Is the Bunkerville Prosecution Afraid of Redoubt News?
By Shari Dovale
Monday morning began the jury selection in the Bunkerville Standoff Trial-Of-The-Century in Las Vegas, Nevada.
For several months, I have been in Las Vegas covering other proceedings in this case. I was present during the previous trial, in which a jury could not convict four defendants of the same charges the current defendants are facing.
I was in the courtroom throughout the previous month for every hearing and motion the public was allowed to watch. But, I have always been present as a part of the general public, never as authorized media.
The US Marshals have seen my credentials on multiple occasions and have consistently refused me media-status. The only reason I have ever been given is that I am “alternative” media and not “Main Stream”.
Well, that proved to be more of the government’s deceit towards the people today, when Redoubt News was the only credential-carrying news source that was denied entry as media. Redoubt News was barred from the official priority media seating, however, all other alternative media outlets were allowed entry.
These outlets included Left-wing radical Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and another left-leaning enviro site, High Country News. The Federal court has made it clear that the left-wing radical alternative media is acceptable, as they will push the agenda the government wants the public to hear.
Redoubt News, however, forces transparency by printing what they do not want you to see. The truth of this trial needs to be open for the country to see.
Redoubt News has published, by far, the majority of articles on this issue and these trials, even to the point of being cited in a motion concerning public perception of Judge Gloria Navarro.
We have shown the bias of the government, and they are showing their fear of the truth and transparency.
They can refuse to recognize Redoubt News, but we are going to keep reporting what happens in the courtroom.

Prosecution calls [the] government liars, protesting defense’s 1000 page motion, which is actually less than 30 pages not counting prosecution supplied attachments from Office of Inspector General
Prosecution Calls Government Liars
THE PROSECUTION CONTINUED TO WHINE ABOUT THEIR WORKLOAD AND REQUESTED A 60-DAY EXTENSION TO RESPOND.

Prosecution Calls Government Liars
by Staff
The Bunkerville Standoff Trial-Of-The-Century began with a bang this weekend, even before jury selection got underway Monday morning.
A motion filed on behalf of defendant Ryan Payne this weekend addressed the prosecution’s requested extension to respond to Payne’s sealed motion.
Specifically, Ryan Payne filed a motion to dismiss the case based on a report from the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) and it’s attachments. The court had ordered the prosecution to turn over the report’s attachments to the defense. There are hundreds of pages of attachments to the report, which concerns SAC Dan Love, the incident commander of the 2014 cattle gathering operation.
Payne included the attachments in his motion. The motion is less than 30 pages by itself. The government was due to respond to this motion, yet complained that they did not have the time to go through a thousand page motion. This was a blatant exaggeration, as the attachments are the same documents they were already familiar with and were forced to share with the defense.
Yet, the prosecution continued to whine about their workload and requested a 60-day extension to respond. The court granted them an extension until December 11th, roughly 5 weeks.
Payne’s lawyers responded this past weekend with some interesting points.
From motion # 2792, filed 10/27/17:The prosecution seems to think that the Inspector General’s Office is not accurate in their reporting, and it’s documents cannot be trusted. The report is accurate enough to fire Dan Love from the Bureau of Land Management. It is accurate enough for our elected officials. It is accurate enough for Washington DC bureaucrats. Yet it is not accurate to the Federal prosecutors?
Even during this week’s hearing, for example, the government’s counsel referred to the allegations as “innuendo,” and suggested that the conclusions reached by the OIG reports were incorrect. The attachments show that the evidence of the incident commander’s misconduct is serious, extensive, well-documented by credible sources, and (most importantly for purposes of this case) relevant to the 2014 cattle gathering operation that he planned and ran.
If we cannot trust this branch of government (OIG) then how can we be expected to trust any other branch of government (like the BLM) or, more importantly, the judiciary branch (the Federal Courts)? With the prosecution calling out the credibility of the OIG, how can any part of the Federal government retain any credibility at all?
If Navarro allows the prosecution this very long extension, it will be almost impossible to get any relief for the defendants, should this motion prevail. They will have gone through weeks of trial, weeks of not being allowed a release hearing, or any other possible relief they are due. The citizens will have spent millions of dollars on weeks of hearings that may be avoided.
Judge Navarro needs to start thinking about what is the right thing to do, not what does the prosecution want me to do?

