The folks in Portlandia saw an Oregon jury find two Bundy brothers not guilty last year in connection with the Oregon Standoff protest.

Now they are watching federal prosecution of the Bundy family members and others fall apart in Nevada amid lawbreaking by the federal prosecutors and quite likely others in the Bureau of Land Management and the FBI.

This is the spin from Portland media and reporter Maxine Bernstein of "OregonLive" who's done quite a job of reporting matters in both Oregon and Nevada.

Other media should devote the kind of attention to the story she has.

This all circles back to Harry Reid and his effort to get ranchers off of the land.

“How could prosecutors have lost sight of due process, one of the basic tenets of the legal system.....“

Simple. They never gave a **** about it in the first place.

Wow, another case of more winning. It is great to see the corruption in our legal system having light shine upon it.

Trump’s next campaign slogan needs to be more specific than MAGA or “Drain the Swamp.” Something like, “Prosecute the Corrupt Politicians.”

Rudy Giuliani, where are you when we need you?

I'd say a couple folks at the DOJ are going to get fired. I believe a big BLM dude has been fired. Let's see how many FBI folks get taken down with their disgusting behavior.

The problem with these cases is....you can't just say...let me take a look....you need some meat to chew on. Well, this ia one big bear for the DOJ to chew on.

The Fed side of it has been really bad ....just the Dan Love piece of it is horrific & there’s FBI special agent Astarita who lied about shooting at Finicum & was indicted, etc., & there was also lying about whether cameras/snipers were at the ranch ..... on & on. Terrible to think this sort of thing could go on in America. I think Sessions/DOJ is going to be very unhappy with what they find when they review the case/prosecutor’s work.

Isn’t it likely that this had to do with mining uranium and uranium 1?

The lead on this article should read “.....Every Citizens Protection!”
Prosecutors should have to serve the sentence that they are asking for in any trial where they are found to have maliciously prosecuted or withheld exculpatory evidence.

I found this in the comments to another article:

http://www.sltrib.com/news/nation-world/2017/12/22/bundy-mistrial-draws-sessions-probe-calls-for-broad-review/comments/#disqus_thread

2) You don’t get it.. Cliven Bundy has WATER RIGHTS to that land.. and he did not Renew his Contract with the BLM because the BLM was reducing his AUM (How they count heads of cattle) to a level that would not allow him to keep his water rights (Nevada has beneficial use rights - these rights are “able to be financed by the bank, like a house”... and you MUST show the STATE OF NEVADA that you are “using that water for the BENEFIT” of something.. e.g. Crops, Cattle, other Livestock — or you lose them - this re-certification is done every 5 years). The BLM wanted him to sign a contract that would reduce his AUM to a level that would not support his STATE Claim of Beneficial Water Rights. NO FEDERAL AGENCY Charged with *Managing* the “land” should be able to “make rules that put you out of business”! They have cattle, their home and their business are ALL wrapped up in that land.. That’s like a Leasing Agent you hired to come “Manage the property you rent out - coming and forcing YOU, the owner out of your own property”?? You are ok with that?? Humm seems like STEALING to me.

This is every prosecutor's nightmare

Getting caught?

Main justice is going to have a hard time salvaging this one. They are sending in their top guns.

I think this article misleads. Meaning, it tries to convince the reader that these “withheld” documents are the REASON this case failed!

No Sir!, this case failed because the government was WRONG about everything WAY BACK AT THE BEGINNING and when they got into court they discovered that their case was full of holes so they cheated to compensate! Pure and Simple............the Government F’d this whole case up from day one which was YEARS ago, THEY CAN’T WIN and it will be dismissed wish prejudice!

"I think it's an agency problem more than a prosecution problem,'' Robinson said. "I think sometimes agencies just don't understand what they need to show to prosecutors.''

Or maybe the agency in question (the FBI) is totally corrupt and untrustworthy

My fav from this, and the best part is he was representing himself which isn’t mentioned.

“The judge, for example, noted in her ruling how the prosecutors dismissed Ryan Bundy’s pretrial motion for information on “mysterious devices’’ outside his family ranch as “fantastical’’ and a “fishing expedition,’’ and shrugged off another defense request for a suspected federal investigative report into BLM agent Love, calling it “urban legend.’’ This month, the government turned over nearly 500 pages of internal affairs documents on Love.”

“When a judge makes a finding of misconduct by a prosecutor, the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Professional Responsibility investigates and determines if discipline is warranted, which can range from a reprimand to a suspension.......”

It should include capital punishment.

Why am I not surprised that some people believe President Trump or someone in his administration would do this to deliberately throw the case? Come on, it’s the FBI, among others, that screwed up. If President Trump interfered they’d be screaming bloody murder.

U.S. District Judge Gloria M. Navarro methodically listed the prosecution's six separate violations of the Brady law, which requires turning over evidence potentially favorable to the defense. The judge further ruled that each violation was willful.

SMH.
