FYI.
On January 4th, DOI Secretary Sally Jewell sent out an all DOI employee email
regarding the occupation of Malheur NWR. You can read her email here

Low profile after this date may indeed be intentional at the direction FBI.
Perhaps we’ll find out late.

I wonder if the higher-ups in these agencies were keeping a low profile with
the intent to avoid legitimizing the claims of the occupiers and also to keep
from fanning the flames of an ongoing situation. I know that local BLM and
USFWS personnel were encouraged to keep a low profile and avoid speaking out
publicly during the occupation. There probably wasn't much to be gained by
engaging the occupiers in a public debate. To some extent, silence and no
public response is in effect an out of hand dismissal of the legitimacy of
the Bundy's claims and goals.

Hi Boo-sters,
Cute, Lars!
Even though we all would have liked the Bundy gang evicted on day 2 of the
occupation if not sooner, I have to say that the way it unfolded was
brilliant, looking at it in retrospect. The Bundy sons being in custody
lured Cliven to fly to Portland where he was at long last safely arrested
for his crimes. So, even though it seemed that the occupation was never
going to end, justice is being at last served both to the Malheur
malcontents and the Bunkerville bandits. The downside of course was the
damage to HQ and Paiute cultural materials and many biological consequences,
such as the carp projects, etc, etc.
Also, we don’t know what was going on behind the scenes. Maybe Sally
Jewell’s and others’ silence was part of the plan to lull and embolden the
occupiers into thinking they had actually pulled it off. When in fact, LE
were likely hatching plans left and right for many scenarios. The one that
played out was brilliantly successful, except of course for LaVoy Finicum,
and in part, in my opinion, was helped by the arrogant assumption that they
were above the law because “nobody” seemed to care except a bunch of
excitable birders…..
So, whether or not the silence by various lawmakers was deliberate, the
occupiers are in custody awaiting trial, the refuge system has received an
infusion of love and energy and volunteers eager to make it right, Friends
of Malheur received an infusion of members and cash……..
Warmly,
Mary
