With the jury selection process underway this week for the second Bunkerville Standoff trial in Las Vegas, Attorney General Jeff Sessions was at the federal courthouse today in Las Vegas.
Courtroom observer and wife of one of the defendants on trial for the second time in the case, Andrea Parker, heard Sessions praise the way the prosecution is leading the case and then say he was not taking sides in the case.
Parker said Sessions comments spoke for themselves and to her were an endorsement of the "atrocity" of the prosecution of those accused in the standoff near Bundy Ranch in April 2014.
During this second trial the prosecution called for and the judge areeed to ban any discussion of the First or Second Amendments of the Constitution during the jury selection and trial.
He’s Henry Gibson from Laugh-In..
guy is just too old for this job.....useless.
If Sessions was in the court room....sounds like jury tampering.

Yeah, based on that writing, you couldn't get ten bucks or know how to send it anywhere.
Sounds more like you're digging in the trash cans outside the gas station.
Cheers.

We need a Republican Eric Holder. Guy was a badass. Congressional subpoenas? Holder wiped his ass with 'em. Contempt charge? He didn't care. "I'm Attorney General Eric Holder and this is my middle finger!" Obama had his back and he looked out for his boss.
That only works for a leftist black guy. If the republicans tried the crap Holder did, the entire establishment and the media would go apesh#t.
They probably learned how to weed those types out before they are picked for the jury.
Oh well, it should be fun when Sessions praises the prosecution for putting Sheriff Joe behind bars.
Here’s Wiki’s background on the case:
Claim of inherited grazing rights
There are no legally recognized inherited grazing rights, preemptive rights, special rights, or grandfathered public-domain land-use rights held by the Bundy family or Bundy’s ancestors. Bundy lost his special-rights arguments in the United States v. Bundy cases. Bundy had only base property and normal AUM grazing-allotment permits, like the permits of thousands of other ranchers throughout the western United States. The court found that Bundy and his father actually first began grazing their cattle on the Bunkerville Allotment in 1954 and used it for several years. They paid for cattle grazing again from 1973 until 1993, when Bundy paid the last fees for his final grazing application for the period from December 1, 1992, through February 28, 1993. On January 24, 1994, the Bureau of Land Management delivered a Proposed Decision Order to Remove and Demand for Payment to Bundy by placing it on the dashboard of Bundy’s vehicle while he was in the vehicle. BLM officials allege that Bundy became agitated, descended from his truck and accused the BLM of harassing him. He then returned to his truck, threw the proposed order out of the window and drove away. One of Bundy’s sons then picked up the document, tore it to pieces and threw it on the ground. On February 17, 1994, the BLM issued a final decision canceling Bundy’s range-grazing permit. Bundy subsequently informed the BLM in several administrative notices that he intended to graze cattle “pursuant to my vested grazing rights.” Bundy failed to demonstrate the existence of any such special rights when given an opportunity to do so in court.
Claim of states’ rights
Bundy lost in U.S. District Court on all his arguments regarding states’ rights and jurisdiction in the United States v. Bundy cases. He had argued that the U.S. District Court for Nevada lacked jurisdiction because the U.S. did not own the public lands in question. The court ruled that “the public lands in Nevada are the property of the United States because the United States has held title to those public lands since 1848, when Mexico ceded the land to the United States.” Bundy had argued that the Disclaimer Clause of the Nevada Constitution carries no legal force.
Bundy also argued that the United States’ exercise of ownership over public-domain lands violated the Equal Footing Doctrine, that Article Four of the United States Constitution (the Property Clause) applied only to federal lands outside the borders of states, that the government had based its authority to sanction him on the Endangered Species Act (as opposed to an action for trespass) and that Nevada’s open-range statute excused Bundy’s trespass. These arguments were rejected by the court.
*******
Jeff Sessions is a great guy. Bundy is a long term law breaker who has already lost multiple court cases concerning the grazing of his cattle.
They're already going apesh#t. What do we have to lose?
Sounds like Sessions is more interested in defending judicial procedure than defending individual constitutional rights. I’m not surprised.
Why hasn’t Sessions indicted deep state actors for releasing classified information? Where are the indictments against the IRS fascists?
Time for Trump to fire Sessions.
If we can pry him away from the craps table, perhaps he can look into what Loretta Lynch, Susan Rice, Obama and, of course, the Clintons have been up to for the past several years.