Posted by Scott Rother on Tuesday, October 31, 2017http://lessgovisthebestgov.com/blog/...Bundy-pics.jpg
Dateline: Las Vegas, Nevada… The home of gambling and prostitution… sometimes jokingly referred to as “Sin City”. This is the place where a team of United States Attorneys working for the Department of Justice are endeavoring once again to convict four God fearing, law abiding, Christian men of a myriad of serious crimes, all of them felonies, not the least of which is a criminal charge of conspiracy against the United States.
Cliven Bundy, Ammon Bundy, Ryan Bundy, and Ryan Payne have all spent most of the last two years in jail. They are the real victims of this conspiracy… a government conspiracy directed at them and their way of life. They are the actual victims of a government vendetta which was begun by Attorneys General Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch during the Obama Administration and which is now being carried out by Jeff Sessions in the Trump Administration. While the Bundys are the ones with the bull’s eye on their backs… in a broader sense this prosecution is targeting all ranchers in western States.
Inside the Federal Courthouse every aspect of this trial is being very tightly controlled from the shackles on the defendants’ feet to reports of the proceedings emanating from within those walls… and just like the events in that courthouse almost everything else that anyone does in the State of Nevada is also tightly regulated by the United States government. That is because ninety percent of the land in the State of Nevada is in fact just like that courthouse.. It is owned and administered by the federal government. Here are a few other facts that you may not know about this trial…
All of these defendants have been denied bail They have spent most of the last two years in jail. Two of them have been beaten nearly to death and placed in solitary confinement for extended periods of time. Three of them have been prosecuted twice, once in Oregon and once in Nevada. Two of them have faced a jury of their peers twice. While they have been languishing in prison waiting for their day in court… the government has produced numerous other indictments accusing their supporters and defenders with various other crimes. These indictments have resulted in two hung juries and two mistrials being declared. Altogether there have been four trials so far and this one is the fifth . Hopefully it is the last.
That brings me to the question of why the Bundys are really being prosecuted in the first place. The government claims it is because Cliven Bundy refused to pay the grazing fees for his cattle over a period of time so in 2014 the BLM tried to impound his cattle in order to collect the money he owed them. This provoked the infamous standoff in Bunkerville where hundreds of Americans from all around the country rallied to his support..
The government’s narrative is completely implausible as the exact same government which thinks nothing at all about being over 20 trillion dollars in debt and prints money like it is going out of style now is desperate for Cliven Bundy’s grazing fees…
The truth of the matter is that the Bundys are really being prosecuted because they have challenged the legitimacy of the government’s unconstitutional occupation of over 700 million acres of land in twelve western states since California became a State in 1850. The ongoing occupation of this land violates the Equal Footing Principle of the Constitution by which all new States are supposed to be admitted to the Union on the same basis as all of the other States.
There is no State prior to the admission of California in 1850 in which the Federal government owns more than a few thousand acres of land on which the Constitution says it can build “forts, and ports, and other needful buildings”. In today’s parlance that consists of military bases, naval installations, ports, dockyards, and other government facilities like post offices and Federal Courthouses like the one in which this trial is being held.
There is nothing in the United States Constitution that gives Congress or the President the power to create Federal Monuments or National Parks, or a bird sanctuary in the State of Oregon. That is why the government is going after the Bundy family with such a vengeance…
They have called for an end to this unconstitutional occupation of land in America’s twelve western States. The amount of land that Congress controls is staggering. It is 25% of all the land in the country. That is more than the size of most other countries.. Think about that as you watch the shenanigans of this trial unfold…
and be very skeptical of anything that you read about it or hear about it in the mainstream media.

Trial-of-the-Century Gets a Jury in Las Vegas
JURORS WILL RETURN TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 7TH, FOR OPENING ARGUMENTS.

Trial-of-the-Century Gets a Jury in Las Vegas
by Shari Dovale
The Trial-of-the-Century is fully underway in Las Vegas, Nevada. Four men face charges related to the Bunkerville Standoff in April 2014.
71-year-old Cliven Bundy, two of his sons, Ryan and Ammon, as well as Montana resident Ryan Payne are accused of being the leaders behind the standoff. This event saw the Bureau of Land Management, under discredited Special Agent in Charge (SAC) Dan Love, stop the court-ordered cattle rustling that had begun near the southern Nevada town.
Over four days this week, prosecutors and defense whittled a large group of prospective jurors down to 12 with 4 alternates. A diverse group, they are prepared to serve for an estimated four months.
Jurors will return Tuesday morning, November 7th, for opening arguments. Meanwhile, the attorneys continue with a full schedule in preparation for the opening on Tuesday.
An evidentiary hearing will conclude Friday morning on a motion by Ryan Payne to dismiss the entire case based on an Office of Inspector General (OIG) report and it’s attachments.
Judge Navarro chose to delay the very important hearing in favor of jury selection, which gives every impression that she has already made up her mind to rule against the motion to dismiss. The best the defendants can hope for, under those circumstances, is a directed jury instruction.
The evidentiary hearing is based on the apparent destruction of important, and exculpatory, documents in the ‘Operation Gold Butte’ event, as named by the BLM. It is important to remember that Dan Love testified in this hearing, via SKYPE, from Salt Lake City.
When attorneys Bret Whipple (who represents Cliven Bundy) and Dan Hill (who represents Ammon Bundy) questioned Love regarding Love’s phone calls with the U.S. Attorneys Office during the standoff, prosecutor Steven Myhre sternly objected. Whipple asked if (then-U. S. Attorney) Daniel Bogden had instructed Love to release the cattle. Myhre objected, claiming the U.S. Attorney had no authority to issue such an instruction. However, Daniel Love stated that the order to surrender and release the cows was given immediately after he spoke to Bogden.
This revelation raises the question of whether the Justice Department deliberately entrapped the Bundys, and made a showing of releasing the cattle solely to set up the Bundys to be prosecuted. Was Love directed by the highest-ranking federal prosecutor in Nevada to release the cattle, so that the Justice Department could stage this elaborate criminal prosecution?
Further testimony by Kent Klemen further implicated the US Attorney’s office in the what appears to be quite the cover up. Kleman was in charge of the investigation of the shredded documents.
During Kleman‘s testimony, it was revealed that Acting US Attorney, Steven Myhre, not only asked Kleman to investigate this issue, but set the parameters and directed the course of the investigation. This puts a large “Conflict of Interest” stamp on Myhre’s forehead.
Myhre made repeated attempts to shut down this testimony, calling it ‘privileged’, yet it continued with more details.
It would seem that when the original motion was filed by the defense in October 2016, Myhre called Kleman at that time to determine what happened. Kleman then spoke with Myhre at least weekly for the next year, discussing all aspects of the investigation.
During the investigation, Kleman admitted that he did NOT talk to all the principals involved in the event. This investigator testified that he was told of a “hurried shredding event” yet never bothered to ask WHY they were doing the shredding, though he was told that Command Staff were assisting. In light of this knowledge, it is amazing that Kleman never bothered to ask WHO directed them to shred the documents.
The trial is estimated to last four months, with a few days off for pre-scheduled events, including holidays. The gallery is expected to be full with supporters traveling from around the country to witness the testimony, as well as several media outlets expected on key days.
A final trial for the remaining defendants is not expected to begin until 30 days after a verdict is reached in this trial.

