It is very confusing.
If the "30 days after the trial" still holds true and that means "after the" retrial of Parker and Drexler, I do not know how you can know that the trial of Bundy tier 1 won't take place until January of 2018.
What is happening is they will have a second "retrial" of Eric Parker and Scott Drexler. This will effectively move the Tier 1 Bundy trial to 30 days beyond the termination of the upcoming second 'retrial'. If they spend 2 months on a third trial for tier 3 Parker and Drexler beginning in September they could concievably begin Cliven's trial in December if it is concluded by October 31.
I don't actually know that it will be after Jan 1, 2018. Until the court tells us when the retrial will be we won't know an actual date. I don't anticipate them finishing the next retrial before late November.
Edit:
Don't forget the Nevada Day Oct. 31, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Holidays.

Re: Armed Feds Prepare For Showdown With Nevada Cattle Rancher
Second retrial scheduled for Sept. 25
The Oath added 9 new photos.
43 mins ·
U..S Attorney Steven Myhre has decided he intends to retry Eric Parker and Scott Drexler.
Eric is being charged with two 924c charges and Scott will be charged with one.
Eric Parker is facing potentially 32 years mandatory minimum and Scott Drexler is facing potentially 7 years mandatory mandatory minimum.
Retrial scheduled for sept 25.
Myhre asked that Eric not be allowed pre-trial release, stating that Eric is a coward, who slithered on his belly and hid behind the jersey barrier. Myhre stated that the charges against Eric, are severe and because of the severity, he has tried them once, twice and will try them a third time. Myhre then stated Eric is a coward and there is nothing more dangerous then a coward with a gun.
The judge pointed out that Eric has fully cooperated before, during and after his arrest. Eric maintained contact with his sheriff and never attempted to hide. The judge has allowed pre-trial release.
Condition of the pre-trial release is that Eric and Scott are not allowed to have contact with any of the co-defendants. IF YOU ARE ON THE WITTNESS LIST FOR ANY OF THE TRIALS, PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ERIC OR SCOTT, it will violate their pre-trial release.
924c GUN CHARGE VIOLATIONS:
For a single 924c violation the MANDATORY MINIMUM is 5 years which must be served in addition to any other prison sentence imposed.
Scott Drexler is charged with:
Count 5 Assault on a federal officer, because Scott had a firearm on him at the time, Myhre is then able to stack on the 924c gun charge violation and that becomes, Count 6: Use and carry of a firearm.
If Scott is found guilty he would receive time for Count 5 and an additional 5 yrs. would be added to that for his 924c violation, Count 6.
Eric Parker is being charged with two 924c Gun Charge Violations, Count 6 and Count 9.
A second 924c conviction received is a mandatory minimum of 25 years must be served and a third charge carries a life sentence.
“STACKING” 924 c charges is what the government calls fair,meaning for two crimes you would receive 5 years plus the crime for your first charge, then an additional 25 years for the second 924c…so on and so forth.
Eric Parker Deadlocked on four counts and will be retried
Count 5: Assault on a federal officer
Count 6: Use and carry of a firearm (924c Gun Charge Violation)
Count 8: Threatening a federal officer
Count 9: Use and carry of a firearm (924c Gun Charge Violation)
Scott Drexler Deadlocked on two counts and will be retried
Count 5: Assault on a federal officer
Count 6: Use and carry of a firearm (924c Gun Charge Violation)
THE TRUTH, what really happened at Bunkerville that Myhre and Navarro do not want you to see.

Prosecutor Shows Petulance Over Acquittal

Prosecutor Shows Petulance Over Acquittal
by Staff
Four defendants in the Bunkerville Retrial were found not guilty of 34 of 40 charges Tuesday in an embarrassing smack-down for the federal government in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Steven Stewart and Rick Lovelein were released after the jury found them not guilty on every charge the government had been holding them on for the past 18 months.
Eric Parker and Scott Drexler appeared before Judge Gloria Navarro on Wednesday morning for her ruling on their current “pre-trial” release
The Acting US Attorney showed his humiliation at the symbolic spanking the jury gave to his case by having his own “Mic-Drop” moments during the detention hearings.
Prosecutor Myhre gave every appearance at trying to stir the spectators, and possibly the defendants, into making a scene in the courtroom, thereby allowing Judge Navarro a reason to continue incarceration of these two men.
First making inflammatory statements, such as calling Eric Parker “a coward”, then pausing for dramatic effect. When no one would rise to his bait, he would continue on with more hateful rhetoric.
The prosecutor even attempted to use photos taken of the defendants outside the halfway house after their release as a reason to keep them incarcerated. Trying for the argument that their “Jury Nullification T-Shirts” showed a complete disregard for the court, he instead made it appear that he is so wound up over this case that he has taken to stalking these people every minute of the day.
He claims that the evidence is so overwhelming against these defendants that he is prepared to go back to trial immediately in his third attempt to find a jury that will agree with him.
The jury has acquitted Parker of 6 charges and deadlocked at 11-1 in favor of acquittal on the remaining 4 charges. This was after Judge Navarro gave every assistance to Myhre to further his prosecution and locked down the defense from presenting any case to defend their clients.
But even Judge Navarro seemed to think Myhre was stretching it when she asked him about his statements claiming Parker would just “hide again.” Navarro asked about how Parker was originally arrested.
Myhre had to roll back his misstatements and say that Parker was caught unawares and “did not have the opportunity to hide.”
However, when Parker’s attorney addressed the court, he made it very clear that Parker had gone to the authorities on his own to turn himself in.
The prosecutor gave no slack to defendant Scott Drexler during his turn with Judge Navarro. AUSA Myhre stated (in another mic-drop moment) that Drexler lied on the witness stand. Judge Navarro didn’t even bite at that apple.
Navarro seemed only to have a problem with Mr. Drexler’s “Bug Out Bag” also known as a “Go Bag” or a “Get Home Bag”. She seemed highly concerned that he was fully equipped to take care of himself if he was caught in the woods or traveling on foot. Navarro even listed the items, such as “Fire-starter” and “zip ties”.
This concern only highlights the differences between people that live in the big cities (like Las Vegas) and the rural mountains of Idaho. “Get Home Bags” are a near requirement in your vehicle if you live outside the boundaries of Idaho suburbia. I, personally, am more concerned with anyone that does not have one.
Myhre obviously took this loss way too personally, as he showed his immature response throughout the hearings. With all of the pouting of the Acting US Attorney, he could not stop the release of these two men.
By his statements of his intention to retry, and the defense refusing to wave their rights to a speedy trial, Judge Navarro set a trial date for September 25th, with a status hearing for their final decision on August 31st.

