BUNDY RANCH: Prosecutors Face More Allegations In Cover-up Of BLM Agent Dan Love Misconduct

– Deb Jordan Las Vegas, Nevada #GoogleDanLove
BLM Special Agent In Charge [SAC] Daniel P. Love’s misconduct, hangs over the heads of Nevada Prosecutors like a rain cloud that follows them everywhere they go. SAC Love, who has been identified as the agent who was found guilty of misconduct after an investigation by the Inspector General’s Office, may have something else in his closet the Prosecutors kept hidden from the defense.
http://thepetesantillishow.com/wp-co...w-1024x683.jpg
It appears that in November of 2016 the internal affairs office at the BLM opened their own investigation on Mr. Love.
According to records, a memorandum from The US Department of The Interior dated November 2nd, 2016 and signed by the BLM Director of Law Enforcement Security Salvatore R. Lauro , was issued to SAC Love informing him of his immediate suspension from duty and directing him to turn in his uniforms, badges, and government issued firearms. Love was also stripped of his Law Enforcement Authority.
The suspended BLM Special Agent In Charge was being investigated internally for two extremely heinous acts.
The first offense on record was, that on more than one occasion Love ordered a subordinate to drive a government issued vehicle to run personal errands for him. There have been some outside reports claiming the subordinate found ancient indian artifacts in Love’s vehicle during this process, but the most egregious allegation was still to come.
After a raid on the Redd Family of Blanding, Utah, that also involved several other collectors of ancient indian artifacts in the surrounding area, Love demanded the Utah Department of The Interior Evidence Custodian to retrieve several of the artifacts from the evidence room so he could display them on his desk. The internal investigation also states that Love gave at least several BLM Agents and one private contractor “Moqui Marbles” to keep as a trophy after the 2006 raid he and FBI Special Agent Greg Bretzing called, Operation Cerberus.
http://thepetesantillishow.com/wp-co...K1xChCHRA.jpeg
Funeral Of Dr. James Redd
This act was not only unlawful, but some would say a direct indication to how dark the soul of Daniel P. Love really is. Dr. James Redd, after being brutally assaulted and interrogated for hours by Daniel Paul Love, took his own life, as did the informant Ted Gardiner – who set the sting into motion; One other victim also killed himself after the highly ridiculed militarized Operation Cerberus. Many Utah residents and elected officials still accuse Dan Love of bullying Dr. James Redd to death.
Odd that Agents Love and Bretzing chose to call their sting “Operation Cerberus after a successful Hitler directive during World War II” in which three trapped German Warships in the English Channel successfully out-thought and out-manuverd the English to get away. The German military would later call Operation Cerberus a “tactical victory (but) a strategic defeat” a ominous quote that would dictate public perception of Daniel P. Love and Greg Bretzing’s careers, for years to come.
According to a letter penned by Utah Congressman Jason Chaffetz to the Office of The Inspector General, there are more questions raised by their investigation of SAC Love than answered. http://thepetesantillishow.com/wp-co...tz-300x200.jpg
The letter indicates that Love not only threatened people in his office while demanding they lie during the investigation, but he also had an employee shred and destroy untold amounts of evidence in the form of documents and hard-drives containing internal emails the day before a congressional inquiry was to begin scrutinizing the office Love had now become in charge of. BLM Director Neil Kornze is suspected of giving Agent Love the “heads-up” before that investigation could take place, prompting him to destroy the most critical documents the IGO was looking for. During the first trial for Bundy co-defendants, Toni Ziminski, the communications director for the Bundy cattle confiscation, admitted she shredded documents at the compound and somehow lost vital recorded records of radio transmissions because somehow the hard drive that ran the recording device had mysteriously come unplugged. Ziminski was never asked if Dan Love had told her to shred vital documents, nor was she asked if Dan Love had asked her to unplug the hard-drive. Both would have been fair questions had the defense known Daniel P. Love had given that order before.
The United States Government has a long history of “covering up” for their Special Agent in Charge Daniel P. Love from 2006 to date, and that fact could not be made any clearer than by what is NOT being allowed to be entered as evidence, and who is NOT allowed to be called to the stand, in the Case of USA vs Cliven Bundy et al —
Former Secret Service Agent Rand Stover turned BLM Agent, took the stand in early February during what the Press has dubbed “The Bundy Ranch Trials” in a feeble attempt to begin what would be a long line of BLM and FBI agents who ineffectively tried to become, “the Prosecution and Judge approved” stymied voice of Daniel P. Love. Because the Prosecution had hidden the facts surrounding the OIG investigation and pending Congressional inquiry, the defense was ill prepared to ask Agent Stover whether or not he too was involved in the investigations.
