Las Vegas Metro PD planting evidence on Ryan Bundy's friend Omar Qazi
Published on Sep 19, 2017 This is Omar Qazi, friend of Ryan Bundy. According to Ryan Omar "watches over Cliven" in NSDC. Omar has spent many hours sitting side by side with Ryan working on court documents as well as several other defendant in the US vs CLIVEN BUNDY case. Ryan would appreciate the patriots spreading this video far and wide to expose the corruption not only in Omars and the Bundy's case but the corruption that runs rampant throughout this alleged "justice system". Thank you for watching. Please watch and share.

Undercover Agent Purposefully Raised Threat Of Impending Attack During Bundy Ranch Cattle Impoundmenthttp://thepetesantillishow.com/wp-co...fi-500x250.jpg
GMN – BUNDY RANCH
During the first trial in Las Vegas, Nevada against Bundy Ranch protestors caught up in a surprising show of force by Federal Law Enforcement, the FBI admitted on the stand that 1,000 FBI and other Federal officers were assigned to surveil the Bundy family and their closest followers on social media. One of those agents was Robyn Kirkham, a Bureau of Land Management Agent who under the direction of former BLM (SAC) Daniel P. Love, began her surveillance sometime in January of 2014. Dan Love was recently fired from his position of Special Law Enforcement with the Bureau Of Land Management for misconduct and various other criminal acts including directing evidence custodians to procure him choice ancient artifacts collected during raids on collectors so he could give them to friends including agents in the FBI.
BLM Agent Robyn Kirkham known as “Alex Branson on FaceBook”, contacted Bailey Bundy Logue in March of 2014 on Facebook. Bailey, who is the daughter of Cliven Bundy says that in those messages Agent Kirkham “aka” Alex Branson, tells her that she was involved in a group of “like minded” people in Cedar City, Utah and would like to help the Bundy family with protest they may be planning against the Bureau of Land Management’s upcoming cattle impoundment. She then ask if there are any plans coming up to protest —

Bailey Bundy with her father Cliven Bundy on her wedding day
The messages take on a more urgent feel after Kirkum tells Bailey Bundy that she is good friends with someone inside the Las Vegas Metro Police Department who is sympathetic to the Bundy cause. She routinely alerts Cliven’s daughter, that her intel inside Metro PD is telling her “lots of cops” are coming down there, and that the BLM is starting to get “VERY” busy. At one point she tells her that her inside person is now advising that the BLM had an MRAP delivered to the compound.
Bailey Bundy says, that she had no reason to suspect Alex Branson was not legitimate because many locals were keeping an eye on the situation for them, giving them promises of support, and information. “Looking at those messages now makes me angry to think Alex Branson was setting us up from the beginning to believe we were in danger just so she could see how we would react and find out what we would do next” says Bailey . She goes on to say,
I wasn’t afraid because I didn’t know I should be afraid at the time if that makes any sense, I just thought she was trying to help; but it did make me sick to re-read these messages knowing now what she was trying to do. To purposefully make us think we needed protection caused so many problems that never needed to happen.
The Bureau of Land Management’s impound operation was so terribly handled it has many people asking; When will a complete investigation on Daniel P. Love’s actions at Bundy Ranch be investigated?
In the meanwhile, be careful who you’re talking to on FaceBook —- You just never know.

THE END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS
LOOKING AT HOW PROSECUTORS, WITNESSES AND LAW ENFORCEMENT USE LIES IN THE BUNDY ET AL CASE
May 8, 2017 government, Opinion 2

