I’m with the earlier poster who suggested the BATF is the next step, and they’ll “find” all sorts of things (bombs, raw explosives, illegal guns, Nazi literature) in a “raid” to separate the Rancher from his supporters. There won’t be a need to wait until after November.
You could be right, but because it’s Bundy most of his supporters are conservatives with common sense and an understanding of how the government works in all the things you mentioned.
My money is on waiting until after the election, and if it goes wrong it doesn’t hurt the democrats.
We shall see.