The record reflects Agent Stover was a vital participant in the scheme to help Dan Love insure the employment of a former US Marshal and their friend, Mark Jucha, to the BLM. Stover was in charge of the interviewing process that allowed only the top 10 applicants to interview for the job; Jucha was not among the top 10. Love, with help from Stover, suspended the rules of hiring to include the top 30 applicants and made it possible for Jucha to be interviewed and hired over those who were better qualified for the job. Stover would later admit that he followed the order of Daniel P. Love to expand the interview process to include Mark Jucha because after all, “Love was the Special Agent in Charge” and it was his department.
Since the Bundy Ranch trial began prosecutors and Judge Gloria Navarro have been accused of at least five incidents of prosecutorial misconduct for with-holding evidence that resulted in the Jury not hearing the facts surrounding the case. Two of those accusations directly involve the cover-up of the investigation of The Inspector General, and the United States Congress inquiry into the misconduct of Daniel P. Love, to which he was eventually found guilty. It is still unclear exactly what the Congressional investigation was for.
During the trial the revelation that co-defendant Gregory Burleson had once been a paid FBI informant, and that two of his former handlers had taken the stand to testify for the prosecution, set off an explosion for motions to dismiss the case based on the fact Burleson and his attorney Terrance Jackson, had been allowed to attend meetings with other c0-defendants including Cliven Bundy himself, where case strategy had been discussed. The motions were denied.
http://thepetesantillishow.com/wp-co...r-1024x512.jpgFBI Agent Charles Johnson
In a recent article by the intercept.com, reporting on a story out of Glendale, Colorado, the public was informed that FBI undercover agent “Charles Johnson” was arrested for impersonating a private investigator. Johnson alleged during his interrogation by Glendale Police, that he had been hired by a journalist to question community officials and the owner of a piece of property the town needed to develop a entertainment district. Locals said they considered the agents line of questioning harassing, as often times he would show up late at night without warning to press hard for information. After his arrest “Agent Johnson” was documented as having three separate I.D.’s on his person that indicated he was a resident in three different States, one of which was an address in Nashville Tennessee. One business card he had in his possession bearing his name, was that of the known fake media/documentary company called “Long Bow Productions” used by the FBI to infiltrate and record the Bundy family and other participants during the protest in 2014. During the first trial concerning USA vs Cliven Bundy et al, he took the stand under the assumed name “Charles Johnson” to testify for the government against defendants who had no clue he was under investigation in Colorado for once again pretending to be something he was not. In a must hear interview with Peter Boyles, the writer of the article featured on The Intercept, journalist Trevor Aaronson said he had contacted the FBI and the DOJ to enquire as to whether or not they had informed attorney’s about the information on the Charles Johnson’s arrest – The FBI never returned his call.
To date the BLM, the OIG, and Daniel P. Love admit there have been eight separate investigations by the OIG into Love’s conduct since Bundy Ranch, with only one of those investigations being made public.
Defendants in the Bundy case would like to know what information initiated those investigations, and if any of those investigations included his misconduct during the Bundy Ranch cattle confiscation and subsequent misconduct during the protest.
It will also be interesting to know what other information the prosecution has hidden under their skirts that should by all that is decent, require the Attorney General Jeff Sessions to dismiss this case.

Pete Santilli is the Cincinnati talk show host/journalist who traveled to Bunkerville, Nevada to cover the story of Cliven Bundy and the fact the Bureau Of Land Management had surrounded his family with over 200 armed Federal Agents. These armed agents were violating civil-rights and Pete Santilli caught them on video. That video was aired by Fox News the following day and a Nation responded. Pete still holds it to be true that the BLM was poised to kill the Bundy family and it was his duty as a journalist to expose that truth. Pete went to Bundy Ranch with nothing more than an an iPad and determination to tell the truth.

Pete Santilli faces life in prison because he dared criticize the United States Government and the henchmen authorized to brutalize the Bundy Family.
This past September 6th, 2016 a case was dismissed against Pete in Oregon after the Prosecution said the Government lacked the evidence to prove the FBI’s claim he acted outside his role as a journalist while reporting on the attempted Adverse Possession of The Malheur Wildlife Refuge located in Harney County Oregon. Pete spent 8 months in jail awaiting that trial. He now awaits trial in Nevada and has been in jail for almost two years.

Trials and Protests ~ Shari Dovale and John Lamb with an update from Pahrump, Nevada
Trials and Protests – Update from Pahrump!
PROSECUTORS ARE ASKING FOR “TERRORISM” ENHANCEMENTS AT SENTENCING FOR TODD ENGEL.

Trials and Protests – Update from Pahrump!
By Shari Dovale and John Lamb
Lots of news coming out of Nevada this week.
The first tier of Bunkerville defendants are awaiting a status hearing next week, mostly for motions and other items related to the re-trial of their case.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...l1-150x150.jpg
Todd Engel (photo: Facebook)
The prosecutors have said that they will not be charging Todd Engel or Greg Burleson again on the charges the jury deadlocked over. Each was found guilty on lesser charges and are scheduled for sentencing in July.