AMAZING NEWS!
08/22/17
Once again, after trying and failing to convict 4 men once and encountering a hung jury, the prosecution tries and fails once again!
The jury today after first trying to submit their verdict and being told by the spiteful judge Navarro to go back to deliberation and try again returns A NOT GUILTY verdict on 34 counts in the Bundy Stand off trial in Las Vegas Nevada.
There are 4 other charges which include "Assaulting a Federal Officer" which the jury, for the second time were unable to convict but my understanding is there may be at least two jurors who have been somewhat resistant to the not guilty charges and may have a conflict of interest.
The defendants again requested a mistrial due to members of the jury informing the judge that they feel that two of the jury members are tainted after learning some things of their past during heated dialogue.
It almost seems as though in all three trials, the prosecution had somehow "installed" jury members.
So for the second time, the jury cannot reach a verdict on a small amount of the charges for two of the men and the result is a hung jury for the second time for two of the charges and the associated elevated penalties related to those charges.
Two of the men will be released immediately and two will be held to determine if a third trial will be waged upon these men who have already endured two trials.
It's important to understand that these are Federal charges and they are being tried in Federal court which historically has had a 98% conviction rate. They tried these men and failed earlier this year, kept them in jail to make another, more egregious attempt at swindling the jury.
The Judge who clearly got her marching orders and was appointed by filthy Harry Reid denied virtually every defense measure that was requested, and even denied one defendant the ability to talk on his own behalf after first denying his attorneys the ability to defend him.
The leader of the BLM raid (Daniel Love) ordered against Cliven Bundy has since come under investigation for serious charges himself bringing even more question to the nature of their assault on the Bundy family.
But the judge would not allow this to be heard by the jury.
She also wouldn't allow testimony against the BLM about members of their team having numerous snipers trained on men, women and children during the conflict.
This is one of the key elements which engaged Militia members to render aid to the family and stand guard against a militarized BLM who told these families that they were about to be shot to try and intimate them out of the area which failed and only escalated the intensity and nearly caused a full scale shootout.
Despite all of their intense efforts and holding the men in jail without bail for over a year, the jury saw through the judges bias and delivered America a bold and powerful statement that this overreach is WRONG and unjust.
You can't have the executive and judicial branch of government colluding with one another to orchestrate against a member of the people.
This is now the THIRD embarrassment in the matter of Federal jurisdiction. The big bullies are used to intimidating defendants into a plea deal and getting their conviction on consent.
I've said it for years, bullies don't do well against those who fight back.
Good job Men and thank you for fighting back. It helps us all in this battle for our basic rights as they're being ravaged by this out of control bureaucracy pretending to be a public entity.
What they have done to the Hammond's is shameful!
What they did to LaVoy Finicum and his family is brutal and Savage.
What they're doing to these men including all members of the Bundy family and the men Acquitted today is criminal, unlawful, unconstitutional and heinous.
There are still some hurdles but today is a grand day for the republic of America.
The truth prevails once again.

It's interesting to me that in the recent trial in Las Vegas against four defendants in the Bundy Ranch standoff that one juror held out and would not even maintain dialogue with the other 11 jurors. Were it not for this one juror, the verdict would have been unanimous and all four defendants would have been entirely acquitted.
This same juror was discovered to have potential bias and was reported by the other jurors as such. The defense attorneys accordingly called for a mistrial but Judge Navarro denied it and forced the jurors to continue to deliberate not once but twice more.
The two remaining defendants who are affected by the hung jury will be retried on the charges that remained hung in deliberations previously in this trial and formerly in the first trial.
This means they will be facing charges and be tried THREE TIMES for the exact same offense!
Given that the first trial ended hung with 10 jurors entering not guilty verdicts and two guilty verdicts and the second trial being 11-1 not guilty, the men will be likely be Acquitted in the third trial... Unless there is a shill in the jury.
It only takes one holdout to force a hung jury and as we've seen in Portland and Nevada there have been some strange jury incidents where the jury pool had raised questions about one member of the jury.
It's rare that prosecution will retry after a hung jury because technically, a hung jury is a failed attempt at getting a conviction and it's mighty uncomfortable if they risk retrial and lose again.
It's virtually unprecedented to lose two trials and try for a third. They already look like bafoons and were beat BADLY!
There is simply NO logic in a third attempt... Unless the defendants are just pawns and a means to elongate the suffering of the other defendants as long as possible.
Keeping in mind that these Men have NOT BEEN CONVICTED OF A CRIME, and are decent, law abiding citizens with no priors, it is preposterous to have them encarcarated at all, let alone over two years!
They are family men, business owners, men of character, they are no flight risk! They should have been released on OR but instead have languished and been tortured for 18 months and were Justice handed an extended sentence of another 5 months!
The prosecution and the Judge AND Harry Reid have made it very clear, they want maximum discomfort for the Bundy Men as they foiled his plans to aquire and develop the last remaining ranch in Clark county.
Accordingly, by producing TWO hung juries for the same group of defendants, the remaining defendants including all of the Bundy Men will be forced to remain in custody awaiting their trial.
What had already been a grueling 18 months has now been turned into TWO YEARS .
Ammon Bundy reminded us that he thinks often of his four year old daughter, at least in his mind and dreams she's four but she's now actually 6 and previous years have been lost, never to be regained.
Their trial was scheduled for September but now has been moved to January as a result of the third attempt at the original defendants.
So once again, their right to bail and their right to a speedy trial have been violated.
It doesn't take much imagination to start thinking or realizing that these mysterious jury menageries in three consecutive trials aren't coincidental and are possibly orchestrated to extend the suffering of the strong willed Men who refuse to accept a plea bargain and maintain their complete innocence.
It will be very interesting to hear of the events in the jury deliberations. It has been reported that the jury not only acquitted on 34 counts but that they expressed with body language, smiles and compassion for the defendants as the verdict was read.
My guess is one or more of them will talk of the other unwaivering member and raise this very question eventually.
One thing is very clear and that is that the prosecution HAS NO CASE and is merely exacting punishment any way they can. They were made a fool at Bunkerville, at Malhuer, in Portland and now twice in Las Vegas.
They have spent hundreds of millions of tax payer dollars and like a drunken gambling addict spending stolen money they are doubling down and going all in on terrible odds because the money we provide them is endless and of no consequence to them.
This is beyond irresponsible and reckless, it is a viscous and relentless attack on anyone who dares stand on principles of law and constitution.
And they wonder why we lack respect.

Ammon and Ryan Bundy are in solitary once again.
Ammon Bundy added 7 new photos.

Call CCA/Core Civic/ Southern Nevada Detention Center and ask to speak with the Warden.
775-751-4500
Ammon Bundy is very disappointed in Core Civic/Prisons for profit right now. After going back on their word regarding him NOT being strip searched, they handcuffed him (and his brother Ryan) and then cut all his clothes off with scissors and hauled him into solitary confinement last Friday, where he now sits. But the first 3 days he had NOTHING; no books, no legal documents to work on, no Bible. Just walls to stair at for 72 hours while being fed through a small hole in the door. All the while his co defendants were being declared NOT GUILTY. Such irony. Then they finally gave him some books and a note pad but would not give him his pencil to write with. He not only journals every day but he also writes all the things he finds in discovery for later research in the Law Library for his upcoming trial. (He's been learning much about Steve Myhre that he says will make your mouth drop in shock)... He would appreciate being released from solitary confinement but at a minimum he would like a pencil to continue working on his case.
Perhaps you could call the jail and let them know that profiting off of hostages is a sin and slavery is illegal and that Ammon AND Ryan would like to be released from the hole immediately.
As always, be courteous but firm. This must stop.
And since this may end up in the next trial as evidence, the cows were shot and buried, Ammon was tazed multiple times, BLM snipers pointed their weapons at women and children, Dave was thrown to the ground and arrested simply for videoing the BLM, Aunt Margaret was thrown to the ground and a 1st amendment area was set up forcing the public into like a herd of cattle. SUNLIGHT IS THE BEST DISINFECTANT

Re: Armed Feds Prepare For Showdown With Nevada Cattle Rancher
The federal land grab was completely illegal and why Trump should pardon Bundys.
Something Roger Stone didn't address here that Lt. Colonel (retired) Roy Potter and Brand Thornton have pointed out in the past: The Sheriff Lombardo is on the Homeland Security board. He told the Bundys the BLM would be releasing the cattle April 12. All the protesters arrived at the wash expecting to see the cattle being released, only to be met by Dan Love's armed mercenaries. Both Roy Potter and Brand Thornton have stated they believe Lombardo intentionally set these people, hence his SWAT team on site.

