BUNDY FAMILY MEMBER'S ATTEMPT TO DELIVER LETTER TO INTERIOR SECRETARY ZINKE STOPPED
Nextrush Free ^ | 8/7/2017 | Nextrush/Self

ATTEMPT CAME WHILE RYAN ZINKE WAS MEETING WITH LOCAL RANCHERS DURING A TOUR OF SOUTHERN UTAH-NEVADA AREA AROUND BUNDY RANCH

Brianna Bundy is the wife of Mel Bundy, one of Cliven Bundy's sons arrested in connection with the April 12, 2014 Bunkerville Standoff.

Mel is jailed indefinitely without bail and still awaiting trial around 18 months now.

She wrote a letter earlier this year to the new Secretary of the Interior, Ryan Zinke.

Zinke visited the area around Bundy Ranch late last month and during his visit Brianna Bundy approached the site where he was meeting with local ranchers to attempt delivery of her letter.

But she was rebuffed from her attempt by Zinke's security escort and police were called to the scene.

A video of the incident was posted on Facebook by activist Kelli Stewart and also on Gavin Seim's Facebook page on Sunday July 30th.

Stewart captions her video with a message that reads in part:

"Brianna Bundy tries to deliver personal letter to Ryan Zinke to discuss ranching and water rights, Bundy family excluded from meeting....."

Media reports noted that Zinke was visiting the Bundy Ranch area, but that he had not met members of the Bundy Family.

Shortly after this incident, Secretary Zinke cut short his visit to the area to return to Washington reportedly for an important meeting.

I wanted to put this out because it was a story I was unable to post during my vacation.

President Trump's supporters including myself want to see some justice done in matters related to the Bundy Ranch, the Bundy's as a family and all the family members and supporters jailed indefinitely without bail, almost all without trial for a year and a half.

Trump supporter Roger Stone is working on a petition to the POTUS call for a pardon for the "Bunkerville 19".

Jeff Sessions praised the leader prosecutor in the Bunkerville Standoff trial now underway in Las Vegas last month as well. A prosecutor who got the First and Second Amendments banned from use in defense of the accused.

I expect change from President Trump on matters like this and we need to see it soon.

I had hopes that at least the Hammond's would be back at their ranch by now.

Any comment on their plight from the WH?

The senior Hammond is in his 70s and Mrs. Hammond is running the ranch alone.

Zinke could do away with the 1906 regulation that charges ranchers for their stock to eat wild weeds. It’s a total windfall for the federal government for doing nothing.

The Bundys, their associates, and the Hammonds in Oregon should have been pardoned in January.

Holding the Bundys and their associates in prison for eighteen months and counting when they haven’t been convicted of anything is outrageous.

Also outrageous is Sessions presenting his a$$ in Las Vegas recently and praising the prosecution (persecution) and then claiming to be impartial.

There’s a video posted on the “JGrady” You Tube involving Sheriff Richard Mack and Ted Nugent conversing on government abuses of individuals.

Mack mentions the Hammonds as a case Nugent should bring up after Nugent said he intends to bring certain cases to the attention of President Trump.

Where this leads?

It doesn’t sound very hopeful to me. Even in Sheriff Joe’s case, the DOJ is pushing for maximum jail time according to Joe’s attorney. Almost mysterious as to why this is all happening with Trump in charge of things.

Because certain agencies are still not in his control. This agency is totally out of control. It is because BLM = The Clintons.

In order to sell off the mining rights of US land to the Russian Mafia, Hillary had to have the cooperation of BLM. Exposing BLM would expose Hillary.

This is WHY this mysterious stuff continues to happen.

The BLM has no role in this any more. The prosecutions (of the Bundys and of Sheriff Arpaio) are entirely in the hands of Jeff Sessions' Department of Justice at this point.

What happened to their right to a speedy trial?

Right to a speedy trial?!! One guy.....I think it was Ammon Bundy* is in prison right down the road from me and he was told by the prosecutor that he’d get a trial in about 5 years. That was considered a speedy trial. I guess I’ve been reading the Constitution wrong all these years. I didn’t realize that it said “whatever the almighty government believe is a speedy trial...”

*I’m sorry, my memory is filled with holes, like swiss cheese, from the chemo I’ve taken the last 6 years. I even forgot to add on here that I forgot. sigh

I suffer from both chemo brain and brain fog from possible fibromyalgia- so I know the frustration you feel- I tell people “Of all the things I’ve lost in life, i miss my mind the most”- I used to have a really sharp memory- but nope- no more- I have to write myself notes now, and even then it’s no guarantee I’ll remember to look at the notes- Brain fog is like your brain wading through molasses trying to get to the memory you wish to recall- it’s exhausting!

Indeed the Justice Department is where the action is here and the action is all wrong......

You make an extraordinarily valuable point.

One must pray and meditate and then move forward with action.
