On Friday, we heard the testimony of Chris Dugger, Ramsey County Sheriff's Deputy.

Dugger started attending Welcoming Committee meetings in November of '07. He was told to "listen and figure out what they were up to." He didn't start getting paid until spring of '08, and was deputized at the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department after the RNC.

Today was the fourth day of the RNC 8 hearings. Most of the day was spent questioning Sergeant Jay Maher of the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department Special Investigations Unit, who conducted extensive surveillance leading up to and following the RNC, worked with the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department informants and supervised some of the raids. Chris Dugger, another Welcoming Committee informant, was unavailable to testify today, and will take the stand tomorrow morning. Maher talked about the initiation of the investigation into the RNC WC.