Why Trump Should Pardon Bundys & Their Supporters
Federal land grab was completely illegal
by Roger Stone
(InfoWars) – Last week a Nevada jury dealt another blow this week to the government’s case against participants in an armed uprising against federal agents three years ago involving the family of rancher Cliven Bundy and his supporters.
The jury acquitted two men, Richard Lovelien and Steven Stewart, of all 10 charges against them, and two others, Eric Parker and O. Scott Drexler, on most counts. The jury deadlocked on the remaining charges against Parker and Drexler, and then Judge Gloria Navarro an appointee of President Obama hand- picked by Harry Reid, declared a mistrial.
Navarro’s conduct in the case and her efforts to cook the results of the next trial by denying the defendants any real defense. Navarro knows that no matter how outrageous her conduct the X circuit, the most politically activist liberal would be unable to overturn her rulings and all the Bundy defendants will have died in prison before the US Supreme Court could hear this case.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...li-300x211.jpg
Pete Santilli is currently the longest held journalist in United States history.
This recent result was despite a concerted effort by Judge Gloria Navarro to deny the due-process rights of the defendants. Navarro has refused to release the Bundy’s and their supporters including journalist Pete Santilli under pre-trial release even none have prior criminal records, leaving them to languish in a squalid Nevada for 18 months and has ordered that they remain shackled during their trial. Navarro has denied the Bundy’s attorneys the right to mount a First, Second or Fourth Amendment defense. She also refused to let jurors hear a BLM radio transmission which features the order to attack the Bundy ranch and refused to allow final arguments by the defendant’s attorneys.
This was the second trial for the four men, who had been accused of conspiracy to impede or injure a federal officer, among other charges. A jury in April deadlocked on all charges against them.
Now, incredibly the Government has announced its intention to try Parker and Drexler a third time! Thirty days after the third “re-trial” of Parker & Drexler the next set of Bundy Ranch Defendants will have their trial, including Cliven Bundy, his sons, and journalist Pete Santilli whose only crime seems to be his coverage of the dispute as a news story. Six other accused, which include two other sons of Clive Bundy, are awaiting trial sometime in 2018.
The four were in Bunkerville, Nevada in April 2014, when rancher Cliven Bundy and his sons rallied armed militia and other supporters to face off against agents with the federal Bureau of Land Management who had come to impound Bundy’s cattle.
The Bundys’ fight against the federal government began decades earlier as a dispute over grazing land for the family’s cattle.
To understand this case and why the Department of Justice is determined to deny the Bundys and their supporters their right to a fair and speedy trial it is necessary to dig deeper into the situation and the involvement of Sen. Harry Reid
The Bundy Family has been on their family land in the Gold Butte area of Nevada since 1877. This is long before the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) ever existed. When the BLM started changing laws by fiat, many, including the Bundy Family, accused the Feds of overtaking state sovereignty.
One such created law forbids cattle from grazing on Federal land in the name of protecting an endangered tortoise. Bundy Family and friends claim that this is preposterous, and nothing but a display of Federal government gone bad. All of their attempts to redress their grievances with the Government were rebuffed or ignored outright. The Bundy family continued to disagree and refused to comply, being suspicious of the Feds motives.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...en-200x300.jpg
Cliven
Although the facts are still unclear, many analysts are claiming that the Public Lands on which Bundy’s cattle grazed are not only heavy in mineral deposits but are also set to become an oil and gas fracking project. Gold Butte area was used for exploratory energy drilling and could hold untapped energy sources. The BLM already has a track record of auctioning fracking leasing rights to energy companies. While it might be about oil, one thing is clear, it is definitely about solar. Senator Harry Reid (D Nev.) was involved in an expansion of a solar power project that needed the Gold Butte area to deploy more solar panels (and therefore had to remove Bundy’s cattle by force).
The original stated intent of the BLM and associates was to close off the federal land from the Bundy Ranch and remove the trespassing cattle, not to launch an all-out assault on the ranch in Waco fashion.
Longtime Reid policy adviser Kornze was confirmed by the Senate as BLM director (formerly its principal deputy director) on April 8, 2014, just a few days before federal authorities were descending on the cattle ranch. Coincidence?
In a March 14, 2014 press release, the BLM announced support for “the Western Solar Energy Plan, a two-year planning effort conducted on behalf of the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Energy to expand domestic energy production and spur development of solar energy on public lands in six western states.” While this press release can be found easily on the Internet, it has been conspicuously removed. The agency clearly wanted Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy’s cattle off of the land his family has worked for over 140 years in order to make way for solar panel power stations.
Erasing history is a BLM hallmark. BLM had also posted on its website a document stating that the agency wanted Bundy’s cattle off the land as part of a mitigation strategy for such solar panel power stations. BLM removed it when the standoff became national news.
“Non-governmental organizations have expressed concern that the regional mitigation strategy for the Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone utilizes Gold Butte as the location for offsite mitigation for impacts from solar development, and that those restoration activities are not durable with the presence of trespass cattle,” (Bundy’s) the document states.
The BLM wanted Cliven Bundy out of the 600,000-acre Gold Butte area so the agency could use the land for future solar projects, including one represented by Reid’s son Rory (ENN Energy Group via Chinese government).
Reid has been accused by ranchers in Nevada of using the BLM to control Nevada land, over 84 percent of which is already owned by the federal government. He also uses this power to pay back special interests, including his top donor, Harry Whittemore, who first urged Reid to have the habitat of the desert tortoise moved. That was before he was convicted of violating federal election laws by illegally funneling $150,000 to Reid’s 2007 re-election campaign.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...harry-reid.jpg
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Credit: First Solar Media press release via Business News)
Harry Reid can be seen in a March 2014 photo breaking ground for a new solar farm near the Bundy Ranch, emphasizing that the senator’s plan for solar projects in Nevada wasn’t just limited to the shelved solar farm near Laughlin. About 35 miles from the Bundy homestead in Bunkerville, Nevada, Sen. Reid joined representatives from the Moapa Band of Paiutes, executives from First Solar, Inc. and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power for the groundbreaking ceremony on March 21. “First Solar is thrilled to celebrate this important milestone with Sen. Reid and distinguished guests, and honored to work with the Moapa Band of Paiutes on this landmark project,” Jim Hughes, the CEO of First Solar.
Concerns about the environment and ecology of the federal lands in question were conveniently missing when the land was opened up for Harry Reid’s pet projects with Chinese businesses. This evidence is damning; it shows government collusion between Senator Harry Reid and his former senior advisor who had become the director of the BLM, as well as Reid’s son Rory Reid, the chief representative for a Chinese energy firm that was planning to build a $5 billion solar plant on public land in Nevada.
It is estimated that it would cost around $3 million to round up all 900 of Bundy’s cattle, enough money to have kept the tortoise conservation open another three years. It’s clear the Federal Government was not being honest about their methods and intentions. Either way, they had no business infringing on the rights of the Bundy family in the name of protecting turtles.
As far as the turtles go, later it turns out that the BLM was about to euthanize several hundred of these tortoises in part because of a lack of funding for the conservation (remember that $3 million allocated to the round-up?), and many were actually euthanized by US Fish and Wild Life. An interesting side note, recent research has suggested that there is a direct correlation between the number of cattle and the number of tortoises, and an elimination of cattle has a direct negative impact on the turtle population. The tortoises seem to need the cattle!
Because the Bundy Family were one of the last hold-outs, as many of their neighbors had already been forced out of the cattle business, they were subjected to their cattle being rounded up in retaliation for unpaid ‘grazing fees.’
Feds began rounding up cattle with the excuse they were protecting the endangered desert tortoise. They were not gentle about it either, literally running the cattle to death.
The Feds were illegally and purposefully killing cattle off in the raid, using backhoes to bury some in shallow graves, and load other carcasses onto dump trucks. When the Bundy Family and supporters investigate the whereabouts of their cattle and what was happening to them, the BLM respond by assaulting a cancer patient (Margaret Houston), unleashing attack dogs on protesters, and tazed Ammon Bundy multiple times.
Cliven Bundy then called on the sheriff to start arresting BLM agents for trespassing and theft. While sympathetic, the sheriff was unable to stop the confrontations.
People started to notice, and people voiced their support for the Bundy Family, many in person. When Bundy started gaining even wider-spread support, the Feds erected ‘free-speech’ zones.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u.../snipers-1.jpg
After Bundy’s ‘violated’ their zone to film the round-up, the BLM blared loudspeaker warnings, and four snipers pointed guns at them. When Dave Bundy didn’t comply, the Feds sicced at a vicious police dog on him and had him arrested.
In order to hide their doings, the government declares a ‘no-fly’ zone over the ranch to prevent embarrassing footage from the media showing the ‘bovine concentration camp’ where large numbers of cattle are being stuffed into small enclosures. The Feds also create mass burial graves of those cattle unable to survive the stressful ordeal of being ‘herded’ by a low flying helicopter.
Cliven Bundy, having had enough, makes the claim that he is prepared to become a martyr to protect liberty and freedom vs. Government ‘tyranny.’
More and more Americans become outraged and gather in support. Patriot and militia groups arrive to protect the peace.
The Governor of Nevada orders that the ‘free-speech’ zones be dismantled, and warns BLM about their ‘atmosphere of intimidation,’ and recommends BLM reconsider its approach on the constitutional rights of Nevadans.
BLM officials agreed to cease their operation to seize Bundy’s cattle after a massive public backlash. Bundy then demanded that Sheriff Douglas Gillespie disarm BLM officials and return his stolen cows. When this didn’t happen, hundreds of Bundy supporters, including cowboys on horseback, descended on a nearby cattle pen outside of Mesquite where the seized cows were being held.
In a tense standoff, armed BLM feds, backed up by at least one SWAT team, threatened to shoot at Bundy supporters if they marched any closer to a line of vehicles. Refusing to back down, the protesters marched straight past the armed men and towards the cattle pen.
Supporters of Nevada cattle rancher Cliven Bundy advanced on a position held by BLM agents despite threats that they would be shot at, eventually forcing BLM feds to release 100 cattle that had been stolen from Bundy as part of a land grab dispute
According to Piute County commissioner Darin Bushman: I was just told by commissioner Collins of Clark County NV that all of us folks from Utah are a bunch of “inbred bastards” and if we are coming to Clark County NV to support Cliven Bundy we all “better have funeral plans”. We should “turn our asses around on mind our own f-ing business”. Classy leadership for all to see.
Cliven Bundy later claims that he would have been happy to pay ‘grazing-fees,’ as long as it went to the state of Nevada and benefit the local community. But not to the unaccountable Federal government who had been illegally harassing them for years.

