Agent in charge during 2014 Bundy standoff no longer with BLM

A federal agent who had been scrutinized for his handling of rare evidence as well as behavior at the counterculture Burning Man festival is no longer an employee of the Bureau of Land Management, authorities said Friday. Daniel Love, who played a command role in federal agents’ 2014 standoff with Nevada rancher and states’ rights figure Cliven Bundy, no longer works for the agency, spokeswoman Megan Crandall told the Associated Press. She did not answer questions about the timing or circumstances of his departure, citing federal privacy laws. A lawyer for Love, Lisa Kleine, did not immediately return messages seeking comment. There was no answer at a publicly listed phone number for him. Love still worked for the agency on Aug. 24, when a federal investigative report was released saying he handed out valuable stones known as moqui marbles to colleagues and a contractor “like candy,” as one witness told investigators. The rocks are unique geological formations of iron oxide that form in sedimentary rock and the agency was holding them as evidence in an investigation into whether they were illegally collected from an unnamed national park, according to a U.S. Department of Interior report. It also found Love told an employee to delete some emails that contained bureau information requested by then-U.S. Rep. Jason Chaffetz in 2016. Another report released in January faulted Love for using his role overseeing security at the Burning Man festival in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert to buy otherwise unavailable sold-out tickets and having agents drive around his family during the Nevada event in 2015, as well as manipulating a job search for a friend...more

One can only wonder if there is any connection between Love's departure and this announcement.
 
Anyway, I can only conclude the following: 

As a BLM agent you can botch a major federal operation, bring national embarrassment to your agency, and abuse your authority over American citizens --- and you'll be okay.

As a BLM agent you can make outrageous food and facility demands as part of issuing a permit, and threaten fellow employees who are to be questioned by investigators on the matter --- and you'll be okay.

But by God if you abuse stones from a National Park, we will fire your ass.

If you are an old rancher, you better watch out. If you are an old rock, you can feel safe tonight.

If it is any consolation to Dan Love - I got a 30ft high geographical finger rock formation on my ranch.

This rock distinctly looks like an "opinionated" finger (for real), and, fittingly, it is pointed at BLM land across the road - even Mother Nature has exercised her first amendment rights about federal land management.

Maybe Dan can come over and stand on what once was 'his' BLM land and look across the road at my rock and be reminded of his "First Amendment Area".

And,...as a consolation prize...to Dan Love, the DOJ and others in his ilk - for all you do-- I dedicate this rock to you.

But please don't use my finger rock as an excuse to turn my ranch into a "bird" sanctuary.

If he wants - I can make miniature replicas of my geological formation and he can hand them out to his cellmates as momentoes.

The Love family, Reggie and his paler 1/2 brother Dan, are hopefully down the road to the dustbin of the Obongo regime.....soapweed

No one is coming out with the real dirt on Love yet.
The guy punished BLM staffers (males) who turned down his sexual propositions.
There is a guy in jail who Love set up.
When he gets out, Love better hide.
The clock is ticking.....