THE END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS: LYING FOR THE GREATER GOOD
Looking at how prosecutors, witnesses and law enforcement use lies in the Bundy et al case
by Loren Edward Pearce
I first learned the phrase, “the end justifies the means” during the cold war with the Soviet Union. I was taught that the “evil empire” regularly used lies and deception as a normal tool in furtherance of their state interests. The Soviets, I understood, had made lying a science, taking it to heretofore unknown levels of effectiveness.
The use of lies, knowingly using false statements and untruths, became an integral part of Soviet society and was the glue that kept the party leaders in control. Even their state run newspaper, Pravda, was a lie, because Pravda meant “Truth”. Of course, the implication was that the USA was not guilty of such practices as the Soviet Union and therefore, it was simple case of the good guys against the bad guys.
Machiavelli is credited with coining the phrase, “the end justifies the means” but there is no proof that he actually said it. But his writings conveyed the same idea, that morality was relative to what was needed, and what was justified to maintain power, depended on the circumstances. If lies and deception were necessary to gain and maintain power for a greater good (greater good was defined by the ones seeking power) then it was justified. Niccolò Machiavelli
ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR
Divorce lawyers make it a standard practice to tell clients that the person that they were married to, now that divorce is a reality, is no longer the person you once knew. Divorce is all out war and the rules of morality, of telling the truth, go out the window. Of course, there are exceptions and some couples manage to divorce amicably and without stomping on their morals, but it is more the exception than the rule. Lying In Family Court By Bill Eddy, LCSW, Esq.
In courts in general, the incidence of lying and intentionally not telling the whole truth is known to be very high. So much so, that it has become a joke that when one raises their arm to testify under oath, the raised arm triggers a mechanism for lying and, once again, the end justifies the means, winning is everything and a strategy of well thought out lies and falsehoods is just good lawyering.
Undoubtedly, no other situation applies the adage that the end justifies the means, like war whether it be world war, or war among two or more individuals. However, war between nations or states, whether hot or cold wars, brings out the use of lies and deception like nothing else. Sun Tsu, the author of “The Art of War” said, “An accomplished deceiver will have greater success in evading predators and resisting human combatants than a person who lacks this skill.”
It is my premise and proposition, that the never-ending wars around the globe, sponsored by the USA, serve as a training ground for learning how to lie for the greater good and that, accomplished deceivers are highly valued persons whose skills can be applied in their jobs domestically, back home in the states. Many veterans of these foreign wars come back and work as law enforcement, private security, government employees and prison staff. While overseas, they learned how to lie and deceive for the greater good of their team, and they enjoyed success. If their lying is effective and admired by others, they may get formal and informal rewards. However, the key component to their lying was to keep it outside the brother and sisterhood, the lying was directed at the enemy, not to each other. The fabric of the team is jeopardized if the habit of lying begins to be used internally. This is similar to the famous saying, “There is honor among thieves”, because the thief syndicate could not be successful if there was not integrity among themselves.
In a well known documentary, “Dirty Wars”, an investigative reporter in Afghanistan, shows how lying and deception are used with the local people to cover up mistakes by the military. Lying, disinformation and distortion of the truth are perfectly acceptable practices if it is for the greater good, protecting the organization and the mission.
Further revelations of cover-ups, dishonesty, lies and deception have been manifested by famous whistleblowers, Snowden and Assange. Although they are recognized for exposing the truth, politicians and power brokers condemn them as violators of the moral imperative, to protect the greater good (as defined by them) at all costs.
THE LAS VEGAS TRIALS OF THE BUNDY ET AL DEFENDANTS: PROTECTING THE FEDERAL TEAM’S MISSION BY LYING
Having sat through a few days of trial and having spoken to observers who were there the whole time, the conscience was shocked as it was observed, first hand, the principles of lying, of prevarication, of half truths, of truth distortion and of cover-up for what they would consider to be for the greater cause, the protection of the organization and its mission.
Take, for example, the testimonies of the local law enforcement and BLM agents who were on the scene during the Bunkerville protest. In a shocking display of manipulative and disingenuous behavior, the law enforcement officials testified under oath and with tears and emotional breakdowns, of their fear that they would not see their families again. The proof that they were lying is found in the hundreds of photographs showing the Las Vegas Metro, the Nevada State Patrol and the Sheriff’s staff, mingling, joking and socializing with the protesters. Furthermore, video is available showing BLM agents in a state of frivolity and disrespectful humor regarding who they would shoot first and general mockery of the protesters.
There was not the slightest hint of fear or sense of threat manifested by law enforcement towards the protesters. Many of the protesters openly carried guns in front of law enforcement in a normal display of open carry, common in Nevada and in the west.

