the authorities own words, FBI agent Astarita fired two ‘errant’ shots as Finicum left the truck. By definition these shots were lawless and criminal, and still Astarita has never been charged with anything near the crime of attempted murder.
The FBI agent indicted for allegedly lying about a pivotal moment during the 2016 Malheur National Wildlife Refuge occupation has hired a high-profile Washington D.C.-based attorney to defend him.
Indicted FBI Hostage Rescue Team member W. Joseph Astarita has retained Robert Cary.
Cary will serve as co-counsel in the Astarita case with Portland based attorneys David Angeli and Tyler Francis.
Federal prosecutors have accused Astarita of lying to investigators about firing his gun during a traffic stop that left Malhuer occupation leader Robert “LaVoy” Finicum dead.
Though neither of Astarita’s shots hit Finicum, prosecutors have charged the FBI agent with several felonies for allegedly failing to disclose them. Those charges include making false statements and obstruction of justice, but don’t include attempted murder or his criminal involvement in the murder assignation of Robert “LaVoy” Finicum.
The FBI said Astarita is working in an “administrative capacity” with the agency, but has declined to discuss any additional details about the case. In other words, can you say protecting their own and government coverup? Well we can, especially right from the start when everyone of the FBI agents didn’t wear their body cameras along with informing the Oregon State Police officers to do the same.
U.S. District Judge Robert E. Jones threw out two of the five charges against FBI agent W. Joseph Astarita accused of covering up that he fired two rifle shots at the truck of Oregon refuge occupation spokesman Robert “LaVoy” Finicum at a roadblock in January 2016.
Judge Jones struck one count of making a false statement and one count of obstruction of justice against W. Joseph Astarita.
The agent still faces three charges before his trial is scheduled to start: two other counts of making a false statement and one other count of obstruction of justice.
At trial, Astarita, 41, is accused of two counts of making a false statement, alleging he lied to his immediate FBI supervisor “B.M.” at the scene and days later to FBI supervisor Tim Swanson when he told them he hadn’t shot his rifle. He also faces one count of obstruction of justice during his initial interview with two state police detectives.
During the trial an investigators said, One shot struck the roof of the truck and the other went astray as Finicum stepped out of his truck, his hands in the air.
The prosecutor stressed the need to critically examine the actions of law enforcement officers who maintain positions of trust in the community and the importance of holding an FBI agent accountable for straying from the bureau’s motto of “fidelity, bravery, integrity.”
Maloney argued that Astarita was the only officer who was standing in the spot where the bullet that struck Finicum’s roof could have come from, based on government expert Michael Haag’s analysis of the bullet’s path.
Astarita, who took the stand denied firing his weapon during the incident — or recalling much of anything about where he had been positioned at the scene.
Maloney urged jurors to review FBI aerial video that captured Astarita’s stance with his rifle shouldered, pointing at Finicum’s truck as he stood beside the open passenger door of a state police pickup in the middle of the roadblock, at the time the two disputed shots were fired. However on the other hand, Maloney went so far as to make the jury themselves feel guilty if they convicted Astarita by saying, “It’s with no pleasure or glee, and it’s with a heavy heart that the U.S. government has to ask you to convict one of its brightest stars. . .”
The jury acquitted W. Joseph Astarita.
This verdict comes at no surprise, for thanks to a corrupt federal judicial system the charges were for two fired shots, one bullet hole and a crime scene free of evidence which included the bullet casings. If that isn’t enough, Joseph Astarita was the only federal or state officer charged for committing any form of crime involving what is clearly a case of attempted murder that ended in the murder assignation of Robert LaVoy Finicum.

CASEY CODDING
Casey Codding is a traitor.
Casey Codding is a traitor.
Casey Codding murdered Lavoy Finicum.
Thanks to recent testimony we know the activist’s death was a pre-planned assassination. But corrupt judges along with government officials have sealed the identity of the Oregon State Police (OSP) Officer directly responsible for the murder of Lavoy Finicum.
Despite public outcry, trials against protestors and even charges against one of the FBI agents for the filing of a false report in the murder, the man who pulled the trigger has been known only as Officer #1.
However, today someone leaked the name of the OSP officer behind the slaying. The real name of officer #1 is CASEY CODDING (a/k/a – Casey Michael Codding), and this is a photo of him.
Casey is not denying the killing, and he is being praised by other government traitors for his actions. In fact he is being praised as a hero for helping the FBI and other OSP officers setup an illegal roadblock to ambush and kill the activist Lavoy Finicum.
We should never forget Casey Codding (a/k/a – Casey Michael Codding):
He killed 3 people…
He fired rounds into a moving vehicle…
He fired 2 rounds into the back of a man…
He is the man that murdered Lavoy Finicum.
If that isn’t enough to turn one’s stomach, then this might,. . . Casey has since been promoted to the rank of captain.
As members of the human race we should all demand that Casey Codding answer for his crimes and be given the due process he and his treasonous friends have denied Lavoy Finicum. It’s time we stop and put an end to these unlawful fake courts and their secret trails, for ‘We The People’ have the right to know the names and faces of the criminals that violate our highest laws and murder our families.

