(KUTV) A Tooele County man, who was involved an armed stand-off in 2014 and friends with LaVoy Finicum, was arrested by the FBI and indicted for using bombs to destroy a building owned by the feds in Arizona, according to court records.

2. Let's see what happens . . .

When 19-year-old Mohamed Muhamed tried to set off a fake bomb in Portland under the careful tutelage of the FBI, he got 30 years. Mr. Keebler looks a little older than the age at which Muhamed was first contacted by our faultless G-men. Which is to say, Keebler had the full benefit of neural development, the means to carry out his plan without a lot of assistance from the FBI, and the experience to understand what he was getting into. He also has an extensive record of violent anti-government associations and activities. Will he get anywhere near 30 years?