WHY POLICE LIE AND GET AWAY WITH IT
The author of, “Why Police Lie Under Oath”, Michelle Alexander, quotes a San Francisco Police Commissioner, “Police officer perjury in court to justify illegal dope searches is commonplace. One of the dirty little not-so-secret secrets of the criminal justice system is undercover narcotics officers intentionally lying under oath. It is a perversion of the American justice system that strikes directly at the rule of law. Yet it is the routine way of doing business in courtrooms everywhere in America.”
Alexander goes on to say, “Mr. Keane, in his Chronicle article, offered two major reasons the police lie so much. First, because they can. Police officers ‘know that in a swearing match between a drug defendant and a police officer, the judge always rules in favor of the officer.’ At worst, the case will be dismissed, but the officer is free to continue business as usual. Second, criminal defendants are typically poor and uneducated, often belong to a racial minority, and often have a criminal record. ‘Police know that no one cares about these people,’ Mr. Keane explained.
Why Police Lie Under Oath – The New York Times By MICHELLE ALEXANDER FEB. 2, 2013
Police, like military, are part of a fraternal order of other officers and have learned that in the end, the greater good of the fraternal order, justifies lying and covering up. They are often trained to set themselves apart from the civilian population, cultivating a “we against them” attitude. They can only trust a fellow officer, the civilian is guilty until proven innocent.
When Ryan Bundy was in the Oregon prison, Ammon, his brother, sent out an urgent call to intervene for Ryan as he had been beaten up by the guards. As reported by Ammon and later confirmed by Ryan, the U.S. Marshals came to get Ryan early one morning, claiming that he had a court hearing. Ryan responded by saying he knew of no court hearing and that in the past, he had always been informed ahead of time by his counsel. The marshals insisted that he come with them. Ryan, smelling a rat, began to complain and that eventually led to the beating. The marshals took custody of the beat up Ryan and while driving him, confessed that there was no court hearing but that they wanted to remove the bullet in his shoulder. Ryan said that he had not given his consent to have the bullet removed and that he would resist and not cooperate. The marshals, knowing that a physician would not operate on a non-compliant patient, drove Ryan around aimlessly until finally depositing him at the court house where he sat for hours, under guard, for no reason. He was finally brought back to the prison.
Once again, we see that lying and deception are standard operating procedures by law enforcement under the notion that the greater good of the organization justifies the dishonesty.
ENTERING A ROOM OF DARKNESS: THE WORLD OF LIES AND FALSEHOODS
The Bundy et al case, is one among thousands that exposes a dark world of lying for the greater good, as defined by the person doing the lying. Lying, like torture, is a journey once embarked upon, leads to a world where there are no limits and the outcome is opposite of growth and progression. If one can lie and torture, the enemy can too, and it becomes a game of one up man ship.
Lying is like socialism. Socialism can only survive as long as there is money and resources that can be taken from others, for the greater good of the collective. Once other people’s money runs out, then socialism collapses. Like a large pyramid scheme, socialism is parasitical in robbing Peter to pay Paul. But when Peter no longer can pay, then Paul must find it someplace else, robbing others beyond there own borders. The writer is currently in Colombia and Colombia is experiencing a surge in crime and robbery as Venezuelans pour over the border looking for new victims, having exhausted the resources in Venezuela. There is nothing that justifies this.
Likewise, lying is parasitical, it depends on a source of gullible or unwary victims to be successful. It depends on teamwork, just like socialism. But when the victims are exhausted or if they have woken up to being used, then the liars must look for new victims, to keep the pyramid scheme going.
When people lie in court or they lie throughout their life, they depend on a never ending supply of people who believe their lies. Somebody once said that the definition of hell is where everybody is a liar and everybody seeks to be a better liar.
Jesus Christ said of lying,
“You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” John 8:44 (NIV) (KJV) (ESV)
Do we want lying to become our native language? If we continue down the road that we are on as a nation, then none of us will escape the inevitable collapse of our society, one built on a foundation of lies and dishonesty.
For an excellent discussion of lying and how it destroys the fabric of society, see:
Deception in Morality and Law
- Larry Alexander – University of San Diego
- Emily Sherwin – Cornell Law School
The end justifies the means. – From: The Free DictionaryProv. You can use bad or immoral methods as long as you accomplish something good by using them. (Not everyone agrees with this idea.) Lucy got money for the orphanage by embezzling it from the firm where she worked. “The end justifies the means,” she toldherself. The politician clearly believed that the end justifies the means, since he used allkinds of nefarious means to get elected.

Legislators Need to Keep Up the Pressure
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS THROWING A TANTRUM AND RETALIATING AGAINST THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY.