Prized Bull (Bundy Ranch Facebook).
If the Federal government were truly concerned about the welfare of the turtles, they would have stopped the development in Southern Las Vegas, not Bundy’s grazing cattle.
Never in the history of America has the government called out snipers, helicopters, assault troops and restricted air space to save any animal… not even the American Bald Eagle, much less a reptile. The U.S. government treated the Bundy Ranch like a Middle-Eastern war zone.
Harry Reid and those against the Bundy Family begin to refer to them and their supporters as ‘domestic terrorists.’
Reid is accused of using the new BLM chief as a puppet to control Nevada land, over 84% of which is owned by the federal government. The reason he wants this control is to pay back special interests.
BLM has proven that they have a situational concern for the desert tortoise as they’ve had no problem waiving their rules concerning wind or solar power development. Clearly these developments have vastly affected a tortoise habitat more than a century-old, quasi-homesteading grazing area.
The development of solar farms just like this one is exactly why Sen. Reid was using the BLM, whose director is Reid’s former senior advisor, to push Bundy out of the Gold Butte area.
The simple fact is the feds were using the Bureau of Land Management to bully and intimidate ranchers like Bundy, pushing them off public land in order to pave the way for lucrative “green energy” projects backed by the Communist Chinese government and linked to Nevada Senator Harry Reid.
FOX Legal Analyst Judge Napolitano said the feds were forced to back down because they had suffered a public relations nightmare, pointing out that Bundy lost his case in a federal court but that the case should have been tried in a state court. “The federal judiciary should not be deciding what land the federal government owns,” said Napolitano, adding that the feds should have placed a lien against Bundy’s property to collect grazing fees and not conducted a raid backed up by armed agents to seize his private property.
“The government’s option is to take the amount of money he owes them and docket it, that is, file the lien on his property….the federal government could have done that, instead they wanted this show of force,” said Napolitano, adding, “They swooped in….with assault rifles aimed and ready and stole this guy’s property, they stole his cattle, they didn’t have the right to do that, that’s theft and they didn’t have the right to do that, that’s theft and they should have been arrested by state officials”
Instead of doing the right thing, Federal judges, prosecutors, investigators, and more have all done the wrong thing. At each opportunity where the situation could have been de-escalated, it was instead escalated.
There can be no more clear and egregious overreach of Federal power than is being demonstrated in the case of the Bundy Family. The third retrial of Parker and Drexler requires the written approval of Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Incredibly, Sessions visited Nevada during the first trial and blurted out praise of the prosecutors oblivious to the fact that such public comment by the highest law enforcement official in the nation tainted the trial and could have been grounds for dismissal.
I have called upon US Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley to call Judge Navarro to hearings to explain her denial of the due process for the Bundy Ranch defendants. No person, not even Reid stooge Navarro is above the law.
On July 15th I called upon President Donald J. Trump to review the actions of both the BLM and the Department of Justice in this case and to use his pardon authority to end this travesty and immediately release all of the Bundy Family members as well as their supporters who have been locked-up by an out-of-control Federal government that seeks to intimidate and subjugate through the abuse of brute force. I appeal again to the President for mercy and justice.