Engel was found guilty of two charges and the Prosecutors are asking for “Terrorism” enhancements for his sentencing. He is now facing a possible 30 years in prison, due to these enhancements
Burleson was found guilty of 8 out of 10 possible charges and faces a total of 57 years in prison. The prosecutors are not asking for the same terrorism enhancements against Burleson.
The remaining four defendants will be re-tried beginning June 26, 2017. The second tier defendants, which include Cliven Bundy, will not begin their trial until 30 days after this one is completed. The trial is expected to take up to another couple of months, so the second trial is not expected before September at the earliest, more likely October or November.
This will put the trial of the third tier defendants out until next Spring. Most of these defendants have been in custody over 470 days now. This will put their pre-trial incarceration to 2 years, in most cases.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...us-150x150.jpg
Jerry DelemusJerry Delemus was one of the first defendants to reach a plea arrangement with the government. Based on reports, he was coerced into making the agreement as his friends and family were targeted for arrest if he did not agree.
As soon as the first Oregon trial ended in October 2016, Delemus filed for a hearing to have his plea changed. He has waited for months to get his hearing.
Judge Gloria Navarro has finally ruled that Delemus will not receive a hearing and has scheduled him for sentencing later this month.
Reports are surfacing that Blaine Cooper is expected to testify against all of the defendants in Nevada. Cooper has stated that he will cooperate in order to get a reduced sentence for himself. Prosecutors have suggested a six year sentence for Cooper.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...bar-300x67.gif
Camp Liberty is holding strong despite the ferocious winds that prevail. They have raised, at last count, over $25,000 for the defense of Ammon Bundy. They continue to protest, and are garnering support from the local community.
Though they had originally set up camp on the roadside across from the Pahrump Detention facility, and had been there for couple of weeks, the acting under-sheriff paid them a visit this week. Though he was polite about his message, he was very clear that they had 24 hours to get a permit or leave, as they now faced trespassing charges.
A local Patriot came to their aid and gave them leave to camp on their property, which is actually a better location right behind the Facility. They have set up and been supplied with all the food they can eat. The only thing they might be needing is basic camping supplies for those that did not bring enough, such as sleeping bags and tents. Tarps would also be nice to use as wind breaks.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...nd-300x250.jpg
But the government keeps trying to throw curve balls at the protesters. Earlier this week, Brand Thornton attempted to visit the prisoners in the facility. Many of you may remember that Judge Anna Brown in Oregon has dubbed him “Mr. Shofar”.
Thorton had his shofar with him when the guards decided it was a dangerous weapon, and even called it a bow-and-arrow. A SWAT team surrounded him and he has now been banned from the facility completely.
CoreCivic (formerly known as CCA) is a privately contracted company to run the Southern Nevada Detention Facility in Pahrump, as well as other facilities. This facility is strictly a holding place for those that have not been to trial, or not been sentenced. From here, the prisoners get moved to permanent locations.
It must be considered low security as many of the “guards” are only armed with batons and pepper spray. There are very few guards with firearms.
However,these glorified rent-a-cops have allowed power to take them over, They use this power against prisoners, and now the protesters.
They have filed multiple false reports of protesters violating their space. Violations that include (falsely) that protesters stepped across the boundary lines and onto prison property, or that protesters slapped a moving prison bus. These reports are going nowhere, as it has been proven by video that they are false. Yet, the guards continue to attempt heartache with more reports.
The protesters will not give up easily though. For now they are camped behind the prison, making daily treks around the compound in their “Jericho March.”
They continue to raise money and see support from the local residents. The can receive mail from the postmaster, addressed to:
Camp Liberty
1776 East Mesquite Avenue
Pahrump, NV 89048
They are accepting 2 types of donations. First for the defense of the prisoners, and second for the continued protest. They do not need much for their stand outside the prison, however, they do provide transportation help to others that would like to come and be a part of the protest.

The Effrontery of Frontline “AMERICAN PATRIOT”
FRONTLINE MOVES ALONG ITS WHEELS LUBRICATED BY FEDERAL FUNDING, SUPPORTING THEIR SPONSOR’S AGENDA.

Confronting the Effrontery of the Frontline Report:
“AMERICAN PATRIOT”
by Loren Edward Pearce“For the Bundy family, the wheels of justice had finally started to turn.”
~From the Frontline transcript.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...rd-150x150.jpgPUTTING BIG BIRD OUT OF WORK
For many people, Frontline is the gold standard of objective and unbiased investigative journalism.
Frontline cannot help but be biased, given the source of its funding, which includes a big chunk of financial support from the federal government. During the presidential debates between Romney and Obama, the comment was made by Romney that government had no legitimate purpose to be funding PBS and that he would make cuts to PBS including one of his favorite characters, Big Bird on Sesame Street, rather than borrow more money from China. Peeling away the humor, the dark side to this is that government, through its financial clout, has huge leverage over what PBS produces.
