President Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the Bureau of Land Management, Tracy Stone-Manning, received legal immunity to testify in a 1993 criminal trial, court documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation show. The trial resulted in a 17 month prison sentence for tree spiking, a violent tactic used to prevent logging.
Stone-Manning testified that she sent an anonymous and threatening letter to the Forest Service in 1989 on behalf of John P. Blount, who she identified as her former roommate and a member of her circle of friends, court documents show. The letter warned that a local forest in Idaho set to be logged had been sabotaged with tree spikes, according to the documents.
“P.S. You bastards go in there anyway and a lot of people could get hurt,” the letter stated.
Tree spiking, which The Washington Post and other news outlets have described as an “eco-terrorism” tactic, is a form of sabotage in which metal spikes are nailed into trees to make them unsafe to log. If gone unnoticed, tree spikes can cause serious injuries for workers. . .
Stone-Manning told local media outlets at the time of the trial she waited until 1993 to inform federal authorities of her role in sending the letter because she was scared Blount would threaten her life. She also said she has always denounced tree spiking.

Taking a stand against tree-spiking and sending a letter warning people that certain trees have been spiked are not mutually exclusive actions, in spite of what this article implies. People change and grow in many ways. Assuming Ms. Stone-Manning has the same mindset and beliefs now as she had in 1993 may not be a correct assessment of her attitudes today.
Garbage is always garbage. Ni–er Barry is the same today, as he was as a child being taught by his communist card carrying mother Ann Dunham.
Since you truly think that people cannot ever grow and change, I am not surprised by your somewhat infantile view of the world. Perhaps if and when you grow up, you might actually see the truth.
I see a lot more truth then you ever will.
liberals are emboldened by knowledge they can pretty much get away with anything without any serious repercussions. Change?
Sure for bolder nefarious activities.
A-MAN BRO

Agreed! Leftists “change and grow” into more evil, hate-driven, and dangerous individuals with the passage of time.
Can’t change the stripes on a skunk. Biden is like a light to mosquitos when it comes to attracting maggots.