Cliven Bundy, Cows And The Constitution
April 10, 2014 By KrisAnne Hall 21 Comments
Cliven Bundy, is a Nevada rancher standing in defiance of a 2013 federal court order requiring his family to cease and desist cattle grazing on land that their family has used since 1887. Shiree Bundy Cox, daughter to Cliven Bundy explains this background:
“My great grandpa bought the rights to the Bunkerville allotment back in 1887 around there. Then he sold them to my grandpa who then turned them over to my dad in 1972. These men bought and paid for their rights to the range and also built waters, fences and roads to assure the servival (sic) of their cattle, all with their own money, not with tax dollars.”
So what’s the problem? The federal government came into the picture with gifts of plastic beads and promises to “help” the ranchers manage this land. The RANCHERS then paid a fee to the Bureau of Land Management to pay the salaries and keep the department operating under the premise that the BLM would be working to help the ranchers better their usage of the land. But just like all negotiations with government, the money got big and the federal control got even bigger.
Ms. Cox explains:
“[To] to keep the cows from over grazing, came the bureau of land management. They were supposed to assist the ranchers in the management of their ranges while the ranchers paid a yearly allotment which was to be use[d] to pay the BLM wages and to help with repairs and improvements of the ranches. My dad did pay his grazing fees for years to the BLM until they were no longer using his fees to help him and to improve. Instead they began using these money’s (sic) against the ranchers.”
This is not a case of a gray area of personal property vs. federal property. And now we are repeating a history of Kings and Tyrants because we forgot that the federal government has no Constitutional right to own land. Period. The only authority for federal land ownership is through precedent and practice. As a matter of fact, James Madison WARNED us of this very tyranny in 1792:
“I, sir, have always conceived — I believe those who proposed the Constitution conceived — it is still more fully known, and more material to observe, that those who ratified the Constitution conceived — that this is not an indefinite government, deriving its powers from the general terms prefixed to the specified powers – but a limited government, tied down to the specified powers, which explain and define the general terms.”
Our founders went to great pains to create a limited and defined federal government so we would not have to negotiate with Kings. With amazing foresight, Madison explains the consequence of allowing the federal government to turn these “clauses” into defined powers:
“If Congress can employ money indefinitely to the general welfare, and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare, they may take the care of religion into their Own hands; they may appoint teachers in every state, county, and parish, and pay them out of their public treasury; they may take into their own hands the education of children, establishing in like manner schools throughout the Union; they may assume the provision for the poor; they may undertake the regulation of all roads other than post-roads; in short, everything, from the highest object of state legislation down to the most minute object of police, would be thrown under the power of Congress; for every object I have mentioned would admit of the application of money, and might be called, if Congress pleased, provisions for the general welfare…”
Madison knew exactly what would happen if we ignored his warnings:
“I venture to declare it as my opinion that, were the power of Congress to be established in the latitude contended for, it would subvert the very foundations, and transmute the very nature of the limited government established by the people of America.”
Make no mistake, what is happening to Cliven Bundy and his family is the direct fulfillment of Madison’s warnings. We are seeing just what it looks like to “transmute the very nature of the limited government established by the people of America.” Madison will, in a few years, identify this type of government as one who will be “transformed” from the “present republican system” into “an absolute, or, at best, mixed monarchy.”(Virginia Assembly Report 1800) What is the greatest indication that this has already occurred? Alexander Hamilton gives us a telltale sign. In Federalist Paper #78 Hamilton warns that if the People allow the federal government to maintain unconstitutional legislative power, we will declare “that the deputy is greater than his principal; that the servant is above his master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the people themselves; that men acting by virtue of powers, may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid.”
These are the times we live in. Congress continually creates unconstitutional laws, unconstitutional agencies, and unconstitutional regulation of powers that were to remain in the States. Now, We The People suffer a government that feels it is superior to the People themselves and has the power to rule and reign over them. That, Patriot, is NOT a republic, that is a Kingdom…just as Madison warned.
But don’t worry, the Congressional Research Service has issued a report that says the federal government is perfectly legal in their ownership of land. Rich, isn’t it? That the federal government can tell us what they can and cannot do? I thought we were a government “established among men deriving their just powers from the CONSENT of the GOVERNED.”
In the “Federal Land Ownership: Overview and Data” report issued February 8, 2012, the Congressional Research Service, the brain of Congress, declares that they have the RIGHT to own land. But they can only arrive at this conclusion if we are ignorant of the proper limitation of power for the federal government.
Madison explains in Federalist Paper 45,
“The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined… The [federal powers] will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce… the powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State.” (emphasis mine)
But the CRS says their right to own land comes from the ability to create States. That is a complete misapplication of this power. There is NOTHING in the Constitution about the federal government seizing land that is already part of a State and controlling it. As a matter of fact, Madison says the EXACT OPPOSITE. This is CLEARLY a power that is “reserved to the several States”. But since they do not have legal authority they will, as mentioned before, cite “practice and precedent” as the source of their power.
The States have been struggling with the federal government over land for a very long time. And the acquiescence of the States to the usurped power, has created the problems in Nevada today. The CRS clearly states the purpose for federal land:
“Federal lands and resources have been important in American history, adding to the strength and stature of the federal government, serving as an attraction and opportunity for settlement and economic development, and providing a source of revenue for schools, transportation, national defense, and other national, state, and local needs.”
And the federal government has added to its strength to the point that the States are no longer the masters over their creation, but the federal government is supreme over the States. Pay close attention to the “results” of ownership of federal lands and resources…”schools, transportation, and other national, state, and local needs.” This is EXACTLY what Madison warned us would happen if we did not prevent the Congress from obtaining unlimited spending and unlimited power.
From the beginning, federal ownership was not supposed to be permanent. But the government never gives up anything once it has control. In 1976 with the enactment of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA), Congress decided that all the remaining federal land would remain in federal ownership.
No more honoring their “expanded” boundaries, they are going to expand them even further into permanent ownership. This sparked what became known as the Sagebrush Rebellion, an effort to provide state or local control over federal land and management decisions. How did the States choose to fight Congress over the possession of State land? In the federal court system. How do you think this is going to work out? You guessed it. The CRS practically “brags” about it:
“To date, judicial challenges and legislative and executive efforts generally have not resulted in broad changes to the level of federal ownership.”
This is NOT an issue of ranchers and cows. This is NOT about turtles and the environment. It is NOT about missed payment of fees. The feds are going to spend significantly more enforcing the fees, than the loss of the fees themselves. This is NOT about enforcing federal laws. How can cows grazing on land they have been eating from since 1887 be viewed as illegal, and yet the federal government allows illegal aliens to cross borders. Let us not forget, that Congress is trying to change immigration laws to fit the criminals. But when it comes to a man and his cows, we have to enforce this with SWAT teams! Really?
This IS an issue of a federal government completely out of control that acts more like a Kingdom than a republic. The question remains, America, what kind of government do YOU want? A Kingdom or a Republic? The choice is ours, because the powers delegated to this government do come from the consent of the governed. What are you willing to consent to?