What is the main theme of the Bundy position? Federal government over reach, federal government abuses, federal government violations of the original intent of the constitution. Everything that the Bundys stand for are in direct opposition to one of the main supporters of PBS. The federal team (including Big Bird) have a vested interest in a big, federal government including the 12,000 BLM employees and their 100’s of thousands of brothers and sisters in the alphabet soup of federal agencies.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...un-300x226.jpg
Like a blind person seeing the sun for the first time, a cursory reading of the Federalist papers brilliantly displays the obvious departure from what the Founders had in mind, including the most ardent advocate of centralized government of that time, and what we have today. So vastly different is the federal government today from what the Founders envisioned, that those who want to return to an originalist view of the constitution, like the Bundys, are considered “extremists” and “domestic terrorists”.
The Frontline report on the Bundys, was heavy on the theme of lawlessness and extremism. The good guys (well groomed, polished and official sounding government) versus the Bundys, represented as unhinged, fanatical, misguided threat to the American dream, a dream that included PBS and Big Bird.
THE FIRST CASUALTY OF WAR IS THE TRUTH
Frontline, drawing its name from a wartime analogy, the frontline of battle, implies that to get at the truth, one must be on the frontlines, where the action is. But, it depends on which frontline, the one drawn by the enemy or the one drawn by your sponsors?
There is no such thing as neutral, unbiased, war correspondents. A journalist can report on a controversial subject involving polarized parties, and the journalist will choose sides, the side that most favors the journalist’s own biases and ideologies. It is human nature. The bias is exacerbated by the pressure to conform to their financial supporter’s agenda, in this case, the federal government.

GREG BRETZING’S FATALLY FLAWED FRONTLINE FRAUD
Greg Bretzing, the FBI’s special agent in charge in Oregon at the time, was one of the most quoted in the Frontline report. Ironically, Bretzing, like Ammon Bundy, is a Mormon and both of them had given two years of their lives in voluntary missionary service. Both are clean cut, and well spoken. But, that is where the similarities end.
Bretzing, representing the arch enemy of the Bundys, the unconstitutional part of the federal government, where even the constitutional pedigree of the FBI is challengeable, toed the government line perfectly. Claiming that what Ammon Bundy did was clearly and obviously illegal, Bretzing came across as being “tactically patient” so as to avoid another Waco and Ruby Ridge. However, comments made by Bretzing in describing the shooting of LaVoy Finicum, betray his insincerity in claiming something that appears to be a flat out lie.
Bretzing, while feigning some kind of regret over the death of Finicum (another Mormon), explained that Finicum was repeatedly warned to “stop reaching”, to stop reaching for the left jacket pocket and that after several such warnings, Finicum refused to stop reaching and was shot in justifiable homicide. The key to the government’s justifiable homicide, as cited by Bretzing, is the claim that Finicum was reaching for a gun in his left, inside Denham jacket pocket and was fatally shot after several warnings.
Bretzing’s claims are fatally flawed, claims that an objective Frontline should have been on top of:
- The audio from Shawna Cox’s phone does not pick up any warning orders from law enforcement officers (LEO) before they shot him. However, it did pick up the voice of Finicum as he moved away from the truck. The LEO were within a few feet of Finicum, yet their voices could not be heard, and Finicum’s voice could be heard. If they gave him a chance with warnings, why are their voices not clearly heard?
- The elapsed time between when Finicum exited his truck and then was shot, is so brief as to not allow more than 1 or 2 warnings, if there were any.
- A lethal, high powered bullet came crashing through the roof of the truck and smashed the window where Finicum was standing, his left side parallel to the window. No warning could be heard prior to that lethal shot. The broken window was now open for better audio on Cox’s phone but nothing could be heard except Finicum’s voice and the shots that silenced him.
- The most incriminating fact against Bretzing and the government was the lack of body and dash cam coverage by law enforcement. No radio transmissions have been offered and there is a complete lack of video which goes against everything taught in police academy and in police manuals. The Oregon State Police and the FBI are regular users of these tools, but no video or audio, which is standard operating procedure, has been offered by Bretzing for either the first stop and/or the subsequent road block. Body and dash cams are the officers best friends, unless they want to hide something.
- The proof that the microphone was sufficiently sensitive on Cox’s phone to pick up voices is given when, after all the shooting, the surviving passengers are ordered out of the truck. Then the voices of LEO could be heard loud and clear.
- Evidence has come out that the pistol that Finicum was allegedly reaching for, could have been planted on him by the LEO after his death. While not conclusive, the evidence is compelling enough to warrant further investigation. None of that was mentioned by Frontline.
