The government force screwed up. Obviously they were supposed to kill all of the Bundy group. They probably should have dropped a bomb on them and then claimed the place blew up due to a gas leak.
Trump is a big fan of eminent domain, even for private purposes.
Sessions never bothered to pick it up.
Cousins to the "3-D Chess" crowd.
