According to a 108-page investigative report commissioned by the Washington State House, Washington State Republican Representative Matt Shea not only planned but actively participated in acts of domestic terrorism against the United States ahead of and as well as during the armed takeover at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

Per the report, Shea began colluding with militia leader Ammon Bundy back at the beginning of November 2015 to help “in the planning and preparation” of a 6-week conflict in the rural Eastern Oregon refuge, which several armed protesters were occupying, called the Malheur takeover. The standoff did not come to an end until one protester was fatally shot and dozens more were arrested.

“Representative Shea, as a leader in the Patriot Movement, planned, engaged in and promoted a total of three armed conflicts of political violence against the United States Government in three states outside the state of Washington over a three-year period,” the report reads. “In one conflict Representative Shea led covert strategic pre-planning in advance of the conflict.”

According to a statement from the Republican minority leader of the House, Rep. J.T. Wilcox, in the immediate aftermath of the report’s release, Shea was “suspended from any role in the House Republican Caucus.”

Writing on his Twitter account Wilcox stated, “He should resign. He cannot use House Republican staff, he cannot meet with the caucus, his office will be moved.”

The GOP website has now taken down Shea’s name and photograph, as well.

In response, the GOP Rep turned terrorist has denied the allegations laid out in the report, calling the investigation a “sham” and refused to resign.

“I will not back down, I will not give in, I will not resign,” Shea’s recent Facebook post read. “Stand strong fellow Patriots.”

The investigation report also determined that Shea was involved with several other armed militias and used in position in the Patriot Movement regularly send militia members to conflicts with government officials.
