Topic: Malheur Refuge

Pete Santilli recounts his experiences at the Bundy Ranch and Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, alleging they were federal entrapment operations. He identifies Mark McConnell as a paid FBI informant who led LaVoy Finicum to his death during an ambush. Santilli spent 619 days in jail before being cleared of charges, an experience he says prepared him to advocate for the January 6th defendants.

Santilli describes the conclusion of the Malheur standoff, alleging that the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team (HRT) fired provocative rounds that led to the death of LaVoy Finicum. He claims the government indicted an HRT member they knew would not be convicted to cover up the true culprits of the "assassination." Santilli maintains that the entire takeover was surveilled and provoked by federal informants from the start.