Re: Armed Feds Prepare For Showdown With Nevada Cattle Rancher
Time to free the defendants?
Posted on September 1, 2017 by Doug Knowles
https://bloximages.chicago2.vip.town...c2c5.image.jpg
Whether you think the defendants in the Bunkerville standoff are a bunch of lunatic, dangerous gun-nuts who should be locked up and the key thrown away or upstanding patriots defending property and constitutional rights in the face of belligerent bureaucrats, it matters not what you think.
What matters is what jurors think.
So far jurors seem less than enthusiastic about embracing the pile of charges heaped on the first of the standoff defendants.
When Bureau of Land Management agents and their hired cowboys showed up at Cliven Bundy’s ranch in April 2014 to confiscate his cattle — for which he had refused to pay grazing fees for decades — hundreds of people showed up to exercise their First Amendment right to protest. Some also exercised their Second Amendment right to bear arms.
A year and half ago prosecutors filed charges of obstruction of justice, conspiracy, extortion, assault and impeding federal officers among other things against 17 of those protesters, including Bundy and four of his sons. Until this past week all remained jailed without bail.
The defendants were separated into three groups for trial. The first trial took place in April with the other two to follow shortly thereafter. But those plans went awry.
The April trial of six men ended with no one being convicted of conspiracy, the most serious charge. Two men were convicted of some of the charges and jurors hung on the remaining four. Jurors told defense lawyers after the trial they never came close to convicting four defendants, voting 10-2 in favor of acquitting two of them and splitting on the others.
Despite the majority of jurors in the first trial voting to acquit, all four were retried. This past week the jurors in that trial — despite not being allowed to hear defense arguments about constitutional rights or possible law enforcement excesses —reached not-guilty verdicts on 34 of 40 counts.
The six men and six women acquitted Ricky Lovelien of Oklahoma and Steven Stewart of Idaho of all charges.
The jurors could not reach a unanimous verdict on four counts against Eric Parker and two counts against Scott Drexler. Parker’s attorney told The Associated Press that a juror told him that votes were 11-1 for acquittal on those six counts.
Prosecutors nonetheless have decided to retry Drexler and Parker on those six counts in September, meaning the remaining 11 defendants will have their trials pushed back yet again, even though the Sixth Amendment guarantees a speedy trial.
Drexler and Parker, both of Idaho, are being allowed to return home pending their third trial on ever dwindling charges.
Cliven Bundy’s attorney, Brett Whipple, and the attorneys for several other defendants have filed motions seeking to have their clients released pending trial.
“Our position has always been that it’s political instead of criminal,” Whipple told the Las Vegas newspaper. “And now it seems to be subjective instead of factual. There’s a whole fairness issue that I think is overlooked.”
Etched on the facade of the Supreme Court building in Washington is: “Equal Justice Under Law.”
In the Bunkerville standoff prosecution thus far two have been convicted of some charges, two acquitted of all charges and two face retrial on some charges, reportedly due to the intransigence of one juror.
Only one man has been sentenced, and his conviction may have had less to do with what he said and did at the standoff than what he said afterward.
Gregory Burleson, an avowed Arizona militiaman, told an undercover FBI agent posing as a documentary filmmaker, “I was hell bent on killing federal agents that had turned their back on we the people.”
Burleson testified, “Yes, I said a lot of crazy things. I’m ashamed of them actually. … Looking back at them, it’s like, ‘Wow, obviously I shouldn’t drink.’”
He was sentenced to 68 years in prison. For shooting off his mouth, not his guns?
Shortly after Cliven Bundy, 71, was arrested the prosecution argued that “Bundy is a danger to the community and poses a risk of non-appearance,” even though he agreed to any travel, firearm or GPS tracking restrictions the government might impose.
“Cliven Bundy is about as likely to hurt someone or to flee Nevada as a desert tortoise,” attorney Joel Hansen argued at the time. “It just isn’t going to happen.”
It costs nearly $90 a day to house a federal prisoner. Perhaps it is time, the judge considers freeing the remaining defendants on bail pending trial.

Re: Armed Feds Prepare For Showdown With Nevada Cattle Rancher
Nearly one third of Idaho legislators signed a letter asking Jeff Sessions to back off Bundy Case
Idaho GOP lawmakers ask AG Sessions to back off Bundy case
BY CYNTHIA SEWELL
csewell@idahostatesman.com
Two failed trials is enough.
Thirty-four Republican Idaho lawmakers — one-third of the full combined House and Senate — sent a letter Tuesday to U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions asking him to get Nevada federal prosecutors to relax their pursuit of four Idahoans charged or convicted in connection with the 2014 Bunkerville standoff in Nevada.
“We believe that the decision by the current U.S. attorney to Nevada to prosecute these men a third time represents disrespect for the rule of law and the jury system,” states the letter signed by 26 House members and eight Senate members, along with five retired lawmakers.
On Friday, a federal judge set a trial date for Oct. 10, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
The four men, Ammon Bundy, of Emmett; Eric Parker, of Hailey; Scott Drexler, of Challis; and Todd Engel, of Boundary County, were among nearly 20 defendants arrested in early 2016 as part of a nationwide roundup regarding the armed standoff against federal law enforcement officers that took place in April 2014. The federal officials tried rounding up cattle that belonged to rancher Cliven Bundy, who had refused for years to pay grazing fees.
State Rep. Dorothy Moon, R-Stanley, is the letter’s lead author. Others with their names affixed include House Majority Leader Mike Moyle; Assistant Majority Leader Brent Crane; Treasure Valley Sens. Clifford Bayer and Lori Den Hartog; and Treasure Valley Reps. Judy Boyle, Christy Perry, Brandon Hixon, Greg Chaney, Joe Palmer, James Holtzclaw, Steve Harris and Jason Monks.
“I think it is a complete injustice and a waste of taxpayer money and time to continue to go after these guys after two mistrials,” said Rep. Boyle, from Midvale.
“Let it go. We are not talking about murders, robberies, druggies, rapists. It is continuing to waste the court’s time and federal taxpayers’ money. I know the federal government wants to make a point, but get over it.”
The Statesman has reached out to all lawmakers who affixed their name to the letter and will update this post with any responses.
Ammon Bundy, who was found not guilty in the Malheur, Ore., standoff case, remains in custody without bail awaiting trial for the Nevada incident. In the latter, he’s charged with conspiracy, assault and other felonies.
Parker, who was photographed aiming his high-powered rifle at federal agents near the Bundy Ranch in Nevada — a lasting image that went worldwide — and Drexler have been tried twice in the case. In the first trial the jury deadlocked on all charges filed against the two. In the second trial, which ended Aug. 22, both were acquitted on nearly all charges. The jury deadlocked again on assault and weapons charges, which may return if prosecutors decide to make a third attempt.
Todd Engel, of Boundary County, was convicted in the first trial of obstruction and traveling across state lines in aid of extortion. His sentencing is set for Sept. 28.
The legislators asked Sessions to “have those in charge of this case end this long enduring action and set Eric Parker and Scott Drexler free, set reasonable bail for Ammon Bundy and allow Todd Engel to use his time served as total sentencing.”
“Further exploitation of these citizens would be an affront to justice and notice to the public of prosecutorial harassment.”

Re: Armed Feds Prepare For Showdown With Nevada Cattle Rancher
This is a video Lt. Colonel (retired) Roy Potter made April 14, 2014. He added this comment after he uploaded it
Governor Sandoval was a former U.S. District Court judge, I believe recommended by Harry Reid. Typical of all federal judges he denies Nevada has jurisdiction even though the liberal 9th circuit has ruled otherwise in numerous cases.
roypotterqa
I added the following information in the description box, as well. Mr. Davis does not talk about the Bundy's Prescriptive Rights, nor the unenforceability of the Enabling Act that Congress used to approve the territory for statehood. I have to emphasize that the Enabling Act has no force of law or regulation or contract once a territory is granted statehood, otherwise the equal footing requirement of the Constitution is violated. In other words, any agrrement made by the representatives of the territory before statehood are null and void once statehood is achieved.
This is a dire issue for many of the western states and must be cited as they take back their lands. For instance, Governor Sandoval of Nevada said he has no authority over any of the lands of Nevada under Fed management (I call this political cowardice). That means, if taken to its logical conclusion, that Nevada does not need a governor, nor sheriffs, because Sandoval has ceded 85% of the state as NOT Nevada!!!!! I hasten to emphasize that the argumenst of the Feds and Sandoval are NOT valid, and the state has EVERY right to repossess the land inside its borders!! This can, should, and must be done!!

