Summary of intvw:
Shawna visited with me 2x, left to go to meeting in John day and never came back
Some of the documents were very old, I told Shawna how careful we had to be. Said I would
train volunteers how to properly handle them to prevent damage. Shawna agreed.
I was there because Ammon had posted a video asking for scanners and for people who were
experts in document mgmt. and in maps
I was at the main gate when the Navy Seal came. We had a fire up there. Me, Duane Ehmer,
Travis. It was dark. A fake reporter came up to the campsite but didn't ask any questions. Then
this guy came said he was a Navy Seal. I didn't believe he was a Seal. He was acting wrong. He
was acting like wacked out Vietnam Vet. He said his rank was E18. There is no E18. There were
also voices shouting around us, didn't know if it was our guys or the FBI. All these things made
me nervous. It was chaos, didn't know what was happening.
The Navy Seal was fake. I knew he was fake. The reporter was fake. I though both were sent by
the govt. I made fun of him. He didn't make me nervous on his own but combined with all the
other things I was nervous.

Jason Patrick came up to get the Navy Seal and brought him down to the chow hall. There was
an announcement on the radio that there was a meeting in the chow hall. Some people left but I
stayed. The people never came back from the chow hall meeting. That made me nervous. There
was no communication.
Jason Patrick got on the radio and said FBI told him anybody who wants to leave can do so in
next five minutes. I saw some trucks getting ready to drive out. I got my truck started. I had to
leave things behind. My truck battery was at the chow hall. I followed the guys in the trucks.
They turned left and I followed. They were going real fast and turned around when they got to
the roadblock
I have a video of the Navy Seal telling Sean Anderson that rescue was on the way, just hang on,
guys are coming to get you out.
There weren't enough radios, there was no organization, we didn't know what was going on. If I
hadn't heard Jason Patrick say there was a five minute window to leave I could have been stuck
there .

I JAMES J. O'HAGAN make this declaration of my own free will. If I were called, and
16
17
the following:
18
On October, 11, 2016 I was called by defendant Shawna Cox to testify to the jury in
19
her defense. I have prepared this friend of the court Brief for the Jury, and it is my wish
20
and desire that it is provided to the Jury and not withheld from the Jury, as I would
21
consider it would be further tampering with evidence and further tampering with a
22
witness, which, was done with me when I was prevented to testify openly and
23
24
With this document I am reporting and accusing the Prosecution and Judge Anna
25

28
29
authenticate the documents and testify to the relativity of the documents. I have
30
attached copies of the first two documents hereto for the jury to examine. Prior to
31
allowing me taking the witness stand, Judge Anna Brown determined that she was not
32
going to allow me to present any of the evidence I had or testify about any of the
33
evidence I documented as an eye witness to the events that were unfolding on the

As I testified, prior to meeting Shawna Cox at the Malheur on January 6th 2016, I
had never met Shawna Cox before nor any of the other individuals at the Malheur.
I went to the Malheur because I was involved in multiple fraud schemes in the
Federal Courts in Oregon by officers of our courts who used our courts to execute their
personal fraud schemes. I reported these fraud crimes to the FBI in Portland Oregon
who informed me that it would not do them any good to investigate fraud crimes by
officers of the courts because no prosecutor would prosecute one of his fellow State
Bar members for using the courts to execute their fraud crimes. With this knowledge
passed onto me I understood that the Bar Association's had overthrown the peoples
10
courts and was using the peoples courts for their personal gains, and when I learned of
11
the Hammonds situation I felt it was necessary to expose the magnitude of corruption
12
that has infected and sickened our judicial branches. The illness of our courts was
13
documented in the Anti Government Movement Guide Book published by the National
14
15
The Anti-Government Movement Guide Book was the first exhibit I was to testify
16
about. Judge Anna Brown refused to allow any testimony regarding a government
17
document that advised our courts to clean up their criminal acts and stop using our
18
courts for organized crimes of their fellow Bar Association members. I intended to
19
testify of how the judicial industry of the State and Federal Bar Associations had
20
perverted justice.
21
Exhibit 2, was a document that I personally wrote while I was at the Malheur
22
documenting the events that were unfolding while I was there witnessing them. The
23
document is dated the day I personally served it on the parties that I addressed the
24
document to by personal service that was witnessed by a third party. The date of the
25
document is essential as the document itself was dated a considerable amount of time
26
before any charges were brought against Shawna Cox or any of the other Bundy
27
Defendants and as such, since I am not psychic, I had no way of knowing what criminal
28
charges the government would bring against the Bundy defendants nor the arguments

document I simply documented the events unfolding while I was there, offered a civil
resolution to the problem and identified certain criminal codes that were being
violated and would be violated if any one was injured or killed and the government did
The moment one reads the document it is obvious why the government
prosecutors fought against Shawna Cox from allowing the jury to examine the
document, as it is exculpatory evidence they had in their possession at all times that
defeated all of their arguments and criminal charges, and the moment the prosecutors
learned of the document they should've dropped their charges and focused their
10
11
12
Tranquility that is in much need of restoring, I am asking the Jury to carefully evaluate
13
14
in order to determine the truth and warrant a finding of guilt or innocence. I am also
15
asking the Jury to indict each and every one involved in preventing me from testify to
16
the events that I documented that were unfolding on the Malheur while I was there
17
witnessing the events, on tampering with a witness and intimidating and preventing a
18
19
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct; except as to
20
those things, I say on information and belief and as to those things, I believe them to
21
be true also.