ROBERT S. LASNIK

Robert S. Lasnik is a treasonous Senior United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington.
U.S. District Judge Robert Lasnik on Tuesday (July 31, 2018) blocked the imminent release of blueprints for 3-D printed guns, hours before they were set to hit the internet.
The decision blocked a settlement President Donald Trump’s administration had reached with the Texas-based company, which planned to put files online on Wednesday.
Eight states and the District of Columbia on Monday filed a lawsuit to fight a June settlement between the federal government and Defense Distributed allowing the Texas-based company to legally publish its designs.
Judge Robert Lasnik is clearly a traitor, for he has no legal authority to issue such an unlawful court order in violation to the First and Second Amendments of the United States Constitution.
Despite Judge Robert Lasnik’s treasonous ruling, NBC News reported on Code Is Free Speech, a coalition of five West Coast gun rights groups, posted the plans, claiming the publication was protected on First Amendment free speech grounds.
Plastic guns are created in the same manner as anything that is printed in 3-D: The machine stacks layers of material to form an object. But guns made by 3-D printers have a particular risk factor — they’re untraceable.
Back in 2013, Defense Distributed founder Cody Wilson posted a video of him firing the Liberator — all plastic and 3-D-printed, save for a metal firing pin — and uploaded the plans online. According to CNN, he was served with a cease-and-desist order from the U.S. State Department a few days later; the State Department argued that Wilson’s plans may have violated International Traffic in Arms Regulations because he released the information to people outside the U.S. To this we must ask, “When did international law override the highest law in the land – The United States Constitution?”
In June 2018, Wilson came to a settlement with the Trump administration that implied he would be able to post his plans, according to The Verge.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) tried to pass last-minute legislation blocking the publication, saying, “American national security is going to be irreversibly weakened because of the actions of the administration.” His effort was blocked by Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), who raised First Amendment concerns, according to the Sentinel.
A lawyer for Wilson criticized the restraining order as a violation of his First Amendment rights. According to NBC News, Defense Distributed was not responsible for the publication and had agreed not to post the documents, pending court rulings.
JOHN ANDREW ROSS

John Andrew Ross is a treasonous United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri.
According to a ruling by U.S. district judge John Ross in St. Louis, Missouri, governments can require a people to make themselves sick. More specifically, a local ordinance that requires planting grass, to which a St. Peters, Mo. woman is allergic, does not violate a “fundamental right.” Thus, judge John Ross granted a summary judgment sought by the City of St. Peters and ruled against a federal lawsuit brought by Jan and Carl Duffner, who must now devote half of their lot to cultivating a plant that makes them ill. The basis of the judge’s ruling is that the Supreme Court has ruled that “aesthetic considerations constitute a legitimate government purpose.”
So, according to this ruling, the government can force you to affirmatively commit acts that are harmful to your health.
St. Louis Today reports:
U.S. District Judge John Ross’ 17-page ruling said Janice and Carl Duffner “failed to identify a fundamental right that is restricted by the Turf Grass Ordinance.”
After unsuccessfully suing in state court, the Duffners filed their federal suit in 2016, claiming the ordinance was “unnecessary for the advancement of any compelling or permissible state objective” and “imposes a permanent obligation on the owner to cultivate and maintain that unwanted physical presence on their property for no reason other than that the government commands it.”
The suit said such ordinances could lead to cities mandating swimming pools or holiday light shows to boost property values and said the Duffners could face jail time or fines of $7,490 to nearly $188,000. …
Ross ruled that the potential punishment was not excessive. He also declined to consider several state law claims, saying that some of the issues had already been “extensively litigated and decided by Missouri state courts” in a prior state lawsuit, and other issues, including zoning, were better left for state courts to consider.
Dave Roland, a Freedom Center of Missouri lawyer representing the Duffners, vowed to appeal.
“If a city can compel citizens to devote half of their property to growing a plant that the citizen does not want and that makes them sick, there is no longer any principled limit to the government’s control over private property,” he said in a statement.
Kemberlee Kaye of Legal Insurrection gets it, about how outrageous and frightening this is:
Janice Duffner is highly allergic to grass. The couple transformed their yard into a beautiful garden landscape. But, unless the Duffner’s adhere to the city ordinance, they can be fined up to $188,000 or face jail time up to 20 years in the slammer. A totally reasonable punishment for a landscaping violation.
Indeed, the pictures provided by the Freedom Center of Missouri and posted to Legal Insurrection show a beautifully landscaped garden, not some weed-filled wasteland.
JOHN PAUL STEVENS
John Paul Stevens is a traitor.
John Paul Stevens is a traitor.
John Paul Stevens is a treasonous American lawyer and jurist who served as an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1975 until his retirement in 2010.
Retired Supreme Court Judge John Paul Stevens wrote an oped Tuesday (March 27, 2018) in the New York Times calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment of the US Constitution.
Via The New York Times:
Rarely in my lifetime have I seen the type of civic engagement schoolchildren and their supporters demonstrated in Washington and other major cities throughout the country this past Saturday. These demonstrations demand our respect. They reveal the broad public support for legislation to minimize the risk of mass killings of schoolchildren and others in our society.
That support is a clear sign to lawmakers to enact legislation prohibiting civilian ownership of semiautomatic weapons, increasing the minimum age to buy a gun from 18 to 21 years old, and establishing more comprehensive background checks on all purchasers of firearms. But the demonstrators should seek more effective and more lasting reform. They should demand a repeal of the Second Amendment.
Concern that a national standing army might pose a threat to the security of the separate states led to the adoption of that amendment, which provides that “a well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” Today that concern is a relic of the 18th century.
Apparently the traitor John Paul Stevens should be reminded of the fact that Stalin’s firearms confiscation was a tremendous success for the socialist state.
The Constitution of the United States is one of the greatest documents in history, and recognizes something incredibly important: that our rights are given to us by God, not by our government.
Second Amendment: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
We, the People of the United States, should not stand by while these precious rights are taken from us. The Second Amendment guarantees security, it does not threaten it, and every man and woman in this great nation has a right to use it to protect themselves against tyranny or any other threat.
ANY ATTEMPT TO INFRINGE ON THIS RIGHT should be fought by the people of this nation. We should not allow anti-gun zealots and tyrants to blatantly ignore the Constitution and infringe on our rights.
The Second Amendment is vital for our liberty, and we need to defend it from all traitors like John Paul Stevens.
