It has come to our attention that there has been a development regarding
the prosecution (persecution) of journalist Gary Hunt. This past January, the documented use of
lawfare was proven through
judicial transparency
thanks to the release of court documents. These documents show that
United States Attorney Pamala Holsinger tried to convince Judge Anna
Brown that Hunt was in possession of what she considered to be
contraband, which was actually discovery evidence.
Since then, Hunt has been visited by FBI Special Agent Matthew Catalano multiple times, as documented in his
Freedom of the Press
article series. During these face-to-face meetings, Agent Catalano and
Hunt enjoyed polite discussions as Hunt refused service of the court
order demanding his appearance in the federal Oregon District Court.
Hunt explained to Agent Catalano that he did not think this order
applies to him.
The latest development is that as of today on March 30
th
of 2017, at approximately 12:30 pm PST, Gary Hunt was arrested by
federal marshals at his home in Los Molinos, California. He was reported
to have been transported to Sacramento, yet his extradition to Oregon

ReplyDeleteI am finally back home from having spent just over one week in the Sacramento County Jail.
I want to thank all who have supported me throughout this ordeal, whether with financial support, open support on Social Media, and those who prayed for a good outcome. Through extremely limited communications, I was still able to find out some of what was going on outside of the jail walls.
Currently, the ground is still held with regard to the matter of the jurisdiction of the Court over my articles. A hearing is scheduled for May 9, in Portland. It has been stipulated to, that my appearance at that hearing is not an admission of jurisdiction -- it is simply to decide whether, or not, there was jurisdiction. If it is determined that there was jurisdiction (which I doubt), then a Show Cause hearing will be held at a future date.
I will be writing a number of articles, some prior to that first hearing. Others will be written after that hearing, to include the outcome of that hearing and other matters that I am not at liberty to discuss at this time.
I have held my ground, and will continue to do so. Hopefully, this will be an encouraging lesson to patriots; you can challenge the government and win. With this in mind, it is abundantly clear that:
IT IS DANGEROUS TO BE RIGHT, WHEN THE GOVERNMENT IS WRONG.
