Too good not to post:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, whose personal financial stake in the Bundy eviction has been called into question, let it be known that he wants to see the matter pursued.
“Well, it’s not over,” Reid told NBC’s Nevada affiliate KRNV on Monday, April 14. “We can’t have an American people that violate the law and then just walk away from it. So it’s not over.”
Senator Reid, Nevada’s senior senator, is very incensed when the American people, i.e., ordinary citizens, “violate the law” — as he puts it — but he says nothing about the more serious violations of the laws and the Constitution by public officials, such as himself or the BLM officials.
This is the same federal BLM that Chief Judge Robert C. Jones of the Federal District Court of Nevada last year ruled had been engaged in a decades-long criminal “conspiracy” against the Wayne Hage family, fellow ranchers and friends of the Bundys. Among other things, Judge Jones accused the federal bureaucrats of racketeering under the federal RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corruption Organizations) statute, and accused them as well of extortion, mail fraud, and fraud, in an effort “to kill the business of Mr. Hage.” In fact, the government’s actions were so malicious, said the judge, as to “shock the conscience of the Court.” Judge Jones granted an injunction against the agencies and referred area BLM and Forest Service managers to the Justice Department for prosecution.
Has Attorney General Eric Holder prosecuted any federal officials for criminal activity and violation of the Hage family’s constitutionally protected rights? No. Has Sen. Harry Reid denounced this lawlessness and criminal activity by government officials and call upon President Obama and Attorney General Holder to protect the citizens of his state from the depredations of federal officials under their command? No.
The hypocrisy is unbelievable. And why does Rory Reid feel the need to insert himself and mouth off?
The Hage case in shocking. The Feds were attacking anyone who associated with Hage.
Using power in such a way is demonic.
Our post 17 is a must-read.
The Hage case is proof the BLM is out of control and needs to be reined in.
What is disgusting is the near total silence from the GOP in DC and in Nevada.
Between Bundy and the Lerner emails, the GOP has been handed a gold mine to hammer the Dems, Obama and Holder with.
But, they are at a conference to figure out how to fight the REAL enemy, the TEA Party.
And the Nevada GOP is too busy burning the platform planks dealing with social issues.
Spit.
