Which has nothing to do with Finicum's death. The shoot was deemed justifiable and the officers who shot Finicum are not under investigation.Meh, I highly doubt its a conspiracy so I'm betting they're not going to find anything.
Doesn't mean that I don't think the rancher's water and grazing rights vs environmentalist's issue that drove this doesn't need to be looked into - I've seen similar happen up here in Alaska - but I'm just not buying into the "Feds are trying to cover something up" in the shooting here.
4 agents assisted in covering up a lie ab
No they arent. They are doing an investigation as a matter of procedure but its not a criminal investigation.How would the feds now that an known armed individual reaching into his clothes where he was known to carry a firearm was carrying a gun in an inside pocket or in a shoulder holster.
that could very well be something that a jury will have to decide
Since it was a valid shoot. There won't be a jury for a criminal trial.
besides this is what the feds said
The investigation by the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office revealed that Finicum was killed by three bullets that entered through his back after he reached three times for a loaded handgun in his left jacket pocket, officials said during a news conference Tuesday in Bend.
So?
After the shooting they would have known that there was a handgun.
That has nothing to do with what the officers knew after he tried to run the barricade, almost ran down and officer, existed his vehicle and then reached into his jacket where he was known to carry a firearm.

a complaint was forwarded by the local investigators to the DOJ
the DOJ is conducting a criminal investigation of five officers involved in the shooting
it has moved on from procedure to being sent to the DOJ
for criminal investigation
