This ridiculous and patently false scenario was intended to discredit opposition to lawless riding habits supported by rogue elements in the BLM Barstow Field Office.
Harold Johnson and Barry Nelson may find this allegation to be their Watergate. They have threatened federal investigations in an attempt to intimidate, but may find soon themselves the object of a Congressional investigation.
Look for the current smugness in the BLM Barstow Field Office to be replaced by scattered chairs and a scramble for the exits.
