Bureau of Land Management official Robert Shilaikis testified for the prosecution.
Shilaikis testified about a phone conversation he had with Ryan Bundy regarding the government's plans to impound cattle near the Bundy Ranch.
Bundy reminded Shilaikis that the family would oppose the federal government's seizure of their property (cattle) as they had said for the last 20 years doing "whatever it takes".
Its a phrase that has sinister overtones to opponents of the Bundy's.
It is important for the prosecution to create sinister notions of violence against the four defendants.
US District Judge Gloria Navarro would only allow 10 minutes of that conversation the prosecution wanted used and not the whole conversation. She rejected an attempt by Cliven Bundy's attorney Bret Whipple to include the whole 60 minute conversation.
Meanwhile, the defense says that when Shilaikis and another government official approached Bundy family member Clancy Cox on the grazing land in March 2014 there was a bribery attempt to enlist him as a government informant. Cox is married to one of Cliven Bundy's daughters.
The BLM officials were scouting out the ranch area and they wanted to gauge reaction of Bundy family members to their plans to seize the cattle.
They recorded their conversation with Clancy Cox and another person there. This is something defense lawyers didn't know about before.
The judge ordered the prosecution to turn over the recording after lunch today......

I don’t know much about this case but have been following your posts for some time. Are you saying the prosecution has withheld discoverable material, AGAIN! They will turn it over today. This Judge is pure evil. Someone has to stop her. She is ruining people’s lives. All to cover up for Gov’t corruption. This will be settled but will take time. I doubt Sessions will attempt to help. This is a place he should be working at fixing.

Sorry for the double post. Please delete.
Before anyone says that the Bundys owed $1,000,000 in grazing fees, read this.

And also, even if they did "steal" the grass (which they didn't) they didn't take it from the mouths of illegal muslim children.
Cattle grazing there improves the land.
And also, even if they did “steal” the grass
= = =
The cattle left it there, eventually.
Exactly.
What we’re finding out in this trial is that information was not given by the prosecution to the defense but what’s worse is that two trials already happened of other defendants in the case without their defense lawyers having the info.
Two defendants acquitted, two plea deals on one misdemeanor and two felony convictions with one guy getting a 68 year sentence handed down on him.
