One of the defendants, Pete Santilli, expressed his belief that once Donald Trump is president, the defendants will be free.
I hope that happens. I want it to happen.
I hope so too. And praying.
Seriously, can anyone really see Trump getting involved in this and undermining the authority of law enforcement and the courts? I sure don't.
By the way, was it ever revealed who exactly murdered Mr. Finicum (sp?)?
Rumors it was a female UN operative.
I have been counting on that happening...
President Trump should put freeing the Bundys at the top of his ‘to do’ list! Action should be taken to remove the federal judge. The lands should be returned to the state along with all government lands in all states.
Wonder if Wesley Clarke’s son will be organizing people to help the Bundys as he did in the Standing Rock riots. Probably not because the Bundys are White.
“One of the defendants, Pete Santilli, expressed his belief that once Donald Trump is president, the defendants will be free. “
Yes, I am also looking forward to Trump’s position on this matter, as well as what’s going on at Standing Rock in ND.
If he can successfully gut the fed gov of most of it’s leftist agency administrators, there could be some real changes.
This is where we are in this country; proclaim yourself a sanctuary city, you have noble views and are a hero for standing up to the man. Refuse on religious grounds to sign a marriage license for a gay couple and a federal judge will throw your ass in jail.
Stop a private company from building a perfectly legal pipeline using violence and intimidation, the government will force the company to stop construction; occupy a vacant federal building in peaceful protest against the government and the government will ambush you on the side of the road, kill those they can get away with, and prosecute the rest to the fullest extent of the law.
This is a Mess.
The correct response would be to pardon them, not to merely drop the charges. Even if BLM agents were way out of line (and they were!), those charged at best skirted the law in response. An executive pardon removes the legal threat without undermining the rule of law.
It has always been that the cattle are allowed to graze on Federal Lands next to private lands...Reid and the mob and China knew they couldn't get the ‘mineral rights’ to the Fed lands so the next best thing was the Bundy Ranch...so the Government henchmen were set out to harass them, and the people who are ranchers in Utah and Nevada decided differently...
Then the Hammond family in Oregon had the same situation...except Hillary Clinton knew there was ‘minerals’ on the Hammond Ranch and wanted the rights for Russia, as her and her husband with a guy from Canada gave Russia uranium rights...so out came the FBI and others and the Bundys knowing what was up, went up to help the Hammonds...and the day that a supposed FBI agent shot the guy, he was on his way to court...his wife and friend were in the truck and witnessed it...
This is our government folks, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, UN Agent 21...all of it...the mob, Dirty Harry Reid, China and Russia...and people think that Russia threw the election for Trump...how stupid do you have to be to believe the Globalist and New World Order communistic media???
History of the Bundy Ranch:
Back in 2012, the New American reported that Harry Reid’s son, Rory Reid, was the chief representative for a Chinese energy firm planning to build a $5-billion solar plant on public land in Laughlin, Nevada.
And journalist Marcus Stern with Reuters also reported that Sen. Reid was heavily involved in the deal as well.
“[Reid] and his oldest son, Rory, are both involved in an effort by a Chinese energy giant, ENN Energy Group, to build a $5 billion solar farm and panel manufacturing plant in the southern Nevada desert,” he wrote. “Reid has been one of the project’s most prominent advocates, helping recruit the company during a 2011 trip to China and applying his political muscle on behalf of the project in Nevada.”
“His son, a lawyer with a prominent Las Vegas firm that is representing ENN, helped it locate a 9,000-acre (3,600-hectare) desert site that it is buying well below appraised value from Clark County, where Rory Reid formerly chaired the county commission.”
Although these reports are in plain view, the mainstream media has so far ignored this link.
The BLM’s official reason for encircling the Bundy family with sniper teams and helicopters was to protect the endangered desert tortoise, which the agency has previously been killing in mass due to “budget constraints.”
“A tortoise isn’t the reason why BLM is harassing a 67 year-old rancher; they want his land,” journalist Dana Loesch wrote. “The tortoise wasn’t of concern when [U.S. Senator] Harry Reid worked with BLM to literally change the boundaries of the tortoise’s habitat to accommodate the development of his top donor, Harvey Whittemore.”
accommodate the development of his top donor, Harvey Whittemore.”
“Reid is accused of using the new BLM chief as a puppet to control Nevada land (already over 84% of which is owned by the federal government) and pay back special interests,” she added. “BLM has proven that they’ve a situational concern for the desert tortoise as they’ve had no problem waiving their rules concerning wind or solar power development. Clearly these developments have vastly affected a tortoise habitat more than a century-old, quasi-homesteading grazing area.”
“If only Cliven Bundy were a big Reid donor.”
Update: The Drudge Report, the #1 news aggregate site in the world, has now picked up this story. Unfortunately for the BLM, the documents they wanted to delete are now exposed for the world to see.

History of the Hammond Ranch:
Nice update thread- thanks.
BLM was going to kill those people at that gulch. Plain and simple.
“Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God”
Would you be supporting other Defs if they shouted “Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God”... and by God they meant Allah?
Maybe Trump will free everyone who has ever protested the US government, taken up arms against it, occupied public lands and facilities, and incited others to do the same. /s
I would like a new justice dept. to look at the Bundy issue with a fresh pair of eyes. I think that there is blame on both sides of the issue, but the matter is really fact intensive regarding the historical grazing use/rights.
The Western US has such a large percentage of our land being held by the govt. it is difficult for people used to private ownership of land in the East to easily understand just how aggressive the Feds have become during the Obama administration as opposed to how benign and cooperative the Feds used to behave over the past 100 years.
Only 17% of land in my county is owned by private owners; the rest, (83%) is govt.
