Lead investigator of eco-terrorist plot involving Biden nominee says she was the ‘nastiest of the suspects’
The lead Forest Service investigator of the eco-terrorist plot involving President Biden’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM) director nominee sent a letter to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Wednesday pushing back against Tracy Stone-Manning’s testimony.
Michael Merkley, a retired criminal investigator for the U.S.D.A. Forest Service with over 28 years of service, said he felt compelled to write the letter to the Senate committee because many of the reports he had seen about the tree-spiking case linked to Stone-Manning were “inaccurate or incomplete” and misrepresented her as a “bystander or a victim.”
