Trump campaign co-chair arrested for conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States

Source: Ann ‏@Ann7837 4 hours ago

Jerry Delemus, the husband of a New Hampshire Republican lawmaker and co-chair of the state’s “Veterans for Trump” coalition, was arrested Thursday for his role in the armed standoff nearly two years ago at the Bundy ranch.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested Delemus on nine federal charges — including conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States, threatening a federal law enforcement officer, obstruction of justice, attempting to impede or injure a federal law enforcement officer and several firearms charges, reported Portsmouth Patch.

The Tea Party activist and outspoken Donald Trump supporter traveled cross-country in 2014 to take part in the armed standoff between Bureau of Land Management agents and Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and his militia supporters in a dispute over unpaid grazing fees.

He was apparently the security team member who asked Jerad and Amanda Miller to leave the Bundy ranch just weeks before they gunned down two Las Vegas police officers.

Arrests have been going down for hours now, another Bundy brother, Eric Parker the Sniper, others.

It's not the national co-chair and not even the state co-chair!

Only the co-chair of sub-sector of electorate in one state: NH veterans.

Profit incentive overcomes truthful headline writing.

So we have Trump comporting with known criminals. Nothing new, we all remember his days of comporting with Fat Tony Salerno and other Mafia big shots.

The guy pointing his long gun at police from a covered position during the NV Bundy stand-off.

Folks were complaining here why those guys weren't arrested. Well, now many of them apparently have been.



BTW, they are all up for some very serious charges.

My expectations are that it's going to be "No guns for you!!!" for all of them if they get out of the pokey, that is.

Come to think of that, that's pretty good:

NO GUNS FOR YOU!!!