“Bad Faith!” Govt Caught Withholding Evidence – AGAIN!
By Shari Dovale
During a final day of testimony in an evidentiary hearing for the Bunkerville Standoff, it was confirmed that there was live video for at least four days of the Bundy Ranch house being played in Dan Love’s office.
The hearing was granted to investigate the allegations of the BLM and/or FBI destroying vital exculpatory evidence prior to their leaving the scene at the Bunkerville Standoff on April 12, 2014.
Multiple witnesses testified that they saw a large screen TV set up in the command center that showed a continuous live stream of the Bundy Ranch. This video has been asked about for many months, yet the government prosecutors have always said that it did not exist.
It was also stated that no search warrant had been seen for this video. This would only add more violations of these defendants rights by including the Fourth Amendment.
Once it was confirmed through testimony, AUSA Nadia Ahmed attempted to downplay the video, and even asked why it mattered. She stated that the camera was located on public land, recording a road nearby, and just “happened” to be pointed towards the Bundy Ranch.
Attorney for Cliven Bundy, Bret Whipple, gave an impassioned argument to dismiss the case based on this new evidence. “Three-and-a-half years and two trials and this is the first we learned there is a live stream,” Whipple said.
“In what plausible situation could there be a live feed and we only find out about it now?” Whipple asked. “It is Bad Faith!”
Whipple had been careful to specifically ask the witnesses about what they saw, or did not see, on the live feed. “On that live feed, did you observe any activity that would support the allegations of Conspiracy to Commit an Offense Against the United States?” Whipple then continued with the other allegations. Each response was a resounding “No.”
As expected, Judge Gloria Navarro discounted the new evidence and ruled against the motion to dismiss. She did say that attorneys could file a new motion based on the new evidence, but stated that the hearing was only supposed to cover the shredded documents, not video of the ranch house.
There are further questions on the belief that there is a second camera that was used by the BLM during the standoff. The government, as before, denies it’s existence.