- In the Bretzing Frontline fraud, he conveniently failed to mention the fact that the FBI special hostage agents at the scene were under investigation for firing unauthorized shots at Finicum and the vehicle, including the roof shot that broke the window, and that there was evidence of a carefully made cover-up by the same FBI agents. With almost a year and half since the shooting, the results of that investigation have yet to be revealed.
The smooth faced, well-groomed, appearance of legitimacy, on the part of government actors, whether in the courtroom by dark suited prosecutors, or by Bretzing of the FBI, hide an obvious disdain for the truth and the need to lie on behalf of the greater good of the team, the federal government team in cooperation with Frontline.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...en-150x150.jpg
RELISHING AND RELYING ON THE IRRELEVANT RACIST COMMENTS BY CLIVEN BUNDY
To further support the federal government narrative, Frontline found it necessary to refer to the alleged racist comments of Cliven Bundy. Playing clips from various mainstream news commentators, Frontline said there was a “stampede away from Cliven Bundy” after he made comments about “the negro”.
One of the most common fallacies in critical thinking, the Red Herring fallacy, is where an opponent in an argument throws out something that is irrelevant, a red herring, in an attempt to distract the audience and make them discard the core argument.
Frontline was guilty of this egregious fallacy of critical thinking by reporting on Cliven’s alleged racism, unrelated to the core argument of BLM’s illegal practices at Bunkerville. Whether Cliven is a racist or not, is not relevant to the bigger issue of federal government unconstitutionality, overreach and abuse. But, the argument of relevancy is only applicable to the federal team if it promotes their agenda.
As one who knows the Bundy family, this writer can definitively say that Cliven Bundy is not a racist. When I was in Bunkerville, I met a black couple who were there to support the Bundys. That couple along with many other black people have been welcomed in the Bundy home. The Bundys are warm and generous people, making all visitors feel welcome, including blacks. To understand Cliven’s comments, one needs to understand the context.
In the Longbow film, Cliven said he has always been an outdoors person, not for recreation but for work. His sons talk about their dad’s work ethic, building many water installations that were later destroyed by the BLM. Cliven values hard work. When Cliven said it may be better to be out picking cotton than sitting on a porch in government housing receiving welfare, he was thinking of himself, that for him it would be a nightmare not to be able to work and to have to be dependent on government for support.
Cliven was not criticizing blacks, he was criticizing the federal government that makes it disproportionately easy for people of color to get welfare. The vast, government managed welfare system is one more example of how the federal government has exceeded its enumerated powers as found in the constitution.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...ve-150x150.jpg
DANIEL P. LOVE, THE LARGE PIECE OF THE PUZZLE FRONTLINE REFUSED TO SEE
The Frontline report, while focusing on Cliven Bundy’s alleged racial comments, failed to mention Dan Love. So conspicuous was the absence of Dan Love in the Frontline report, that it could be compared to Frontline claiming to have finished a 1000 piece puzzle while leaving out several hundred pieces. Dan Love had everything to do with the events of Bunkerville. His role in the events that shaped Bunkerville and its aftermath, was so glaring that it could be argued that his role was even more prominent than Bretzing’s, the darling of the Frontline report.
Dan Love was the special agent in charge of the BLM at Bunkerville. It was Dan Love that orchestrated everything. It was Dan Love who confronted Ammon Bundy and who confronted Pete Santilli, both now in prison, without any verdict of guilt. It was Love’s testimony that was essential for the grand jury indictment. It was Dan Love who ordered the BLM agents to stand their ground, in opposition to orders from local law enforcement for BLM to stand down.
It is Dan Love who is being investigated for ethics and other violations. Those investigations are highly relevant to his credibility as a witness and for the opportunity to impeach his testimony.
But, true to its role in supporting the government narrative, Frontline must have read the order from Nevada federal district judge Gloria Navarro in which she declared that any testimony or contribution by Dan Love to the trial of the defendants, was not relevant. Link To art on Navarro blocking love testimony Such exclusion of Dan Love by both Frontline and Navarro is tantamount to excluding the testimony of law enforcement who confronted Lee Harvey Oswald in the Kennedy assassination.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...ce-150x150.jpg
THE WHEELS OF JUSTICE
In its final display of rampant bias, the Frontline report ends with the words, “For the Bundy family, the wheels of justice had finally started to turn.” The assumption being promoted by Frontline, was that justice was finally being served. Justice is defined as, “fair play, correct, aligned with truth, lack of bias”. The Frontline report is based on a false assumption that the federal team was employing principles of fair play and impartiality. Like a wolf disguised as a sheep, the Frontline report portrays that which is good as being bad and that which is bad as being good.
The wheels are intended to take one to the truth, extracting the truth like a miller’s grinding wheel extracts flour. The wheels go where ever the truth takes them in order to meet the ends of justice.
