Well that was expected. They’ll try to torment him through bureaucracy, harder to fight.

My guess is a simple one, the government backed off because the story was spinning out of control and it was becoming increasingly toxic as evidence of Harry Reid's corruption was gaining press.

It's one thing for Democrats to look the other way when the Majority Leader of the Senate lines his sons' pockets and quite another when the story assumes the dimensions of a national scandal.

After 14 years, this is ridiculous.

The tortoise issue is a laughingstock. Why don’t they just leave the old man and his cattle alone.

The complainers all seem to be enviro-nuts and developer opportunists.

And in all of these there is no credible evidence of damage any greater than other area wildlife.

Yes, and how many millions of dollars were spent by BLM on this week-long stunt of federal government overreach, jack-booted, SWAT bullsh!t?

Irritate him with red tape, MSM attacks to defamate his character and portray as a right winger who wanted “free” land to graze his cattle on while he gets rich selling cattle (we KNOW this what the left will do; they are so predictable), bs lawsuits to force him to appear in court, find other ways to bleed his income dry and force him into bankruptcy (baically all soft irritation tactics), and NSA intel to monitor his communications and movements to find an exploitable character flaw.

The left won’t considerthe history involved or see the true reason BLM agents arrived to boot his cattle off the land to make he and his sons rich using a ruse. They won’t get or understand that the government us made up of selfish who attained their power by exploiting their positions and “bullying” others. That won’t understand why this is wrong or why pople ot pset over it because they are too distracted by their electronic devices to think critically, logically, or rationally to see the bigger picture here.

To Hell with the Federal “Legal Beagles”.

Next time they will swoop in quickly and take everyone in custody and be gone before the troops can rally.