Re: Armed Feds Prepare For Showdown With Nevada Cattle Rancher
Ammon Bundy routinely harassed by the Core Civic private prison
Lillie Spencer
September 1 at 10:24pm ·
This is your Federal Govt Officers at work Violating a Innocent man AMMON BUNDY.
Sharing with full permission:
Ammon Bundy was aggressively strip searched 3x before yesterdays court hearing with Scott and Eric. They first took him out of his cell and told him the strip search would not occur, to which he was greatly relieved, this was at 4am which is normal on court mornings. Then they changed their story, put him in a cell and they came in every 20 min with a video camera rolling and said, "Will you submit to our demands and remove all your clothes so you can attend court?" He replied, "I do not consent to being morally violated but I will not resist you if you must violate me." They did this 3 times, and after each reply they came in with a brute team, removed his clothes, examined him and threw him back in the hole. Then they said, "All your other co defendants have submitted to us, YOU are the only trouble maker, Even your brother Ryan finally gave in and complied (which is a lie, he was not stripped naked and examined before or after the hearing AND he was released from the hole), so why don't you just make this easy and take off all your clothes?"
He would not give them consent to violate him and he did not resist them as they video recorded and violated him, yet searching him 3x was not enough to allow him to attend his own hearing since he would not give up his will and rights. The public is told, "Ammon won't submit to searches, so for the safety of the judge and marshals, we can't release him to their care." Even though they searched him 3x and knew he was of no threat to anyone.
This is a power play, to break his spirit, and they are now using the other defendants and even his own family's compliance to try and break him so he will submit to that which he knows is wrong. He will not give up something that he knows is a violation of his moral beliefs and his constitutionally protected rights! He can not, he will not! He is innocent unless proven guilty and he maintains that right even if only in his own spirit.
The final offer they gave was this: "We will let you skip your strip searches from here on out if You let us watch you shower without the privacy wall up when you're nude."
Are you listening to this? Are you hearing this and seeing the physiological torture going on?
Perhaps you might call CCA/Core Civic/ Southern Nevada Detention Center: 775-751-4500 and politely ask them to release Ammon Bundy from Solitary and stop violating him with strip searches.

Re: Armed Feds Prepare For Showdown With Nevada Cattle Rancher
DOJ says treaties trump the Constitution. The ABC agencies use this myth to take jurisdiction in the States while the Constitution limits the federales' jurisdiction to the D.C., Puerto Rico, Territories, Insular Possessions and enclaves purchased with the consent of the State legislature. The EPA and DEA enforce their regulations in the States claiming authorization by treaty. An example is the conviction of Joe Robertson in Montana. Maybe this is how the US District Courts claim to have jurisdiction over the Bundy cases.

Malheur Protest and Bundy supporter Teresa Brookshire believes some of the jury who convicted Gregg Burleson and Scott Engle have found their way to at least one of the groups she posts to . . .
The Oath
September 7 at 11:16pm ·
I have to believe the jury that convicted Greg Burleson and Todd Engel have found their way to at least one of the group's I post to.
To them, I say, read this. Read this and know you convicted both of these men for no reason. No ACTION that they did. I've read statements Greg made. Yes, they were horrible. But, I also know Greg never DID anything that he said he "would have" done. You pleased the court to convict him for life for horrible things he said the year after Bunkerville to a fake documentary group-all FBI agents that gave alcohol to a man inclined to drink alcohol. And then you let him make outrageous statements. FACEBOOK POSTS! Raving tirades made most likely while drinking. If the FBI was SO FEARFUL of Greg, why did they wait 2 years to arrest him for the BS he said?
68 YEARS!!! A blind man, YOU convicted for 68 YEARS! That participated in ZERO VIOLENCE! How can you justify this? Do you sleep at night? I DON'T! And I haven't for almost 20 months!
To the second jury in the Bunkerville trials, you probably didn't know as you were contemplating those 4 men's fate, another jury had been a hung jury for them also. 10-2. But they found two men guilty. The second man is awaiting sentencing. Thank you for not buying into what the prosecution and the judge were selling in this second trial. And now, with your hung jury of 11-1 on Eric Parker and Scott Drexler, they will go to trial a THIRD time. Call AG Sessions and describe what you were up against with the holdout juror. Was she even open to discussing the merits of the case? Express how YOU feel about these men going to trial again.
To every person reading this, I say regardless of what state you are in, call your representatives in masses. Call AG Jeff Session. Write him. And if you were on either jury and now see what you were not allowed to know at the time of the trials, make your voice heard! Are you upset that you NEVER knew about Dan Love? Have you read the motion denying the defense exposing the BLM, the violence? IF YOU DON'T STAND UP NOW, WHEN? Teresa

If the majority of Americans knew the Constitution they would know the Patriot Act does not extend into the States in spite of what the DOJ and corrupt US District Courts claim. Article I Section 8 Clause 17.

BUNDY RANCH: Prosecutors Once Again Found Holding Back Information As Defense Attorneys Prepare For Upcoming Trials
it's all about protecting Special Agent Daniel P. Love
petesantillishow 08/29/2017 News
http://thepetesantillishow.com/wp-co...M-1024x586.png
GMN
PROSECUTORS in Las Vegas got back to work on Monday, and in the case of USA vs Cliven Bundy et al — it was dirty “business as usual.”
It was revealed late Monday afternoon that Steven Myhre and the Department of Justice are refusing to hand over audio recordings they are suspected of having in their possession containing radio transmissions the defense believes are recordings between Special Agent In Charge Daniel P. Love, BLM sniper teams, other tactical personnel, and possible informants who were on the ground surveilling Bundy Ranch as far back as March in 2014.
These recordings are vital to the defense in that the indictment against rancher Cliven Bundy and his co-defendants specifically states that Mr. Bundy and several others told lies and exaggerated the situation between Bundy and the BLM for the purpose of recruiting gunmen to come and help get the rancher’s cattle back. Up and until the first trial which began last February, the BLM denied the use of snipers and other tactical personnel during “Operation Gold Butte” the BLM’s official name for the Bundy Ranch cattle impoundment.
http://thepetesantillishow.com/wp-co...M-1024x238.png
http://thepetesantillishow.com/wp-co...M-1024x354.png
In dash-cam video made public during the first two trials you can clearly hear cross-talk in the background asking agents to move communications to TAC-Le Channel (329) while communicating with ICP communications director Toni Suminski, [SAC] Daniel P. Love, snipers on the mesa, and other BLM tactical gunmen in the wash. Toni Suminski testified in court under oath in the first Bundy trial, that recordings of those transmissions were lost after the the hard drive running the recording software had mysteriously come un-plugged during the protest on April 12, 2014. Defense teams are now asking for recordings captured before that date ..
Suminski also admitted under oath she had shredded garbage bags full of documents concerning Operation Gold Butte that were found in a dumpster at the ICP – saying it was “routine” for her to do that.
TAC LE Channel (329) was never mentioned in documents provided to the defense or on any of the documentation outlining “Operation Gold Butte” plans. The information was brought to light after a researcher listening to background chatter on dash-cam video made public during the last trial – brought it to the attention of defense attorney’s.
http://thepetesantillishow.com/wp-co...M-1024x708.pngSnipers positioned on the Mesa above the Toquop Wash – Bundy Ranch April 12th-2014
United States Park Service sharp-shooter Alexandria Burke, who was on the mesa with other snipers during the protest and trying to get a clear shot to “eliminate” Eric Parker who had taken a prone position to defend himself, is of special interest to investigators for the defense. If there is anything on these recordings of her communicating with other snipers while she was at Bundy Ranch on or before April 12th 2014, the defense feel they are entitled to hear it.
The Jury was under-whelmed by Burkes tearful testimony in the last trial saying her testimony was uncomfortable and that she embarrassed herself and Law Enforcement. They did not believe her testimony to be truthful.
The Incident Commander for Operation Gold Butte, SAC Daniel P. Love, has recently been found guilty of misconduct where before and during an investigation by the Office Of The Inspector General he demanded subordinates destroy damning information about him and others pending a Congressional inquiry. In that investigation witnesses stated two of Love’s lap tops disappeared along with deleted emails, documents, and shredded evidence.
Love is also accused of a series of crimes including the stealing of evidence from artifacts raids he and former FBI Greg Bretzing conducted in 2009 which resulted in the suicide of three of their victims – including that of Dr. James Redd of Blanding, Utah. Prosecutor Steven Myhre failed to alert defense attorneys that an investigation was being conducted against their star witness who is and was Bundy’s #1 accuser. The information was not brought to light until right before the first trial began – where Judge Gloria Navarro had already agreed to a motion filed by the Prosecution to protect SAC Love from testifying during the trial.
Rand Stover, second in command to Dan Love during Operation Gold Butte, and a key prosecution witness, was also involved in a scheme to broaden the scope of hiring practices for Daniel P. Love’s department so that Love’s friend Mark Jucca could be hired over more qualified applicants for a job with the BLM. This information was also held back from the defense by Prosecutor Myhre.
Ironically, the U.S. Attorneys office in Utah has declined prosecuting Love for these heinous crimes while the rancher Cliven Bundy and co-defendants sit in jail awaiting trial.
A lawyer for Love, Lisa Kleine, did not immediately [respond to a] telephone message seeking comment, said Linsay Whitehurst of the Associated Press.
Defense attorney’s contemplate that TAC LE channel (329) was used throughout the operation from the beginning and could likely reveal much needed information that would contradict the Governments insistence that Cliven Bundy and others conspired to lie to the public to get them to come to Bundy Ranch and join in a “massive armed assault” using a made up story about the aggressiveness of BLM special forces who were assaulting the Bundy family even before the impoundment began. They are asking for the recordings of radio transmissions from TAC LE Channel (329) dating back to March of 2014, and so far the Government has refused those request.
Prosecutors’s and the Department of Justice have developed a pattern and history of withholding evidence from the defense for USA vs Cliven Bundy et al — say’s one researcher working on the case; During the retrial of Parker, Drexler, Stewart, and Lovelien – the names, addresses and telephone numbers of FBI personnel who were present at the protest and subsequent witnesses for the prosecution, have been removed from the witness list making it impossible for defense attorney’s to subpoena them. Prosecutors literally refused to disclose witness information to keep the defense from being able to subpoena and question the FBI.

