Today in Las Vegas a Democrat judge (US District Judge Gloria Navarro), a protégé of the former Democrat Senate leader Harry Reid, will rule on whether the mistrial involving 15 felony charges each for four men (Cliven Bundy, Ammon Bundy, Ryan Bundy and Ryan Payne) will be dimisse "with prejudice" or "without prejudice".
With prejudice ends the charges, but without prejudice would mean a new trial on February 26th.
Then the lead prosecutor Steven Myhre, a Republican praised by Republican Attorney General Jeff Sessions for his "leadership" in the case, backed by an expert sent by Republican Sessions and a new Republican US Attorney for Nevada designated by Sessions will have to decide on their response.
The case has reached this juncture after three trials involving the limiting of witnesses for the defense and the censorship of defense lawyers and defense witnesses including a defendant testifying in his own defense. it was all demanded by the Republican-led prosecution and agreed to by the Democrat judge.
What broke the logjam in this case was the release of more than three thousand pages of "discovery evidence" withheld by prosecutors from the defense.
What forced that was what you might call either an "act of God" or "sheer luck" on December 3rd during the third trial when defendant Ryan Bundy, acting in his own defense, got a prosecution witness under cross examination to admit the existence of an FBI surveillance camera in the days leading up to the April 12, 2014 standoff near Bundy Ranch.
This aroused the suspicion of Judge Navarro, who started to pressiure the prosecution to turn over any and all information about cameras and snipers around the ranch kept hidden by the prosecutors.
After 3300 pages of withheld discovery evidence was turned over to defense lawyers, Judge Navarro ruled a mistrial on December 20th, citing at least six instances of "willful" (deliberate) withholding of evidence by the prosecution.
In a few hours we will find out what happens next.

If this case was not so politically driven I can guarantee you that the case would be tossed out with prejudice. There are murderers running free on the streets today because of prosecutorial misconduct far less severe than this. The case should be tossed and the prosecutors should all be fired.
Steven Myhre, the DA should have been fired.
He should be disbarred too.
Sessions too.
An appropriate resolution to this is to jail the judge and prosecutor until the appeal of the judge’s decision to allow prosecution to continue is resolved by higher courts (if that is the judge’s decision).
The DOJ should have intervened forcefully to settle this blatant miscarriage of justice long ago.
Sessions has shown here like elsewhere he is at best unfit, at worse complicit of the travesty.
This lazy, incompetent and duplicitous bastard must be fired ASAP.
thanks for the reminder
The hearing is 12 Noon Eastern, 9am Las Vegas time.
The prosecutors should be sanctioned heavily and the case should be dismissed with prejudice.
After a major lie like this, nothing the prosecutors say can be trusted as the truth. Period.
Little more needs be understood, than...
DC, is occupied territory. The beast living there, thinks it is god. It is compelled to destroy anyone who attempts to put it back into the chains of USConstitution.
And the decision is WITH PREJUDICE! Justice has finally prevailed.
Now, this will be a FOIA field day.
