Welcome to the Liberty Without Compromise podcast with Dan and Dawna Wilson. For a year Dan ran in the race for Kootenai County Sheriff and while the numbers were not on his side, he is still the people’s sheriff. People from all over this county, the region and nationally, have been inspired by the message of Liberty Without Compromise and inspired by a man who has been willing to fight fire with fire. AND there is unfinished business. In this episode we are going in-depth to uncover what’s going on in the largest most influential churches in Coeur d’Alene. Have these pastors crossed political lines, are they involved where they shouldn’t be? Are they king-makers? Who is advising them? Anyone looking for political power and control in Kootenai County knew that controlling the church was a must. This last weekend one of these pastors called Dan a liar from the pulpit. Through our campaign you’ve heard some of what has gone one in the conversations that did (or didn’t) happen between Dan and these pastors.

In this part of our series verbatim transcripts are read revealing that a former DHS agent played a primary role in the meeting with a local pastor and one of his parishioners. This same former federal agent has local, political ties to the GOP and the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office.

In this episode, the conversation being revealed via these transcripts is winding down. The former federal agent hadn’t interjected in a while, but toward the end of the conversation goes on to highlight her career in federal law enforcement. She states that she’s a part of this meeting not to represent anyone but herself and after a 30-year career in federal law enforcement got involved in Kootenai County politics, “A little bit.” The former federal agent admits to being the president of the Republican women for a while until as she says, “It didn’t align with what I could do, and I resigned in February.”

The former federal agent states that she wanted to meet with Dan Wilson but was just not able to make time to do it aside from one event in January 2024 where she had to leave early due to another obligation. The fed then goes on to say that she started a non-profit to support law enforcement stating that “The guys and girls on the street should have nothing to do with politics. They’re out there putting their lives on the line. It shouldn’t be about what your political affiliation is…they should be supported.”

As the transcripts conclude, Dan and Dawna Wilson wrap up this part of the series by exposing the pastor and former federal agent’s agenda to distract and manipulate with professional interview and interrogation technique. The former federal agent is involved in local politics and social groups all over Kootenai County including the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee, special political advisor to pastors and Sheriff Bob Norris, advisor to Bob Norris’s non-profit helicopter program, local art commissions, involved in a resiliency and preparedness organization, a large regional non-profit, and started her own non-profit.

Wilson further dissects the pastor’s relationship with the sheriff and KCRCC saying that it could be one of two things, “Either it’s a tribal relationship meaning the pastor helps them and they in turn help him. The second possibility is that the pastor is being leveraged by somebody whether it’s homeland security, other federal agencies, maybe local, we don’t know. What we know is that he refused to meet with me and a plausible explanation is that he could not risk getting to know me or showing support because those who are leveraging him would be exposed.”
