What is the Nexus between Mueller’s FBI, a Sleepy Tennessee Town, and an Unsolved Murder?

“PARTNERS IN CRIME”

On July 17, 2010, 60-year-old businessman, Loudon County, TN Deputy Sheriff and Republican Elections Commissioner Jim Miller was assassinated by gunshots to the head, placed in the trunk of his car, then driven to Sands Road in Sweetwater, where it was set on fire.

At the time, Bill Bivens was finishing his first four-year term as Monroe County sheriff and seeking reelection, which he achieved in August 2010.  At the same time, Robert S. Mueller III was in his ninth year of a ten-year term as director of the FBI.

According to the Knoxville News Sentinel on November 10 that year, Miller “left the election commission office in Madisonville shortly after noon July 17, apparently to head home. Early that evening, a deputy in a rural section of the county sighted Miller’s car, engulfed in flames. Miller had been shot in the head three times and his body was burned beyond recognition.”

In early January 2011, Jessica Kennedy Powers was reportedly arrested “on murder charges” after the Monroe County Grand Jury issued one or more indictments relating to Miller’s demise, according to a press release attributed to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI).

On November 19, 2010, Monroe County resident and retired Navy LCDR Walter Francis Fitzpatrick, III, who was an inmate in the Monroe County jail at the time, reported that Powers had been arrested in September for her possible role in the Miller murder.  “This hasn’t been reported before,” Fitzpatrick told The Post & Email via telephone from the jail that evening.  “Her arrest is not yet reported anywhere publicly. This investigation is being kept very, very tight.”

Fitzpatrick immediately associated Powers’s name with that of one Brandon Steele in keeping with the information he was provided.  He also told us:

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Department has no business being part of this investigation. The FBI should be doing it. The TBI, those guys…there’s something really wrong here about this. This arrest should have been announced locally when it happened, and it wasn’t. As I said, you have the first alert. And people are looking at this case real hard, and all that the government is doing is being real secretive.
