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.
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.
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.

What happened to their right to a speedy trial?
