The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee received a damning letter on Wednesday about President Joe Biden's nominee to lead the Bureau of Land Management, Tracy Stone-Manning, detailing her complicity in a 1989 ecoterrorist crime and her reluctant assistance to federal authorities only after being granted limited immunity from prosecution.
Retired U.S. Forest Service criminal investigator Michael Merkley, who was the special agent tasked with investigating the plot at the time, wrote to the committee that Stone-Manning "Was not an innocent bystander," according to a copy of the letter obtained by Breitbart News.
Earth First! members committed acts of ecoterrorism in the 1980s and 1990s during the height of the west's timber wars, and Stone-Manning had a role in one particular case that involved tree spiking in 1989 in Idaho's Clearwater National Forest.
After the Forest Service received the letter, Stone-Manning and six other individuals in Missoula were the target of a 1989 grand jury investigation for which they were subpoenaed and required to submit fingerprints and handwriting and hair samples.
The grand jury did not uncover enough evidence from its investigation to charge Blount with a crime in 1989, but Blount's ex-wife reported him to authorities two years later, and in doing so, also named Stone-Manning as the person who mailed the tree spiking letter for him.
Stone-Manning on her Senate committee hearing questionnaire in May also falsely claimed she was never the target of an investigation and that the tree spiking crime was an "Alleged" crime.
Barrasso sent a lengthy list of follow-up questions to Stone-Manning over the weekend as revelations about the ecoterrorism case and some of her stances on environmental issues surfaced.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