A more correct comparison would be, “the wheels of Catherine”, also known as breaking wheels where an accused criminal was placed on the wheel and their bones broken. In early courts, an accused’s guilt was often determined by how well they endured the pain or how fast they healed from the test of torture. A presumption of guilt was used by subjecting the accused to torture in an attempt to confirm guilt or in the much less likely event, innocence. It was this horrific practice that led Blackstone and Franklin to declare that a presumption of innocence was the bedrock principle of jurisprudence
In courts today, accused, but not guilty, are placed in prison where they endure torture until they finally confess their guilt through a plea deal. Such is the actual real life experiences of the Bundy family and their supporters, who, just like the victims of the dark ages, must endure pain, humiliation, sexual abuse and denial of constitutional rights such as a Speedy Trial and the right to a presumption of innocence until proven guilty.
Proving that the atrocities of the dark ages are not extinct, Prosecutor Myhre, in a display of Orwellian double speak that would make Orwell blush, openly declared that the government had 5 years to delay trial and still be considered “speedy”. Frontline failed to go there.
Wheels of injustice indeed, wheels that will come off the federal government’s wagon if justice is ever allowed and things as they really are, are exposed. Until then, Frontline moves along its wheels lubricated by Federal funding, supporting their sponsor’s agenda.

Federal employees talked about the “crazies” from across the United States who were coming to Bunkerville to support rancher Cliven Bundy. After corralling Bundy’s free-roaming “trespass” cattle from the Gold Butte range in 2014, agents were bracing for a violent confrontation.
Some employees feared for their lives as suggestive threats surfaced and were circulated among Interior Department and law enforcement officials, according to emails obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal through a Freedom of Information Act request.
After more than two years of gathering, redacting and delaying release of the documents, the Bureau of Land Management this week provided the newspaper with more than 400 pages of blacked-out emails and reports.
The newspaper contends so much requested information is missing that the BLM response lacks the transparency required by the act.
“ ‘Better late than never’ doesn’t cut it when it comes to the release of public records,” Review-Journal Editor Keith Moyer said. “But it’s especially intolerable when the government takes years to provide documents that can’t be read because they’re so heavily redacted. The Interior Department’s response in no way satisfies our FOIA request and leaves far too many questions about the 2014 Bunkerville standoff unanswered.”
Review-Journal attorney Maggie McLetchie said, “FOIA was designed to ensure openness in government. We are studying the BLM’s response and considering future options.”
The documents show the BLM was not only worried about 2,000 self-styled militia descending on a corral near Bunkerville, where about 350 head of Bundy’s cattle were impounded along the Virgin River, but bureau and National Park Service public affairs staff also were preparing now-censored scripts to deal with the media if something tragic happened.
The emails say that federal agents overheard at a Wal-Mart in nearby Mesquite, 75 miles northeast of Las Vegas, that a protest by 2,000 people was mounting.
ROUNDUP’S COST
The newspaper sought emails that were copied to BLM District Manager Tim Smith, BLM Director Neil Kornze and then-Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie.
The FOIA request, which consolidated two previous requests received by the BLM on April 13, 2014, hours after the standoff ended, also sought documents about the cost of the failed $1 million effort to remove Bundy’s cattle from the range and sell them at auction.
Those documents show the BLM reduced a fraction of the $966,000 contract for a helicopter-roundup outfit because the detail to impound and truck the Gold Butte range cattle north to Utah had been cut short “for safety reasons.”
Not counting personnel costs or costs racked up by the FBI and other participating federal agencies, nearly $1 million was spent on the helicopter roundup and impoundment of Bundy’s cattle, including an invoice for more than $16,000 for command post trailers provided by Modular Space Corp. in Berwyn, Pennsylvania.
The newspaper had sought credit card records, money transfer records and other charges that were paid through BLM and Interior Department accounts, but none were provided in the documents released by the BLM.
An order for a helicopter company was placed Feb. 7, 2014, by the BLM’s Las Vegas Field Office. It called for a cost that “shall not exceed $966,000” based on a rate of $700 per head, or $770,000 for a possible 1,100 head; feed and care at $8 per head for $44,000; and transportation at $4.50 per mile.
After the armed standoff ended April 12, 2014, when BLM agents allowed Bundy’s supporters to release all the cattle from the corral, the contract was partially terminated “for convenience … due to unsafe site conditions and …” The end of that sentence was blacked out.
As a result, the order’s amount was reduced by about $126,767 to $839,233.
The contractor’s name and address were redacted under Freedom of Information Act exemptions that protect unwarranted invasion of personal privacy in law enforcement records and a determination by BLM FOIA Officer Ryan Witt that releasing the information “could reasonably be expected to endanger the life or physical safety of any individual,” according to the BLM’s May 12 letter that accompanied the redacted documents.
THREATS TO BLM EMPLOYEES
BLM officials were leery of threats of physical harm to employees, according to some emails.