A tribute to Eric Parker from a friend, Michael Mclaughlin . . .
Michael Mclaughlin added 2 new photos — with Eric Ej Parker.
September 6 at 10:33am ·
TORTURE IN AMERICA...
Remembering the Past and Present was the Reflection of the past 12 hours and the Words of a Changed Person whom I call FRIEND & HERO within the same Breath...
The Past brought us together in search for Justice and the Need for Voices to be heard in the Small town of Burns Oregon about the Injustice Served to Dwight and Steven Hammond by the Local BLM and Forest Service Personnel and the Oregon US Attorney who's Hate filled Bias and Lies were the Reasons for a 5 year Federal Prison Sentence as "Domestic Terrorists" for burning roughly 140 Acres of Sagebrush...
The Passion within Eric Parker's Heart, the Kindness in his Eyes, and the Caring in his Voice were the Unmistakable signs of a Leader of Men and to this Friendship I and others were Drawn like Kindred Spirits from another Time and Place...
In the End of the Stand in Burns Oregon, We both had Faced Many Trials Together and Seen First Hand the Pain of an Entire County/State Torn Apart by What was Done to an INNOCENT RANCHER and His Family by the BLM and the USFS and the Oregon US Attorney and the Governor of Oregon...We had Seen the MURDER of Lavoy Finicum whom We Both Called "FRIEND" by the Hands of the FBI and OSP... WE had Both Seen the Illegal Arrest and Detainment of Ammon Bundy and the Core Group of the Refuge Stand along with Innocent Supporters...
WE HAD BECOME "BROTHER'S" Thru Trials of Fire & Pain...
The Last Hug was on the Steps of the Capital of Idaho Capital Building again Showing Support for Lavoy Finicum...
Days later the News of Violent Arrests by the FBI concerning INNOCENT AMERICANS who had as Individuals Made Personal Decisions to Defend the Personal Safety of Women, Children, and again INNOCENT RANCHERS at Bunkerville Nevada from Harms Way by Heavily Armed BLM Snipers and Heavily Armed BLM Ground Personnel...
For the Past 18 Months and the Words of Someone Who has Seen the Personal Side of "Torture" within the Walls of Solitary Confinement of Federal Custody, Within the Seclusion of NEVER Holding or Hugging a Daughter, a Son, a Wife, Because of the Denial of Bail, or the Haunting Dreams and Memory of the Day When the Eyes of the FBI Collection Team Members Showed the Willingness to KILL & MURDER Without Hesitation or Remorse...
Yesterday... The Moments of LOVE between Brothers when My "HERO & FRIEND" were finally able to HUG again as Those who have Seen the Past and Future TOGETHER...
Eric Ej Parker, You are still the Same Man Because it would be Impossible to Change who you are INSIDE YOUR HEART... But you are a Part of the HISTORY OF AMERICA NOW...
Larger and With More Meaning and Purpose and on a Path to a Future of Leadership which was always in GOD'S PLAN...And your Soul Mate in this Life and Eternity has been the INSPIRATION OF MANY who only know Her as Andrea Olson-Parker, is also a part of the HISTORY OF AMERICA...
As a Friend said Yesterday...
THANK YOU BOTH FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THIS COUNTRY AND NATION and now WE can Pray together for the Release of other INNOCENT AMERICAN POLITICAL PRISONERS that are Held without Reason, without Cause, without Mercy, and without Bail....
GOD BLESS YOU Eric & Andrea Parker !!!

whose trial is set for commence in approximately a month and a half. As Bundy was indicted by
the former Obama administration, through its Justice Department, it is requested that the Attorney
General’s staff conduct a de novo review to avoid manifest injustice in order to determine whether
to proceed with the prosecution
Attached is a column that Bundy’s undersigned counsel, also the founder of Judicial Watch,
Inc., and now Freedom Watch, Inc., authored which also provides a brief history of this case.

APNewsBreak: US agent out at BLM after Burning Man probe
By LINDSAY WHITEHURST, Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A federal agent who had been scrutinized for his handling of rare evidence as well as behavior at the counterculture Burning Man festival is no longer an employee of the Bureau of Land Management, authorities said Friday.
Daniel Love, who played a command role in federal agents’ 2014 standoff with Nevada rancher and states’ rights figure Cliven Bundy, no longer works for the agency, spokeswoman Megan Crandall told the Associated Press.
She did not answer questions about the timing or circumstances of his departure, citing federal privacy laws.
A lawyer for Love, Lisa Kleine, did not immediately return messages seeking comment. There was no answer at a publicly listed phone number for him.
Love still worked for the agency on Aug. 24, when a federal investigative report was released saying he handed out valuable stones known as moqui marbles to colleagues and a contractor “like candy,” as one witness told investigators.
The rocks are unique geological formations of iron oxide that form in sedimentary rock and the agency was holding them as evidence in an investigation into whether they were illegally collected from an unnamed national park, according to a U.S. Department of Interior report.
It also found Love told an employee to delete some emails that contained bureau information requested by then-U.S. Rep. Jason Chaffetz in 2016.
Another report released in January faulted Love for using his role overseeing security at the Burning Man festival in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert to buy otherwise unavailable sold-out tickets and having agents drive around his family during the Nevada event in 2015, as well as manipulating a job search for a friend.
The Bundy cattle roundup pitted weapon-toting Bundy supporters against heavily armed BLM agents who, in the end, gave up efforts to collect Bundy cattle for nonpayment of grazing fees.
Love also led agents in a 2009 southern Utah artifact-looting investigation that marked an early skirmish in the Western U.S. conflict over control of public lands.
He was sued for over the artifacts raid by family of a doctor, James Redd, who killed himself after he was arrested. That case was later dismissed.

