Shawna Cox, a leader and one of the few women involved in the Oregon standoff at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge, is demanding that the federal government pay her $666 billion.
In a lawsuit she filed in the U.S. District Court in Portland, she claims she was “maliciously prosecuted by State and Federal Bar Association members because they do not want to be held accountable for their subversive activities against the people of the United States of America,” according to the Oregonian.
Cox–who was actually in the vehicle with LaVoy Finicum the day he was shot and killed by Oregon State Police as law enforcement tried to arrest the standoff leaders – was indicted in January on a count of “conspiracy to impede federal officers from discharging their official duties through the use of force, intimidation or threats.”
She was released in January on the condition that she “not commit any offense in violation of federal, state or local law while on release while she is pending trial.”
In her complaint, Cox claims that because it was mid-winter, she and others who took over the government wildlife preserve, were not interfering “with any public employees working on the Malheur.”
Cox’s claim goes on to actually charge the government with wrongdoing.
