Jim Bell (FINALLY!) Charged
Oregonian Friday July 11, 1997 Page B3 Man whose home was raided by IRS agents is charged A man whose Vancouver home was raided by IRS agents in April has been charged with two felonies in Tacoma. James D. Bell was charged Wednesday with interfearing with a federal officer and using false Social Security numbers. He has been held without bail in the Pierce County Jail since his May 18 arrest. Bell, 38, is scheduled to be arrained July 18 before U.S. Magistrate J. Kelly Arnold. However, sources close to the case said Thursday that plea negotiations are under way and are likely to be concluded before then. Bell's home was raided and searched April 1 by an IRS task force of 20 agents. In an affidavit for the search warrant, IRS Special Investigator Jeff Gordon said that Bell was "directly soliciting others to set up a system to murder government officials" and that he had devised a plan to overthrow the government. At a detention hearing in Tacoma, Arnold ordered Bell held without bail on both allegations. alano@teleport.com | "Those who are without history are doomed to retype it."

Don't you (or someone you conspire with) actually like have to communicate or be in the presence of a federal officer for that federal officer to be interfered with? I don't remember any direct interference from the paperwork.
and using false Social Security numbers. He has been held without bail in the Pierce County Jail since his May 18 arrest.
Sounds dangerous. How did he use them?

Another one of those face saving plea bargains that the Feds accept when they know they've bit the big one. [Warning old, politically incorrect law school joke coming up.] What was the biggest charge reduction in the history of plea bargaining? That would have been the reduction from a charge of Sodomy to a charge of Following Too Close. -- From the International Committee for the Preservation of Politically Incorrect Law School Jokes.
In an affidavit for the search warrant, IRS Special Investigator Jeff Gordon said that Bell was "directly soliciting others to set up a system to murder government officials" and that he had devised a plan to overthrow the government.
So where are these "others" and why are they still being allowed to walk the streets? Last time I looked, it was legal to devise a plan to overthrow the government. They always prey on the weak or sick. DCF All right. You forced me. "Why do they call it the 'Reasonable Man Test'? Because there's no such thing as a reasonable woman."

Both of which are bailable offenses, and completely unrelated to 99% of the inflammatory horseshit spewed forth by the government over this case. -- Mike Duvos $ PGP 2.6 Public Key available $ enoch@zipcon.com $ via Finger $
