I was told changes were coming with the new administration and to ‘be patient’.
There are countless matters on the table including land management in the West and so on that Washington needs to take action on.
The new Interior Secretary has shuffled bureaucrats around the various departments like Bureau of Land Management, Fish and Wildlife etc. etc. Ryan Zimke has no power to fire them.
Oregon may get a new US Attorney soon with Congressman Greg Walden, Paul Ryan RINO, playing a major role.
Walden to my knowledge has not even lifted a finger to free his own constituents, Dwight and Steven Hammond, from their mandatory five year ‘terrorism’ sentences for lighting a backfire to protect their land in Oregon.
Their jailing was the reason for the Oregon Standoff protest in January 2016.

If I understand the issue, it would be double jeopardy for the Hammonds, as this was the second time they have been incarcerated for the same “crime” of attempting to protect their property. They served time for the original offense and then someone decided that wasn’t good enough so back to jail. Why they went so willingly I am not quite sure, but they spurned the help offered them by groups involved in the protest, before the takeover of the Government controlled land that in reality should have belonged to the State of Oregon along with millions more acres that were not given to the State under the enabling acts.
