Did you don your tinfoil hat and sweep the areas they were in for wiretaps?

They used the threats as a ruse to get inside - actually looking for a stolen pic-a-nic basket.

Quoted:
As I exited the shower there was a knock on the door. I answered wearing only a towel. When I laid eyes on the two men on my porch, my brain instantly said "cops" because they didn't look like gardeners or Girl Scouts or Jehova's Witnesses. They looked like park rangers but not in uniform. One showed me his badge. It said "US Forest Service". OK, adrenaline dump subsided. there's no way I have any beef with the Department of Agriculture. No illegal plants on my property, etc. I asked how I could help them, and invited them in. The senior officer explained that they were investigating threats that had been made to a National Forest official, and showed me a letter containing foul language and a threat. The officer asked if I knew anyone who felt strongly about a particular issue before the National Forest official. I replied "You mean like my ex-wife?" She happens to be an outspoken opponent of a recent action by the official. "Yes, 'Gertrude' (not her real name)" replied the officer. I told him that despite our differences she would never write such a thing, and that I wouldn't associate with anyone who did. He gave my hand a squeeze as he handed me his business card, and they went on their way, reluctantly. I got hold of my ex a day later. They had been to her house the same morning before visiting me. I figure they were using me as a cross-check to validate her credibility. The last time I spoke with feds was when the FBI was doing a background check on her for a security clearance. I wish she'd just leave me alone. Please commence with CSB, etc. Was his "private" number on the back of the card? |

Quoted: Why is your ex-wife on their radar? She has been openly critical of a utility project that will infringe on some National Forest land that she's particularly fond of. Quoted: Wait... So the Forest Service was investigating a threatening letter? They can do that? They're the enforcement arm of the Department of Agriculture. The person who was threatened is a Dept. of Agriculture employee. I was kind of surprised that it was Forest Service rather than the FBI or the local PD or the county Sheriff doing the investigation, but there they were. |

No. HogJaws doesn't marry hippie tree huggers or even those with potential, regardless of how good she is with the mouth. HogJaws answers the door in his 13th century armored suit or Adidas pants and a t-shirt, one hand behind the door that may or may not be holding your ticket to heaven. HogJaws invites nobody without pizza or TnA into his home. HogJaws is deathly allergic to cats and dogs, but pussy and bitches will suffice. That about sums it up. |

Did they ask to use your phone for any reason? Celll phone battery dead? Return a call? Anything?
If so, they put a DNR on your phone and they DON'T have to have a warrant to do it either. It is regarded as an "investigative tool". |

You are a better man than I am, California.
If the Man showed up at my door, and I thought I could throw my ex in the jackpot? "Gee, I dunno, guys. She spent a lot of time on Stormfront, and always said she'd shoot a black President... does that help?" (Okay, no I probably wouldn't do that... but, I'd want to. Sucks being nice. You end up being nice to people who don't deserve it.) |

They left, I got dressed, and went to work late as usual. I was on their list of people to be interviewed, and I wanted to get my name crossed off as quickly as possible. I don't like having outstanding business with LEOs. I hope they catch the amateur who sent the threatening letter(s). |

I have a follow-up on this one!
I ran into Gertrude, my ex, at a restaurant last week. I was sitting at the bar having dinner and a Margarita, listening to one of my bar buddies talk about his three ex-wives. She got my attention. I turned and said, in front of several people, "Hi Gertrude, are the Feds still leaning on you?" She turned red for a few seconds then started laughing, and launched into a tirade about how upsetting the situation had been for her. She said she locked her keys in her car every day for two weeks after they visited her. Then she went on about how the Forest Service and the Sierra Club and Darryl Issa and the Illuminati are all in collusion with San Diego Gas & Electric, or some such nonsense. I'm so glad to have her as an ex-wife! |