Published on Nov 4, 2017 At the request of producer, William Wagener, I travelled to Las Vegas to get this short interview with Shawna Cox, who was riding in the back of the vehicle the day Lavoy Finicum (was he unarmed?) was shot and killed by federal agents at a blockade/ambush. I had a mere 20 minutes of time to talk with Shawna, so here is the entire interview.
I may have misspoke, assuming LaVoy was unarmed. After reviewing the helicopter video footage I can't tell if LaVoy was reaching in his jacket for a firearm, but could you blame him if he was? Some believe that the gun "found" on his person was planted.
In Nevada, according to federal court records, Bundy quit renewing his BLM grazing permits in 1992 – and quit paying the grazing fees. A federal judge ordered him off the BLM land, but a second federal judge ruled last July that Bundy's cattle continued munching away on the allotment and were trespassing on other federal land in Nevada.
Years of conflict between Bundy and the BLM boiled into view last month, when the federal agency moved to round up and remove his cattle. Bundy has steadfastly maintained the federal government doesn't own the ground and he has historic rights to graze.
Would you say that the government is overbearing, or is the Bundy Ranch out of control?

The Bundy Trial has not gone well for Assistant U.S. Attorney Myhre
Prosecution Scrutinized in Bunkerville Standoff Trial

Prosecution Scrutinized in Bunkerville Standoff Trial
by Shari Doval
The Bunkerville Standoff trial in Las Vegas, Nevada has not gone well for the
The conviction rate for Federal Prosecutions are extraordinarily high, with most years showing higher than 99%. Between guilty pleas and trials, the conviction rate was 99.8% in U.S. federal courts in 2015: 126,802 convictions and 258 acquittals. That wasn’t an anomaly. In 2014 the conviction rate was 99.76% and in 2013 it was 99.75%.
However, in the high-profile Bunkerville Standoff case, the prosecution is lowering the rate considerably.
19 people were indicted and incarcerated over the protest that ended with the Bureau of Land Management releasing Cliven Bundy’s cattle. A few defendants have taken plea offers, notably Blaine Cooper and Gerald Delemus.
The majority of the defendants have chosen to go to trial. The first trial early this year had 6 men facing 10 charges each, including 2 conspiracy charges, for a total of 60 charges. Greg Burleson was convicted of 8 of 10 charges, and was sentenced to 68 years in Federal prison. He was not convicted of the conspiracy charges.
Todd Engel was convicted of two of the lesser charges. He is scheduled to be sentenced in December. The remaining charges for these two men, as well as the other 4 defendants, were declared a mistrial when the jury could not agree on verdicts.
https://redoubtnews.com/wp-content/u...er-678x381.jpgPhoto of defendants night of their release. (Facebook)
The prosecution chose to retry the 4 this summer. The second trial ended with full acquittals for Steven Stewart and Rick Lovelein, and a majority of acquittals for Scott Drexler and Eric Parker. Drexler had 2 remaining charges and Parker was left with 4 charges.
The prosecution immediately announced they would go for a third trial against these two men, incorporating their third trial into the trial of the “leaders” of the standoff, Cliven Bundy, two of his sons, Ammon and Ryan, as well as Ryan Payne and internet radio host, Pete Santilli.
The prosecution started offering plea agreements to most of the defendants, including Parker, Drexler, Santilli and Ammon Bundy. Then, the tragedy of October first, the Las Vegas shooting, happened just days before the trial was to begin.
The prosecution immediately withdrew their plea agreements. These men would have to face the jury during the initial aftermath of a city still in shock.
Santilli’s attorney, Chris Rasmussen, worked diligently to work a plea agreement for a single felony count of Conspiracy for his client, which was accepted. Ammon Bundy was offered the same deal, a single felony charge with time served, and he could go home. He refused to negotiate, insisting he would go to trial.
The prosecution, which had initially offered Parker and Drexler misdemeanor plea agreements, tried to coerce Parker into accepting a felony charge, which he adamantly refused. They even tried to tie it to defendant Drexler’s offer, basically telling them that Drexler could not get a misdemeanor if Parker did not accept the felony. The men stood strong, as they had during this entire ordeal, and the prosecution relented. Both men accepted misdemeanor plea agreements.

This still did not do much for the prosecution’s conviction rate, as they had 2 chances to convict the “Bundy Bridge Sniper” and could not get better than a small misdemeanor charge of obstructing a court order.
“Any person that goes to a protest better be prepared for an obstruction charge. That is the point of going to a protest,” Eric Parker said after the change of plea hearing.
Members of this same Bundy family were acquitted in another high-profile Federal case in Portland, Oregon just last year. This has increased the already enormous amount of pressure Acting US Attorney Steven Myhre is under to obtain convictions on the remaining defendants.
This family and group of Patriots have already beaten the odds. Will their luck hold out? Will prosecutor Myhre, and his inability to gain convictions, continue to be the topic of discussion?
The jury was selected this week in Las Vegas and opening arguments are scheduled to begin on Tuesday morning, November 7th.