One handwritten note that begins, “Dear Feds,” was faxed among Interior Department officials. “I’m angry that you feel you can steal a ranch that has been this man’s family since the 1800s,” the letter reads. “Stop Now! before there is blood shed!
“How dare you! think you can do this because you have badges + guns does not give you the right to behave unconstitutionally …. We the People have had enough of the Government gangs and their Brutal actions against the public,” reads the letter that was forwarded April 10, 2014, two days before the standoff ended, to undisclosed recipients in the Interior Department.
Then-U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., in one staff memo, offered “congrats” to the BLM’s Bundy detail team.
But for what and to whom is unclear because most of the email and purchase documents the BLM provided are either blacked out entirely or heavily redacted. Twenty-two pages out of 442 “were withheld in full,” and 359 pages were withheld “in part.” Many of those pages, however, show only a date, a few words and an agency logo.
Five days after the standoff ended, Reid publicly described Bundy’s supporters as “nothing more than domestic terrorists.”
One memo said, “Several crazies are arriving daily from out of state to support the Bundys, and he is afraid these actions by the government will incite violence from one of the aforementioned crazies.
“He would like reporters or representatives of the government to be alongside BLM and their subcontractors to witness the round-up and provide in-partial 3rd party verification of what is happening. — April 8,” reads the memo that doesn’t identify who “he” is.
Another BLM email spells out the dangers of the roundup.
“I have hoped for a peaceful operation, however it appears that isn’t happening,” reads the email written on Sunday, April 6, 2014, at 7:30 a.m.
“I’m not feeling good about the protests planned partly because of the compound 1st amendment area. Imagine the pickets on the LV Strip on hwy 170,” the email reads.
“The BLM failure to attend a scheduled Bunkerville Town Board meeting has set the tone. That and a couple reported incidents (alleged guns drawn) have escalated this beyond what should be occurring,” it says.
Before the standoff ended, Bundy supporters had pointed rifles at the contingent of law enforcement personnel from an array of federal agents who were prepared to fire their weapons.
Little did BLM officials know at the time that this would be a prelude to the January 2016 occupation of a wildlife refuge in east Oregon that ended after a militia spokesman and Bundy’s friend, LaVoy Finicum, was shot dead by troopers after he tried to evade a roadblock.
On Feb. 10, five days after Bundy led a horseback procession at Finicum’s funeral in Kanab, Utah, he was arrested in Oregon on his way to support the wildlife refuge protest. He was returned to Las Vegas and jailed to face federal charges in connection with the April 2014 standoff in Bunkerville.
In all, 19 defendants, including Bundy and four of his sons, face felony charges including conspiracy, obstruction, extortion and assault in connection with the April 2014 standoff with law enforcement. They are all in federal custody with a trial set to start on Feb. 6.
In an interview six months after the standoff, Bundy told the Review-Journal, “One backfire of a vehicle, one firecracker, one somebody makes a crazy gunshot. It was that close, and it could have been either side’s fault. … It could have been We-The-People’s fault, or it could have been the government agency’s fault.”

Re: Armed Feds Prepare For Showdown With Nevada Cattle Rancher
Recently I was presented with proof of the treason going on in the current government. A U.S. marshal made a declaration in my presence "There is no country of Iowa". A government does not deny the existence of its' own body politic. The independent countries that form the federation styling itself "The United States of America" exist or The United States of America doesn't.
Besides, I think there is a conspiracy to screw me out of the $5 U.S. note I still hold that helped finance the (un)civil war.
Trump is going to have his hands full.
Re: Armed Feds Prepare For Showdown With Nevada Cattle Rancher
The feds are changing their strategy to try and get a conspiracy conviction
Feds Plan to Use Participation in III% Militia and Oath Keepers as Evidence of Conspiracy in Bundy Ranch Retrial
Tim Brown
The attorneys and Judge Gloria Navarro demonstrate that they have no shame in what they will do in their relentless pursuit of men charged with multiple accounts from the Bundy Ranch siege 2014. In the latest move by the prosecution, they are seeking to use participation in their stand at Sugar Pine Mine in April 2015, the White Hope Mine in August 2015 and membership in the Idaho III% militia against them in a retrial set for this summer.
In April, the jury found Greg Burleson and Todd Engel guilty on several charges against them but was a hung jury when it came to the charges against Richard Lovelien, Scott Drexler, Eric Parker, and Steven Stewart. While the prosecution has sought to dismiss the remaining charges against Burleson and Engel for retrial, claiming it would save the court and the government time, they remain unwilling to do so for the other four men, whom they failed to make a case against so that the jury would find them guilty. In fact, their case was so poor, that documents from the jury indicate that they were leaning towards a verdict of "Not Guilty" on the most serious charges of conspiracy.