Legislators Need to Keep Up the Pressure
Editorial by Shari Dovale
We recently reported updates from the upcoming Bunkerville Standoff trial. This included updates on Todd Engel and his upcoming sentencing on two lesser charges.
It was revealed that Engel’s first Pre-Sentencing Report (PSR) recommended roughly 12 years, after corrections were made to the calculations to remove points for an invalid charge.
However, add in a letter written by Liberty Legislators who actually stand up for their constituents, and the Federal government throws a tantrum and decides to retaliate.
A majority of elected officials in Idaho, including US Congressman Raul Labrador, stepped up to the plate and showed that they intend to do what they were elected to do, that is fight for their citizens.
Since this letter was delivered to US Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the Federal Probation department decided to revisit Engel’s sentencing recommendations. They are now recommending he be incarcerated for as many years as is possible, in excess of 20 years.
The Federal government is having a conniption fit over this letter. They are striking back and retaliating. And, they are taking it out on the political prisoners, beginning with Todd Engel.
Did the letter hurt Engel and the other political prisoners? Not at all, it actually helped them.
Do not misunderstand. The government would have done most of this anyway, if they could have. They would have tried to have Engel sentenced to life in prison, if they thought they could get away with it. However, the letter forced them to takes their shades off and fully expose themselves.
They filed a PSR in June of this year. Why then, all of a sudden, have they decided to revisit this report? Why then, all of a sudden, have they changed their minds and decided to increase their recommendation?
The letter was delivered to AG Sessions on a Friday. It was the following Monday when the prosecution began making overtures of plea deals to the defendants. Myhre and crew are scrambling to try to salvage whatever they can.
Remember: The pressure on the prosecutors began after the letter was delivered. If this letter can make the prosecution panic, what do you think a few more letters can do?
We need more Liberty Legislators from other states to step up and declare their support for citizen rights! There is talk from other states, like Montana, Nevada and Arizona, that they are considering writing similar letters. This would help these defendants tremendously!
The more elected officials that stand up for citizen’s rights, the better the chances for these defendants to see real justice.
I applaud Congressman Labrador, and each of the representatives that signed the Idaho letter, for leading the charge to bring this country back to the US Constitution.

Interior boss blasts fired Utah BLM law enforcement agent
Posted on September 26, 2017 by Doug Knowles
In memo to Interior employees, deputy secretary makes example of controversial ex-Utah BLM lawman Dan Love, vow to clean up land agencies and protect those who report abuse.

A top Interior Department official has singled out the recent firing of a controversial Bureau of Land Management agent over Utah to illustrate a renewed commitment to hold accountable senior employees who misuse their official positions and to protect those who report such abuse.
Dan Love, who once led law enforcement for the BLM’s Nevada and Utah state offices, was fired not long after an Aug. 24 report from Interior’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) faulting him a second time for official misconduct, according to a memo circulated Friday by Deputy Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt.
The memo to Interior employees also mentioned another supervisory lawman recently fired in the wake of another OIG probe. That report concluded Edwin Correa engaged in sexual harassment while serving as chief ranger at Canaveral National Seashore in Florida.
“We will hold people accountable when we are informed that they have failed in their duties and obligations,” Bernhardt wrote. “Although the law in large part prevents dissemination of the details of actions taken, I am sharing these examples because you need to know that the Department has taken concrete disciplinary action in cases of serious misconduct, including those involving senior officials.”
For years, Utah political leaders have been demanding Love’s removal, citing what they say was the BLM’s unwillingness under his leadership to coordinate with local law enforcement. But what cost Love his job turned on pilfering of evidence, wringing coveted access at the Burning Man arts festival for friends and family, pressuring underlings to conceal evidence of wrongdoing and other examples of misconduct documented in two reports released this year by Interior’s OIG.
It was Love’s alleged arrogance toward local law enforcement that rankled Utah leaders. Complaints against his leadership were instrumental in motivating both federal and state legislation that sought to strip federal land agencies of law enforcement authority, including a bill most recently filed by former Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz before he left office this year.
While chairing the House Oversight Committee, the Utah Republican lambasted then-National Park Service director Jonathan Jarvis for his handling of the Correa matter and other reports of sexual harassment made by parks staff.
Utah’s Rep. Rob Bishop said he welcomed Love’s exit from federal service.
“The previous administration turned a blind eye to corruption and promoted a culture of mismanagement at the Department of the Interior,” said Bishop, taking aim at the leadership of former Interior Secretary Sally Jewell. “I applaud Interior for taking a strong stand and reasserting the basic principle that there are consequences for federal employees who blatantly disregard the law and steamroll elected officials and public trust.”
Perhaps the most telling part of Bernhardt’s memo was his pronouncement that Interior will listen to staffers who come forward with reports of wrongdoing at supervisory levels. The accusations affirmed by the OIG were brought to light by employees who did not confront Love directly or report his alleged misconduct to superiors out of fear of retribution or loss of their jobs.
Bernhardt, a former energy-industry lobbyist recently picked by President Donald Trump to serve as No. 2 at Interior, said such employees no longer have to worry.
“As it is vitally important for the health of the [Interior] Department that employees disclose misconduct they witness or experience, the Department is committed to protecting those who step forward from retaliation,” Bernhardt‘s memo said. “Therefore, I will also make this clear: the Department must be free from any retaliation or reprisal for reports of misconduct and I expect every leader to ensure this.”

