Agent: NH Tax Evader Was In His Crosshairs
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) ― A federal sharpshooter had tax evader Ed Brown’s head in his crosshairs and was ready to pull the trigger during a failed attempt to arrest Brown at his rural New Hampshire home two years ago, the agent told a federal jury on Thursday.
Deputy U.S. Marshal Edward Recor said that moments after Ed and Elaine Brown were tipped off about the June 7, 2007 raid, he watched through his telescopic sight as Brown appeared in a turret at his fortified home, raised a .50-caliber rifle and pointed it down the driveway. Recor said he and other agents backed off after Brown lowered his weapon.
Recor’s testimony came in the third day of trial on federal charges that Ed Brown, 66, and Elaine Brown, 68, barricaded themselves in their Plainfield home for nine months with a stockpile of weapons after being convicted of evading federal taxes in 2007.
Recor said he trained his sight on Brown’s left temple and waited for Brown to lift the rifle to his face. U.S. Attorney Arnold Huftalen asked Recor what he would have done if Brown had made that move.
“I would have had to fire,” said Recor.

Thanks Jack, and also WBZ-TV out of Boston for the ‘eye” Team they call it as they video-tape crooks like COPs stuffing the trunks of their cruisers, while on-duty, with booze on illegal pay-offs. I saw this on their Channel 4 years ago.
BTW speaking of pay-offs, who paid off U.S. Marshals Service Director John F. Clark to look the other way, or is he a total dunce? as in either ignorant or corrupt? http://www.usmarshals.gov/contacts/clark.htm
And what of his boy here: Edward Recor, is he playing the Sergeant Schultz routine too? like from that actor in the 1960s TV series comedy of WWII called: “Hogan’s Heroes”.
What I mean is that over at http://www.azcentral.com/specials/special14/articles/0407coldcase0407.html for that “Oddball lawyer” case of April 7, 2006 they have him down as not only this sniper but an “Investigator”.
You would have thought that BEFORE he goes on a mission he’d check-it-out, as to see IF it is legal or lawful or not. Especially when N.H. Marshal Monier’s own oath of office is to execute ONLY “lawful precepts”.
Did Recor ever check it out of under who he was dealing with? Or did he take his orders blindly from his boss, Director Clark and so to hell with the means, as long as the end of the order be that he deliver the man to the concrete slab either dead or alive.
Say what? You mean we’ve got goons running, or I should say: ruining our government!?
Here’s what I’d like to see, after meeting with Recor and his buddies at “The Barley House” Thursday night when Chief Deputy Gary DiMartino, brought the boys over for a beer: He “investigates” to find out that he was set up. Set up to do an illegal maneuver and so files charges of fraud against his boss under The Whistle-blower Act to collect his percentage of the tens of thousands of dollars for the illegal shipment of federal inmates from New Hampshire over to Maine in violation of the law: Title 18 U.S. Code Section 3232.
Then maybe Vermont U.S. Senator Patrick Lahey forms another “Truth Commission” to investigate the non-investigator Director Clark for sending his boys into an illegal operation, maybe not done mal-iciously, but by mis-take, that either way ought to earn all these #__ two-man teams a Bonus this year 2009 as The Year of The Truth.
The truth being that there has been no 40USC255 filing to N.H.’s RSA Ch. 123:1 from 1-8-17 U.S. Constitution, as required by that 1943 U.S. Supreme Court case, in that a June 14, 1883 offer was given to the Feds, but not as a gift, but for this conditional exchange that has yet to happen by some GSA agent or whoever even my Fed Rep. and U.S. Senator don’t know, or prefer not to know whose job responsibility this is at the federal level, or by the N.H. governor under his Articles 41 + 51 duties “to execute the laws of the state AND of the United States” (emphasis ADDED, and for that phrase of: “responsible for” that makes him personally liable for his failure to act by this omission to NOT Article 12 protect us inhabitants here from “any other laws than those to which they, or their representative body, have given their consent.”) The U.S. Attorney KMOWS this too, by his Manual #664, but prefers to be one of the no-see-um monkeys.
Stay tuned for WHEN I win my RSA Ch. 541-B:1-23 State Board of Claims case #2009-013 complaint against Millionaire Governor John H. Lynch of Hopkinton on September __, 2009 (they meet quarterly), to ricochet to December when Ed & Elaine Brown plus The Freedom Four do benefit too.
Best wishes for those “Happy Trails”, — Joe
