Freedom Outpost – by Tim Brown
On Tuesday, a federal judge threatened Shauna Cox with jail is she made any public comments about the Oregon standoff.
The 59-year-old Cox was the woman who filmed the inside-the-truck video footage of LaVoy Finicum’s murder on January 26, 2016.
According to US District Judge Robert E. Jones said, “She’s not going to make any public comment, at all, period, or she could sit in jail.”
Cox was released from custody on January 29. However, she has been under home detention since that time.
Oregon Live reports:
The judge told Cox she must refrain from making any comments by phone or social media about her case “or any future protest movements.”
Tiffany Harris, Cox’s lawyer, objected to the scope of the order, but said her client would abide.
…
Shortly after her release, Cox was allowed to attend Finicum’s funeral in Kanab. Otherwise, she was ordered placed on GPS monitoring, home detention that permitted her to leave home only for work, medical appointments, religious services or other activities permitted by a pretrial services officer. She also isn’t permitted to possess any firearms and can only travel to Oregon for court.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Craig Gabriel said Tuesday that Cox “has incited people to travel to Montana to help in harboring” co-defendant Jake Ryan, who has not yet been arrested.
Cox also went on a YouTube video on March 23 for more than an hour talking about the pending case and who she believed to be a government informant, Gabriel said.
Oh, we can’t have that now, can we? We can’t have those who were closest to what was going on outing a potential mole, can we? Everyone that I’ve spoken to believes there was a mole and that he was in the convoy on the day of the arrests. According to my sources, this man was carrying a gun in the vehicle. Yet, within a very short period of time, he was allowed to go free. This raised suspicions among many people and this same person was one that I provided his video commentary on and immediately thought that he didn’t sound believable. His name is Mark McConnell.
Since the US Constitution provides that “Congress shall make no law… abridging the freedom of speech,” I do wonder how this judge is not, in essence, legislating from the bench by claiming that Cox cannot speak out about the criminal activity that has been going on by the Bureau of Land Management, the Oregon State Police and the FBI.
In either case, Ms. Cox agreed by phone from her home in Kanab, Utah.
A curfew was also imposed upon Ms. Cox. I do have to say, all of this smacks of a violation of the Fifth Amendment, which states clearly that “No person… shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.”
Seems to me that not only Ms. Cox, but all those who have been kept in solitary confinement until Tuesday, as we reported on Northwest Liberty News radio, are having this right violated.
More proof that law, including Constitutional protections, does not apply to the Feds. They do as they damn well please and oversight of their activities is a joke. I will never again talk about a “coming police state”. It is already here and in full force and effect. This always happens when sub-human,immoral scum rise to positions of power.
This “judge” is a low life POS who is way too big for his britches. He needs to be cut down a few notches and forced into retirement.
He’s just following orders.
Did Ms. Cox have a hearing where she plead “Not Guilty”?
If she did, she gave jurisdiction to the judge. Entering a plea perfects jurisdiction. She would then have given the judge authority over her. Even though it was done under fraud, what judge is going to call another judges action fraud?
I would ignore the judges orders and scream it from the highest mountain top..The problem is the Public bowing down to blatant violations of their rights..Stand up and defy orders that are obviously given in bias.
Let her make all the comments she wants to but under oath. Otherwise she is trying to interfere in the investigation. Let the DA and her own lawyer depose her under oath.
There will be thousands of Shauna Cox’s in the near future . There has been 10 million firearms sold in the last 100 days . More than all of 1999 . Something so big is coming and there is no historical parallel.