Whipple represents rancher Cliven Bundy in his criminal case. Brett Le Blanc/Las Vegas Review-Journal Follow @bleblancphoto
By David Ferrara Las Vegas Review-Journal
September 27, 2017 – 1:59 pm
A judge on Wednesday denied Bunkerville rancher Cliven Bundy’s request to represent himself at trial next month on charges related to a 2014 standoff with the Bureau of Land Management.
Defense attorney Bret Whipple, whom Bundy retained, filed court papers last week in which he asked to withdraw from Bundy’s case.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Peggy Leen asked Bundy a series of questions in order to determine whether he could act as his own lawyer in what is expected to be a lengthy trial with six other defendants.
When Leen asked whether Bundy was ready for the trial, set to begin Oct. 10, he replied, “Well I doubt it.” But he added that he was not asking to postpone the trial.
As the judge inquired further about his understanding of trial procedures, Bundy said, “I understand very little of it, but I reserve my right to do the best I can.”
Leen read through the charges against Bundy, while the acting U.S. Attorney detailed the possible sentences, which could land Bundy in prison for the rest of his life.
The judge decided Whipple should remain as the trial attorney.
One of the rancher’s sons, Ryan, who also is a defendant in the case, already represents himself.
Angela Dows, Ryan Bundy’s standby attorney, also has asked to withdraw from the case, citing a “repugnant” correspondence from the defendant and a “fundamental disagreement” between the two. No ruling has been made on that request.
Prosecutors have alleged that Cliven Bundy, a Gold Butte rancher, conspired to thwart the federal government’s roundup of roughly 1,000 cows from public land near Bunkerville in April 2014.
Others scheduled for the October trial are Ammon Bundy, Ryan Payne, Pete Santilli, Scott Drexler and Eric Parker.
It will be the third trial in the case.
While jurors from the first trial could not decide on charges against four men, the panel returned convictions against two standoff participants: Arizona resident Gregory Burleson and Idaho resident Todd Engel. Burleson received a 68-year prison term, and Engel is awaiting sentencing.

Bunkerville Standoff: Make This Case Go Away!
By Shari Dovale
The pressure from the elected officials and the public have made a dramatic difference in the Bunkerville Standoff case. Plea deals are being offered for multiple defendants this week.
Rumors abound that the prosecution is acting as if they have been told to “make this case go away”. There have been offers of plea agreements given to several defendants, including Ryan Payne, Pete Santilli, Eric Parker and Scott Drexler. There have been NO reports of any acceptance of offers, but negotiations continue.
Speculation is also running on possible plea agreements for other defendants scheduled for trial later, including Mel and Dave Bundy.
Now is the time to double-down on the letters and phone calls! Keep up the pressure! Let AG Sessions know what a miscarriage of justice this case has become. It is working!
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...en-266x300.jpg
Cliven Bundy
Cliven Bundy, patriarch of the Bundy Family, had recently fired his attorney, Bret Whipple. Whipple did not complain as he had not received any payment for sometime, therefore had not done any recent work towards preparing for the upcoming trial. He filed a motion for an expedited hearing to be released from the case.
A hearing on Whipple’s motion was held on Wednesday. Cliven argued quite well that he was prepared to defend himself. He admitted that he may not be completely up on every point, but he felt ready to proceed and was not asking for any delay in the trial.
Magistrate Leen heard the motion and proceeded to argue with Bundy for nearly 45 minutes, pointing out all the obvious problems with defending himself. Bundy stood firm in his decision, however, Leen decided to deny Bundy his right to self-representation.
Leen has ordered Whipple to continue as Bundy’s attorney. Whipple asked for a sealed hearing to discuss the financial aspect of this order. We are told that Whipple argued that a 3-month trial with no payment could bankrupt him. Leen decided then to make Whipple a court-appointed attorney to Bundy so he will be paid from the same funds as the other attorneys.
Basically, the Magistrate has enslaved Whipple to this trial, not giving him any options for release, and she has also enslaved Bundy to Whipple, though they both admit to a breakdown in their attorney-client relationship.
Other highlights from the hearing include Bundy objecting repeatedly to the prosecutors even being present for this hearing, as he felt that they should have no say in his choice of counsel. Leen made note of his (multiple) objections on this point, but did not address it further.
Prosecutors originally attempted to indict Bundy, and his sons Ammon and Ryan, under the RICO Act, calling them an organized crime family. This strategy did not work out quite so well for them. AUSA Myhre has turned this case into a personal vendetta. You would think that Cliven ran off with his Christmas stocking.
Hearings in preparation for the upcoming trial will continue next week. Jury selection is scheduled for October 10th.