In the latest move by the prosecution, they are seeking to introduce evidence, which they claim is "of intent, preparation, plan, knowledge, identity, absence of mistake, modus operandi, and /or lack of accident."hod
The prosecution claims the evidence is "inextricably intertwined with, the conspiracy charged in the Superseding Indictment."
That's interesting since they didn't bring this "evidence" in the first trial, but I digress.
So, what evidence did they cite? According to the filing submitted on Friday, they are going to point to some of the defendants being involved at stands they took at Sugar Pine Mine in April 2015 and White Hope Mine in August 2015, as well as being members in the Idaho III% militia.
According to the prosecution, "The government intends to introduce evidence that, following the events of April 12, 2014, defendants Eric Parker, Steven Stewart, and Scott Drexler joined a militia group referring to themselves as the Idaho chapter of the "III%." As part of their membership, they participated in two additional "operations" (discussed further below) whereby they threatened to use force and /or presented a show of force, on the public lands to prevent federal officers from taking enforcement actions in those areas. Defendant Parker also subsequently shared on social media photographs of himself participating in the events of April 12, 2014, over which the "III%" logo appears to be superimposed."
OK, fine. What's the problem here? These guys joined after the Bundy Ranch siege, not before it! This should not be allowed to be evidence against them as a "conspiracy" at Bundy Ranch. Second, the militia is constitutional, as the Second Amendment affirms, and furthermore, the militia is the very entity charged in the Constitution with law enforcement, not "federal officers."
Listed in Article 2 of the US Consitution are the enumerated powers of Congress. Among those powers is the authority to call up the militia, something they don't seem to want to do any more today, in a similar manner to using letters of marque and reprisal, which were used during the Barbary Wars. Instead, they want to maintain a standing army, which has to be renewed every two years per the Constitution but is something our founding fathers warned against.
The Congress shall have Power To ...provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions.... ARTICLE I, SECTION 8, CLAUSE 15
Second, the prosecution said they would be bringing evidence in of "Operation Gold Rush" at Sugar Pine Mine.
"On or about April 2015, defendants Eric Parker and Scott Drexler traveled to a mining site located on land administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Josephine County, Oregon," government prosecutors wrote. "As members of the Idaho III% group, Parker and Drexler, along with others affiliated with the "Oath Keepers" and "III%er" groups, conducted armed patrols and presented as a show of force in order to prevent federal officers from entering the property and taking any regulatory efforts with respect to the mine."

One thing is interesting about the mention of Oath Keepers here is that the founder of Oath Keepers, Stewart Rhodes, was at Bundy Ranch, but we don't see him arrested and awaiting trial, do we? I have it on good authority that but we don't see him arrested and awaiting trial, do we? I have it on good authority that Rhodes was the one that put out the bogus information regarding a potential drone strike at Bundy Ranch. In the past, Rhodes has seemingly deflected guilt for the murder of a US veteran in broad daylight at the hands of the Pima County Sheriff's Department despite claims to want to fight against tyranny. However, there are plenty of faithful veterans who have taken the title and joined his Oath Keepers organization and many who will not join, but take seriously their oath, because they believe it to be a controlled opposition organization, whether it is or not.
However, what should be understood here is that there was merely a seeking to enforce the laws of the land, as our Constitution does not give privilege to the central government in ownership of the land without the express consent of the state legislature, which has never occurred. The criminal activity that was going on at Sugar Pine Mine was that which was engaged by the agents under the direction of the Department of the Interior, just like at Bundy Ranch and just like at White Hope Mine, which is where the next bit of evidence the prosecution claims to bring forth comes from.
"'Operation Big Sky' - On or about August 2015, defendants Eric Parker and Scott Drexler traveled to a mining site located on land administered by the United States Forest Service ("USFS") in the area of Lincoln, Montana," the prosecution wrote. "They responded to the mine as part of an "operation" led by the "Oath Keepers" and "III%ers" to prevent federal officers from enforcing federal regulations with respect to the mining operation through a show of force that included, among other things, maintaining a military-style security operation at the mine site and threatening to arrest federal officers."
Again, I ask, if federal officers are violating the Constitution, is it not the job of American citizens, specifically those in the militia to "execute the Laws of the Union" per the Constitution? I realize that Congress did not call them up, but can't we all agree that Congress is complicit in these land grabs and the establishment of these unconstitutional agencies?
Finally, I'd just like to point out the hypocrisy here in going all over the map to bring in evidence of an alleged conspiracy, but the Court will not allow the defense to call the government's star witness and all around thug in the case, Daniel P. Love, to the stand, who was found guilty of misconduct by the Inspector General and suspended from his job at the BLM by the Department of Interior in October 2016.
The feds do not want their own crimes, unconstitutionality and misconduct exposed to the public while they are hypocritically seeking to get a guilty verdict against patriots.
This entire circus is a mockery of justice and our Constitution, and instead of being ashamed, Judge Navarro and the prosecution do these things in the light of day.
