Cliven Bundy, the 71-year-old rancher who sparked a national debate over states rights, refused a federal judges offer to be released from jail during his ongoing trial on Wednesday.
Bundy, who engaged in an armed standoff with government agents over a cattle round-up in 2014, turned down the judges option of house arrest while others involved in the standoff are still in jail awaiting trial.
A federal grand jury in Nevada indicted Cliven and four others on 16 charges related to the armed standoff near his ranch over unpaid grazing fees last year.
U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro, meantime, said Ammon Bundy and co-defendant Ryan Payne can be freed Thursday to home detention.
The judge also said another Bundy son, Ryan, can now split time between home and a halfway house while serving as his own attorney in the case.
The decision involving the four defendants came amid questions about whether federal prosecutors in Las Vegas have turned over complete evidence records to defense teams.
Bret Whipple, Cliven Bundy's attorney, told Fox News that a motion to dismiss the case entirely on Wednesday morning was denied. The court then unilaterally had a detention hearing regarding custody of the defendants.
It was subsequently granted that Cliven Bundy, Ammon Bundy and Ryan Payne be released from detention for the duration of the trial.

Offset and create huge no-go areas. Uranium is pilfered from processing facilities all the time around the world, especially in Niger.
A pretty good size plot where he was doing cattle ranching.
*************
Bundy owns 160 acres of property in fee. The rest he was to pay
grazing fees to the Feds for running his cattle on federal land.
Please, let’s not turn this whole thing into another big conspiracy deal, or a “he’s going to be assassinated if he leaves jail deal.
Ahh ... the verbiage above the asterisks in my post 15 arent my words. Please redirect your concern.
Simpler explanation is that he doesn’t want to sleep in his own bed while his friends rot in jail.
Might have reason to believe he wouldn’t survive if others had easier access....
It went to you.... because it had to go to someone.
It was directed more at “all.”
Sorry.
He won’t be assassinated he will trip and fall on a knife four times. :-)
His 150 or so acres is a very small plot.
Yes but if is has a uranium vein on it, It is very valuable. Remember it does not take much uranium to make fuel or bomb material.
Cliven is representing himself and is using the prison garb to affect the jury. The judge detected this influence, and allowed the political prisoners home-release so they no longer have access to prison garb.
You are smarter than that.
I think the Nevada standoff was really about water. The 160 acres is bottom land on both sides of the Virgin river and they grow melons. They also own the rights to a lot of water, not just from the Virgin river but also the water rights to a lot of BLM land where they graze their cattle.
The water rights are separate from grazing allotments and real estate.
And like a lot of farm land, it is eyed by developers looking at all that valuable waterfront property just an hour from Las Vegas. I am sure Dirty Harry and his associates had eyes on it.
I think that was part of it but the uranium is really what the Feds wanted for Uranium 1.
The Hammond Ranch was about uranium (and possibly natural gas). The Bundy Ranch was about water rights and real estate development. The puppetmasters use the same MO for both goals.
It’s always about using enviro-activist dupes and the ESA to push ranchers off their land and water rights regardless of what the hidden agenda might be.
Don’t know if it would play positive or negative, but it was a gutsy move on his part!
That’s one of the two problems of being a “True Believer.”
#1, As you convince yourself that the world revolves around steam engines and 78 RPM records, you wake up one morning to find everyone has moved on to airplanes and downloads.
#2, You find out some people think other people wearing prison garb belong in prison.

What does Uranium One have to with this particular case?
Well....
In All the Talk about Clintons Uranium One Deal, Why Is No One Talking About the Malheur Documents Found by the Bundys?

“In September 2011, a representative from Oregon Energy, L.L.C. (formally Uranium One), met with local citizens, and county and state officials, to discuss the possibility of opening a uranium oxide (yellowcake) mine in southern Malheur County in southeastern Oregon. Oregon Energy is interested in developing a 17-Claim parcel of land known as the Aurora Project through an open pit mining method. Besides the mine, there would be a mill for processing. The claim area occupies about 450 acres and is also referred to as the New U uranium claims.”
Oregon shootout rooted in Clinton uranium trade?

“What he does point to, however, is a U.S. Bureau of Land Management notation thats titled, Uranium on BLM-Administered Lands in OR/WA, that talks about a May 2012 presentation from Oregon Energy LLC to develop a uranium oxide mine, in concert with the Department of Fish and Wildlife, in southern Malheur County in southeastern Oregon, Rappoport wrote.”