I know many of you have supported the role the Independent Journalist Peter Thomas Santilli played during his time @ Bundy Ranch that ultimately led to his incarceration and for that we are grateful. The time has now come for him to go to trial where he is not only fighting for his rights as a journalist but also those rights of many of you who live-stream and push-out information via the internet on a regular basis. With this answer to and the challenging of the Governments Motion in Limine Pete Santilli via his attorney Chris Rasmussen with the help of The Rutherford Institute, and Tom Coan, Pete's attorney in Portland for the Malheur Refuge Case --
has laid out his defense in the simplest terms, and it it is compelling. Pete cannot express to you all --
even those who do not support him, to understand the enormity of this case the government has brought against him and how it will ultimately effect each and everyone who uses the internet to broadcast their form of journalism and especially those who attend protests across the nation to live-stream those events in real-time. Real Time Journalism is a new media that was pioneered by Pete Santilli during his coverage of the Bundy Ranch and Malhuer Refuge --
Staying at both events for their entirety, Pete had audiences larger than mainstream media and let the imagery his camera captured speak for itself, but more importantly he narrated those videos as best he could, what he was seeing, feeling, and experiencing on the ground. The Government would love nothing more than to punish Pete simply because he didn't dress, act, or talk like the more conventional media on the ground during these two events, turning his investigative reporting into a crime because he successfully uncovered the absolute criminal actions of the Bureau Of Land Management's mismanagement of the Bundy Ranch cattle impound. His footage was real and raw and the public could see for themselves what was happening. It is my hope that those who take the time to read this motion filed just moments ago understand the full implications, if Pete Santilli is found guilty. Pete Santilli faces life in prison for a crime he did not commit.
Pete would like for you all to know that it is not just he who faces this trial ahead of him -- The government took my brand and criminalized it, he says, Because I wore camo when I reported at Bundy Ranch they labeled me a criminal. Because I said it was okay to bring weapons to an event being held on private property they call me a conspirator. I am none of those things -- I'm just non-conforming press, and they hate me for it.
As a side note -- Pete Santilli will not be joining the motion to sever from Ryan

Pete Santilli Accepts Felony Plea Deal
by Shari Dovale
Pete Santilli’s attorney dropped a bombshell in a Las Vegas courtroom today when he stated that his client has reached a plea agreement with the government.
Chris Rasmussen, Santilli’s attorney, also withdrew every motion their team has filed based on the plea deal.
The agreement includes Santilli agreeing to a Felony count of obstruction of justice, based on his blocking a BLM truck prior to the Bunkerville standoff.
Santilli will receive ‘time served’ and is expected to be released within the next few days. No other details have been released for this deal.
Defense teams are scrambling to preserve Santilli’s motions and subpoenas related to the upcoming trial, as it is scheduled for jury selection to begin next week.
In related events, Ryan Payne has withdrawn his request to represent himself at the upcoming trial. Payne originally filed a late night motion to represent himself due to his disagreement with his court-appointed attorneys attempt to sever his case from that of Ryan Bundy.
Attorneys for Eric Parker and Scott Drexler had joined Payne’s attorneys in that motion.
Ryan Bundy and his brother Ammon were not at the hearing today. They did not participate in the ‘strip search’ before leaving the Pahrump facilities. Additionally, they did not take part in the hearing via telephone. We were told that they had the phones made available to them, yet they chose not to participate in this manner.
A Faretta hearing had been scheduled today for Ryan Bundy, in which it would be determined if he was competent to represent himself in this case. That hearing was rescheduled for Friday, Oct. 6th.
Judge Gloria Navarro made it clear today that if these two defendants were not in attendance, either in person or by telephone, she would take that as a waiving of their rights. Navarro would expect to rule that Ryan would not be allowed to represent himself as he will be showing that he cannot follow the rules of the court.
