The Government never bought the land. It is NOT Federal Government Land.
It is state land. In 1993 Clintoon signed some sort of Federal Protective Species Act to ‘protect’ the tortoises.
Which included the tortoises on this land.
The Governments been fighting with him over it for 20 years.
But now that Harry Reid wants the land.. they’re going in with Guns blazing.
That does explain why this is happening now. He's invested in property and alternative power sources for a very long time...because he and other politicians are privy to where the action is before it's made public.....same with Pelosi.
Long term politicians fight ‘to retain their access’ to profitable investments to build their wealth.....while they redistribute ours across the nation and world. That's their motive for remaining in politics...it pays handsomely.