Trial of the CenturySummarizing the Week
byTerry Noonkester
Cliven Bundy, sons Ammon Bundy, and Ryan Bundy, and co-defendant Ryan Payne are accused of conspiring to block federal agents from enforcing court orders when the BLM tried to confiscate Cliven Bundy’s cattle. The cattle were on public land where the ranch had grazing and water rights since the late 1800’s. The government’s actions resulted in the deaths of approximately 100 head of cattle and the destruction of the Bundy’s livestock watering system built throughout the last century.
The four defendants have been incarcerated since January of 2016. They were each charged with 10 felonies. Each man could be sentenced to more than a hundred years in prison for their involvement while resisting the confiscation. The men are brought to court in shackles and each man has had a significant weight loss since their incarceration. All their motions for pretrial releases have been denied.
The twelve jurors chosen for this trial consist of six women and six men. The four alternates consists of three men and one woman. The group is very diverse racially. All prospective jurors with any apparent bias to either side seem to be eliminated. Also eliminated was a juror who stated on a juror questionnaire that the protest was somehow related to Uranium One. Both the prosecution and Judge Navarro where very concerned that he would not be able to put that idea aside to make an unbiased decision. The judge was not concerned about a woman jury who said on her questionnaire that she thought the Bundy’s were guilty. The defense had to use a peremptory strike on that juror.
A continuation of a prior evidentiary hearing was held on November 3rd. The hearing focused on the shredded documents found after the protest in 2014. The defendants think the documents could have contained evidence that would aid the defense and therefore be “discoverable”, which means the government had a legal obligation to share the information with the defendants.
In the prior hearing, Kent Kleman, investigator for BLM, testified that Acting US Attorney in Nevada, and lead prosecutor in this trial, Steven Myhre, not only asked him to investigate this issue, but set the parameters and directed the course of the investigation. Myhre repeatedly objected to this testimony, calling it ‘privileged’. Klemen also testified that he learned of a “hurried shredding event”. He did not pursue investigation diligently by questioning all the people involved, nor did he ask why the shredding was done. Prosecutor Steven Myhre was conveniently absent for the November 3rd hearing. Klemen also may have breached proper protocol when he called each of the witnesses within a week of this testimony on November 3rd. The four witnesses claimed that they did not talk about anything pertaining to the case except that they would probably be called to testify on the 3rd. During the November 3rd hearing, these four witnesses from the Unified Command staff that had been at the ranch, testified repeatedly that they could not recall any shredding. A shredder was on site according to testimony from Randy Lavasseur.
The November 3rd witnesses were (1) BLM Deputy Special Agent in Charge of Nevada and Utah, Zachary Oper, who served directly under Special Agent Daniel Love, (2) U.S. Park Service Chief Investigator Mary Hinson, (3) Captain of United States Park Police, Pamela Smith and (4) Chief Ranger of U.S Park Service, Randy Lavasseur. All these witnesses could remember taking a part in the conference call to Washington D.C. that supposedly lead to the release of the cattle and their own evacuation of the Bunkerville Standoff; but none of the four could recall the name of the person in Washington D.C. that gave the order. None of the four could recall the name of the man that took the notes on the conference call using a laptop computer, nor which agency he was with.
Mary Hinson insisted several times that she did not take any notes of what happened on April 14th. When presented with a five page memorandum she had written about the event by defense attorney Morgan Philpot, prosecutor Nadia Ahmed asked if the defense was going to impeach Hinson.
In a prior hearing, BLM Special Agent Daniel Love testified that the Department of Justice had overridden his authority as the Incident Commander. Daniel Love implicated former US Attorney Daniel Bogden for making the decision to release the cattle that brought an end to the protest. He stated that the order to surrender and release the cows was given immediately after he spoke to Bogden.
During the November 3rd hearing, there was repeated and detailed testimony by witness Mary Hinson about a camera set on the hill overlooking the Bundy home and possibly another camera six miles down the road. This equipment was setup and monitored by the FBI within the Command Trailer. The existence of any camera’s had always been denied until this hearing when Ryan Bundy questioned the witnesses. Randy Lavasseur also testified that he saw the video stream from the cameras. It is expected that the defense will make another motion for evidence from the one or two camera’s in the near future.
Even though the federal witnesses had severe memory lapses, contradicted each other and one possibly impeached herself, the judge seemed to accept their credibility without question. Furthermore, Judge Navarro stated that “just because a piece of paper or video exists doesn’t mean it’s discoverable. It needs to have a particular type of value”. She therefore denied the defendant’s motion for dismissal of the case and she also denied remedial jury instructions.
The press and court observers crowded the courtroom to hear opening statements on November 7th. After a few hours of discussing evidence the prosecution has not provided, the court date has again been delayed. The first day of the trial with the jury present for opening statements has been changed to November 14th, 8:30 am at 333 Las Vegas Blvd S., Las Vegas, Nevada. It is estimated the trial will be three to four months long. Many trial protesters will be on the sidewalk in front of the courthouse, and many more will be watching the proceedings in the courtroom.Please support our coverage of your rights.

We may have suspected our government was corrupt before the Bundy Protest occured. The events of the last four and one half years have verified our suspicions in spades.
GOVT Recording Privileged Phone Calls With Attorneys
THEY HAVE RECORDED PROTECTED COMMUNICATIONS OF ATTORNEYS AND THEIR CLIENTS.

