Friends of conservative activist Jerry DeLemus, who is in prison in connection with the 2014 Bundy ranch standoff in Nevada, hope that President-elect Donald Trump can one day offer a reprieve.
"I'm hoping that he does step in and pardon him" said state Rep. Al Baldasaro, R-Londonderry, a national leader in Trump's veteran outreach campaign. "Jerry is an honorable guy."
DeLemus, a state co-chairman of Trump;'s veterans coalition, agreed to plead guilty Aug. 25 to two counts for his role in the armed standoff at Cliven Bundy's ranch in Nevada in April 2014.
DeLemus decided to withdraw his guilty plea after seven anti-government activists--including two Bundy brothers--were acquitted on Oct. 27 of conspiracy and weapons charges in Oregon.....

Not too many weeks later, federal marshals swooped down on Jerry DeLemus's home at dawn and arrested him for participating in the April 2014 standoff near Bundy Ranch (Bunkerville, Nevada).
Lets hope Donald Trump helps this man and puts an end to the federal prosecution-persecution that continues in Oregon with more defendants facing trial and is planned for Nevada next year with three sets of trials starting in February.
Trump may not pardon them.
He doesn’t need to.
The trials have not started and the only people who want them to are the Obama freak federal prosecutors trying to get revenge on the uppity white folks of the West.
The charges can be dropped. Most of the real crimes were committed by informants or actual agents.
Interior Secretary Palin and Attorney General Kobach will have no problem identifying the real culprits.
I think there may be reason to investigate the behavior of the FBI and supporting state and local law enforcement especially their actions that led to the death of LaVoy Finicum as their ambush on Jan. 26 (”felony traffic stop”).
They treated the protestors like they were terrorists, murders and or drug dealers and after their extreme action to apprehend the protestors, the jury finds them ‘not guilty’ of felony charges.
I am enraged that BLM can riot and destroy private property, and block traffic yet if the right protests they are thrown in prison.
Is Sarah becomes the Secretary of the Interior in January, could she not intervene and have all the charges dropped?
The BLM would be working for her then.
Her influence would be in changing land use policy for the Bundy Ranch and others in the Western lands under BLM supervision.
The Department of the Interior is not the prosecutor, the Department of Justice is in both Oregon and Nevada matters.
A pardon and commutation.
The Hammonds need to be pardoned & financial reparations made to their family, also. Both father & son have been put into Federal prison in Long Beach, Cal, which is another hardship for the family to visit them. Only the Hammond women are still on the ranch. Hoping that other ranchers are continuing to keep the ranch going.
The Feds gave the Hammonds permission to start a backfire to stop a range fire & save their winter hay. Then the Feds prosecuted them for starting that backfire.
The Obama administration totally sandbagged them.
Trump also needs to arrange for the Feds to pay the Wayne Hage family in Tonopah, Nev. the funds due them for the lawsuit Wayne won years go. Plus interest.

Yup.
This one needs a pardon because he plead guilty before the Malheur trial came back with not guilty for all 7 defendants.
A presidential pardon would be easier and faster than taking back a guilty plea.
Funny, that's exactly what the BLM does out west.