Raul Labrador Weighs in on Bunkerville Standoff
by Shari Dovale
Earlier this month, nearly a third of the current Idaho Legislature had signed on to a letter in support of the Idaho residents currently being persecuted in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Federal government is prosecuting these men for their part in a protest held Bunkerville, NV in 2014.
Spearheaded by Rep. Dorothy Moon, the letter was signed by 33 current state legislators and 5 former legislators. Since then, the number of sponsors to the letter has increased to a reported 53.
The letter was addressed to US Attorney General Jeff Sessions, with copies going to President Donald Trump, multiple US elected/appointed officials as well as all the principals in the court.
Though the letter reached the Court prior to the pre-trial hearing, it had already been decided to put Eric Parker and Scott Drexler in with the Tier One defendants. That trial is scheduled to begin on October 10th.
Just this week, Congressman Raul Labrador added his sponsorship with an additional letter to AG Sessions. He includes:
The failure to secure guilty verdicts in two different trials with two different juries should serve as evidence of the weakness of the government’s case and should be taken into account as a third trial is contemplated. There is a strong possibility that a miscarriage of justice is being committed.
This is the latest request of the current administration to look into this personal vendetta of the Federal Court system. Multiple online petitions have been signed with the most prominent being from political strategist Roger Stone, who says:
No more well-defined example of the injustices wrought by the hands of an out-of-control Federal Government can be found than the case of the Bundy Family from the State of Nevada, whose multiple family members rot in a Federal Prison on this very day.
Representative Labrador did ask for a timely response from the Attorney General, so we will wait patiently, albeit a bit anxiously.

Re: Armed Feds Prepare For Showdown With Nevada Cattle Rancher
Dan Love's firing, posted on facebook, with a youtube video.
The Oath
21 hrs ·
Chas, would you mind copying and pasting the following to post? Thx.
Wannabe "operator" Daniel P. Love, the jackbooted Bureau of Land Management thug who led the assault on the Bundy Ranch protestors in 2014, has been fired by the BLM after two blistering reports by the Office of the Inspector General detailing his official misconduct and ethical violations were published.
The first report, published on January 20th, 2017, stated, "the Supervisory Agent (Love) used his official position to provide preferential treatment to his family members while attending the (Burning Man) event; directed five on-duty BLM law enforcement officers to escort his family and provide security for them at the event; and (Love's) family received overnight lodging in BLM-leased facilities."
According to the report, Love also, "violated Federal ethics rules when he used his influence with Burning Man officials to obtain three sold-out tickets and special passes for his father, girlfriend, and a family friend. We (OIG investigators) confirmed that (Love's) girlfriend stayed overnight with him in his BLM assigned trailer, contrary to restrictions in the operations plan for the event."
"He also violated Federal ethics regulations by having a subordinate employee make a hotel reservation for his guests. On at least one occasion, he misused his BLM official vehicle when he transported his girlfriend while at the event."
Further, the report concludes that Love, "improperly intervened in the April 2015 hiring process for a BLM special agent position after he learned that a friend did not make the initial list of candidates to be interviewed."
The report published on August 24th states, "We (OIG investigators) found that the senior manager instructed his subordinate to remove moqui marbles from the evidence room and give them to him, which violated BLM and U.S. Department of the Interior evidence policy, and that he gave marbles to several people, including BLM employees and a contractor who had worked on a project in the OLES office."
"We also confirmed that the senior manager had his subordinate use the senior manager’s computer and personal login information to search the senior manager’s emails for messages pertinent to the document requests, and to “scrub” any messages that could harm the senior manager or any in which he used demeaning or derogatory language."
"(Love's) actions violated Federal security and records management policy as well as various regulations and guidance related to the conduct of Federal employees."

Re: Armed Feds Prepare For Showdown With Nevada Cattle Rancher
Have the feds retaliated against the Idaho legislature letter? I s there govt. sanctioned retaliation against Todd Engel?
Are the Feds Retaliating Against Legislator Letter?
IS THERE GOVERNMENT-SANCTIONED RETALIATION AGAINST THIS CITIZEN?

Are the Feds Retaliating Against Legislator Letter?
By Shari Dovale
The Bunkerville Standoff trial has taken several new turns. Seven defendants are preparing to head back to Judge Gloria Navarro’s courtroom on October 10th. There is only about 19 days remaining before jury selection begins.
Two defendants, Eric Parker and Scott Drexler will have their third trials rolled over into the Tier 1 trial of Cliven, Ammon, and Ryan Bundy, Pete Santilli and Ryan Payne.
The two attorneys for Parker and Drexler, Jesse Marchese and Todd Leventhal, showed themselves to be rock-stars in the last trial, so it is anticipated that they will have a high profile role in the upcoming proceedings. The government is certainly going to have to work for their paycheck with these two on board.
Cliven Bundy, patriarch of the Bundy Family, has just fired his attorney of record, Bret Whipple. There is no word as to whether Bundy has plans to hire another attorney, or possibly even represent himself. Whipple has requested an emergency hearing on the matter due to the fast approaching proceedings.
Ryan Bundy is still trying to organize his team. His court-appointed standby counsel, Angela Dows, attempted to thwart him by filing a motion without his consent. It’s been said that the motion was asking to have him declared incompetent to represent himself. When that did not work out for her, she requested to withdraw from the trial. The hearing on this motion was Thursday and Ryan was not physically present.
Again, CCA (Core Civic) Prisons are continuing with their strip searches of all prisoners before and after each hearing. Ryan has reportedly had so many issues with the guards that he has filed a separate lawsuit against CCA about these strip searches. There is no word as to whether his brother, Ammon, has joined Ryan in this lawsuit
Because of the constant contention between the guards and these prisoners, Bundy did not get on the bus for the trip from Pahrump to Las Vegas for the motion hearing. He was allowed to take part through telephonic means.
Judge Navarro was reluctant to rule, and ended the day by refusing to make any ruling at all. Reports indicate that Navarro told Dows that she only had to be present in the courtroom on standby, if needed. She was not even required to sit at the same table as her client. It seems to me that this could present a prejudice to the jury from the very first day.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...ws-231x300.jpg
In related news, Todd Engel was originally scheduled to be sentenced for his participation in the Bunkerville Protests in July of this year. Engel filed to have his court appointed standby attorney removed from his case for not providing him with good counsel. The court granted that request and appointed David Fisher in his stead.
This seemed like a good move for Engel at the time, however, the two have only spoken together twice since the appointment. Engel attempts to contact his attorney on a daily basis, yet he has not been able to reach him.
The pre-sentencing reports that were done for Engel after his conviction in April recommended 230 months in prison. The report was, admittedly, in error and 3 points were removed from the calculations used for sentencing guidelines. It was corrected to recommend a range nearer to 12 years incarceration.
A majority of the Idaho Legislature recently sent a letter in support of the Idaho defendants, including Engel. Among other things, this letter requested minimum sentencing for Engel. It was delivered to the court prior to the hearing on August 31, 2017.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...er-235x300.jpg
It was after the court, as well as Attorney General Jeff Sessions, received this letter that the probation department decided to re-run their math calculations for Engel. They have added many more points, seemingly arbitrarily. They are now recommending what is thought to be a full sentence of over 20 years incarceration.
The timing seems very suspect in this case. It would appear that there is government-sanctioned retaliation against this citizen. The elected officials from Idaho standing up for their constituents appears to have gotten ‘under the skin’ of our Federal government.
I hope this is mere coincidence, but currently, it is very hard to determine.