GOVT Recording Privileged Phone Calls With Attorneys
by Shari Dovale
The government prosecutors in the Bunkerville Standoff Trial in Las Vegas have been recording the privileged phone meetings between the defendants and their attorneys, according to a filing by Ryan Payne.
The motion to dismiss, filed yesterday November 8th, states that the government collected privileged attorney-client phone calls from an incarcerated defendant and then denied possessing such privileged materials.
On September 11, 2017, the government disclosed hundreds of phone calls including calls made from jail by co-defendant Blaine Cooper and the attorney representing him.
The motion goes on to state, “The recordings, which were made while Mr. Cooper was incarcerated at the Las Vegas City Jail between January 22, 2017, and February 17, 2017, address matters relating to the instant case, including preparation, criminal allegations, and strategy.”
Back in October 2016, Payne believed that CCA-Pahrump, the prison in which he was incarcerated, was recording his phone calls. He subsequently filed a motion which requested the Court issue an order (1) compelling the government to produce any recordings of conversations with counsel, and (2) instructing officials at CCA-Pahrump to cease and desist from recording privileged attorney client phone communications.
The Court denied the motion based on the government’s insistence that it had no recordings of conversations between Payne and his counsel, or between Payne’s co-defendants and their counsel.
However, since the government’s disclosure of recording Cooper’s calls with his attorneys, it is clear that the statements made by the prosecutors were untrue. Would this be considered prosecutorial misconduct? They made the recordings of the defendants privileged calls with their attorneys.
It is clear that the prosecution, including AUSA Myhre, have underestimated the Federal Public Defenders office and the defendants themselves. They have attempted to overwhelm the defense with large amounts of late discovery, but apparently assumed that with little money allocated to the public defenders, no one would have the resources to actually review the recordings.
These attorneys have taken this case much more seriously than the prosecutors expected and are holding the prosecutors accountable.
This is a serious violation of the US Constitution! They have recorded protected communications of attorneys and their clients.
We have seen multiple violations during the past 2 years this court has allowed. Navarro has allowed the prosecution nearly everything they have asked for, while denying the defense even the basics. But this is huge! Even Navarro will not be able to justify this breach.
It is in the realm of possibility that a full dismissal of this case will be soon given.

I don’t generally watch Infowars videos because of the misinformation. This man Tal Pollard who called in to this episode is a regular supporter of the Bundy, Finicum and Hammond families. He brings up th the Uranium One connection to La Voy Finicum’s murder.

RE: Cliven Bundy. At this point, I would say that Judge Navarro is guilty of attempted murder. And, that the prosecution team are accessories to that attempted murder.
If Cliven dies in custody, that charge reverts to first degree murder, as the are fully aware of his condition and age, and they simply contrive an excuse to murder him.
The Bundys and Payne have more honor than the prosecution that lies, withholds evidence, and then lies, again -- denying justice.
At the same time, they wield their power, knowing that they have immunity, to punish someone who won't bow to their accusations, and won't take the easy way out a plea to an arrangement that will keep Cliven in prison for the rest of his life.
Justice will come, soon, but it will not be the kind that the justice department administers, nor the kind the judicial branch supports. It will come from an uprising that as is sure to come as the one did 240 years ago.
When the government rules the people, denying them the rights which those Founders fought and died for, the cycle repeats itself.

