Lead investigator of ecoterrorist plot involving Biden nominee says she was the 'nastiest of the suspects'

The lead Forest Service investigator of the ecoterrorist plot involving President Biden's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) director nominee is pushing back against Tracy Stone-Manning's testimony.

"Contrary to many stories in the news, Ms. Stone-Manning was not an innocent bystander, nor was she a victim in this case," Merkley wrote. "And, she most certainly was not a hero. Ms. Stone-Manning was not only a member of Earth First!, but she played an active role in the Earth First! hierarchy." Later in the letter, Merkley detailed his experience working with Stone-Manning during the investigation, calling her the "nastiest of the suspects."
