The judge dropped one of the charges against the defense lawyer taken down in the courtroom by federal marshals after he won the case for Ammon Bundy in last fall's Oregon Standoff case.

But the other two charges remain and the judges comments I excerpted seem to point to his belief Marcus Mumford did something wrong.

He'll make a ruling from the bench after a trial, a jury will not be involved.

The whole mess in the West, the imprisonment of the Hammonds, the prosecution of the Bundy's and numerous others for the Bunkerville Standoff in 2014 and this prosecution of Ammon Bundy's defense lawyer all seem to cry out for some justice.

President Donald Trump met with the wife of Venezuelan political prisoner Leopoldo Lopez on Wednesday and his picture was taken with her and posted on the president's Twitter feed. President Trump called for the release of Lopez.

It was a great thing that the POTUS did, but there are other great things to be done.

Something should be done about some prisoners (the Bundys and others) sitting in Nevada jails right now, the Hammonds jailed as terrorists in a California federal prison for lighting a backfire to protect their land, about this federal government prosecution of a defense lawyer taken down when defending his client in a courtroom.

Dang straight President Trump should be stepping in.

If he has time for a Venezuelan woman he needs to MAKE time for these American families who have been improperly held and charged under the Obama regime.

"The U.S. marshals' conduct does not rise to a level that 'shocks the conscience.'".....

...but does; instead; shock yer skinny ass!

I hate to tell the judge that even I was shocked by the US marshal’s behavior.

From the judge’s statement you can bet a ‘guilty’ verdict is coming.

Sounds like the judge has reached his verdict.

I continue to believe this is a travesty of justice.

Mumford deserves a trial before a jury of his peers...other defense lawyers, specifically, but everyday citizens failing that.

The judge won’t allow it, because justice is perverted, and it’s hard to keep it perverted if it’s put in the hands of the fair and balanced.

I quite seriously doubt this lawyer attacked officers of the court trying to bring his client under control.

Right to a trial by a jury is a constitutional right is it not? Can someone explain to me, why a person who was just acquitted, would then be taken into custody? Is he not free to go?

Not to be flippant, but am I the only person who reads this headline and thinks, “Why is that British bluegrass guy in trouble and why is it on Free Republic.?”