Judge denies release for Cliven Bundy amid courtroom outburst

The Oregonian/OregonLive
LAS VEGAS — A judge declined Thursday to release Nevada cattleman Cliven Bundy days before trial, concerned he still doesn’t recognize federal authority and has a large incentive to flee with at least 80 years in prison hanging over his head if convicted of four of his 16 charges.
U.S. District Judge Gloria M. Navarro also rejected release requests by Ryan Bundy and Ryan Payne and said she would make a decision later on Ammon Bundy.
Bret O. Whipple, the attorney representing the elder Bundy on charges in the 2014 standoff near Bunkerville, urged consideration for the patriarch’s age, his failing health and the reduced weight of evidence against him after unsuccessful conspiracy prosecutions against others in the case.
“He refers to himself as an old cow,” Whipple said, noting that the 71-year-old Bundy arrived in custody with 20 teeth and now has 10 to 15 teeth left because infections are treated by pulling teeth in jail and not with dental care.
“It’s been hard on him and his health has really deteriorated,” Whipple said.
The senior Bundy, his two sons and Payne face federal conspiracy, assault and extortion charges, accused of amassing armed supporters to thwart federal rangers and contractors from carrying out court orders to round up Bundy cattle illegally grazing on public land near Bunkerville.
They have been in custody for almost two years since their arrests in Oregon. Authorities arrested Cliven Bundy on Feb. 10, 2016, as he got off a plane in Portland to visit his sons. Two weeks earlier, Ammon and Ryan Bundy and Payne had been arrested in the 2016 armed takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in southeastern Oregon.
Whipple proposed that the court release Cliven Bundy to a house in Las Vegas where he would be under the watch of a retired Las Vegas Metro police officer. He named the couple who rent the home as Keith and Joann Gordon.
Prosecutors said that no circumstances have changed, and pretrial service officers continued to recommend the elder Bundy’s detention.
The judge quickly ruled that Cliven Bundy must remain in custody. She noted his lack of respect for federal rules and regulations and said the weight of evidence against him is still strong despite the earlier trials.
Cliven Bundy stands accused as the leader and beneficiary of an alleged federal conspiracy, Navarro noted.
As soon as Navarro made her ruling, Cliven Bundy’s oldest daughter, Sharee Cox, stood up in the third row of the public gallery, pointed to the judge and yelled, “Gloria Navarro, you are an evil, cold-hearted woman.”
“I don’t care, touch me if you want,” she said to court security and deputy U.S. marshals walking toward her. “You are a liar. I love you, Dad.”
She kept screaming as she was escorted out, threatening to sue the security if they touched her.
The judge calmly continued to the next defendant, Ammon Bundy, 42, who took the stand for about 40 minutes, pledging to abide by conditions set for his release. His attorney argued that Bundy has one prior misdemeanor violation, hasn’t been violent and didn’t carry a gun during the Bunkerville standoff.
Prosecutor Daniel Schiess countered that Ammon Bundy’s motion for release was filled with “half truths,” with “plucked statements completely out of context.” Schiess noted that Ammon Bundy had 11 violations while in custody pending trial, though he didn’t say what they were.
“His credibility is not worth your relying on,” Schiess told the judge.
Schiess then questioned Ammon Bundy, asking him what he’d do if the U.S. Bureau of Land Management went to the public lands near Bunkerville to round up Bundy cattle. Ammon Bundy replied, “I would do as I did before, which is peacefully assemble.”
The judge then asked if he would abide by home confinement and a curfew if ordered.
“I give you my word I’ll stay home,” he replied.
Schiess pressed further, and asked Ammon Bundy if he came to the courthouse and security told him to do something that he disagreed with, would he follow security’s direction.
“Yes,” Ammon Bundy replied.
At several points, Ammon Bundy’s lawyer Daniel Hill objected to some of Schiess’ questions, but Ammon Bundy, his forearms leaning on the witness stand with his hands clasped in front of him and a pocket Constitution in his front shirt pocket, told his lawyer, “I welcome any questions he wants to ask.”
He also turned to the judge, pledging,”I give you my word to follow these orders and I take that seriously so my answer is unequivocally yes.”
The judge didn’t rule immediately on his request, saying she would allow the prosecution team to make more arguments Monday.
But she turned down Ryan Bundy’s impassioned plea.
Ryan Bundy asked his wife and eight children — many of them youngsters reading Dr. Seuss books or writing in a notebook or clutching a teddy bear during the full-day hearing – to stand. He said he wants to provide for them.
“I want to be a good father,” he said. “This is punishment to them that they don’t deserve, even if I deserve it.”
He pledged, like his brother did, to abide by any conditions the court would set. His wife sold their home in Cedar City, Utah, and now has a home in Mesquite, Nevada, he said, or he could live with a family friend in Las Vegas.
“I am excited to go to trial…I really am,” he said. “Where else would I go? How would it benefit me to try to dodge out of this?”
He said his travel to court from the Nevada Southern Detention Center in Pahrump ends up being a 10-hour round-trip with all the transfer protocol, making it onerous for him to prepare for trial.
The prosecutor said Ryan Bundy has violated rules and orders in custody — 12 between March and August. He recently refused to turn around in an elevator as instructed so he wouldn’t see the password key code, for example, and cursed at a deputy marshal who was ordering him to leave the courtroom, Schiess said.
Ryan Bundy created the transit problem himself, Schiess said, by not following orders, strip searches, at the more local Henderson jail, which is closer to the federal courthouse.
Ryan Bundy countered that his actions in jail result because he’s being treated like a criminal, a slave.
“Liberty is a precious thing. Being told what to do and pushed around like I’m a dog is egregious,” he said. “All we are wanting is a little liberty. We’re not violent men…but we get tired of this kind of treatment.”
Schiess also cited Ryan Bundy’s statement to a federal agent in March 2014, pledging to “do whatever it takes” to prevent rangers from taking the family’s cattle and that he would “have several 100 with me to help.” He also said Ryan Bundy created a ruckus at the Utah livestock auction site during an April 2014 visit. The local sheriff there was so concerned because Ryan Bundy promised to “stop the impound by force.” The sheriff contacted Utah’s governor, urging the governor to prevent cattle from being taken to Utah out of concern for the potential for a violent confrontation, Schiess said.
The judge said the evidence shows Ryan Bundy remains a danger to the community, pointing to his pattern of defiance in and out of custody. “Those are concerning to the court. I can’t disregard them.”
She indicated she had considered placing him in a halfway house, but the evidence before her won’t allow that.
“I want to be able to provide this opportunity but the facts just don’t permit it,” Navarro said.
Navarro also denied release for Payne, 34, saying he, too, remained a danger to the community. She cited his guilty plea in the Malheur refuge occupation and his threatening statements as the co-founder of a network of militias, Operation Mutual Defense.
Defense attorney Ryan Norwood conceded that Payne makes provocative statements, such as telling a Montana newspaper reporter that it’s OK to kill an officer who is making an unlawful arrest, which a prosecutor highlighted.
“What somebody says and what somebody did is a different thing,'” Norwood said. He noted Payne’s prior Army service and honorable discharge. He recommended releasing Payne to live with a cousin in Las Vegas.
The judge disagreed. “It is not just political rhetoric,” Navarro said. “It is conduct.”
U.S. District Judge Anna J. Brown of Oregon also alerted the court that she wanted to weigh in on Payne’s continued detention if he were to be released in Nevada. He awaits sentencing in Oregon on a federal conspiracy charge in the refuge occupation.
A jury acquitted Ammon and Ryan Bundy in the Oregon case last fall.
