I have to agree with you. We don't have enough information. The IG report will probably be sufficent to impeach him as a credible witness.
I will put a copy in the PizzaGate thread.

No Legal Access for Defendants

Legal Counsel Access Denied
Attorneys cannot meet with defendants as a group…
https://bundyranchstandoff.info/wp-c...ed-300x150.jpgMagistrate Judge Peggy A. Leen denied Eric Parker’s motion (ECF No. 1497) to facilitate open air group meetings between defendants and their legal counsel. Citing lack of communication with the US Marshals Service, Leen determined that the request was not specific enough for the Court to be able to assess whether or not the request is reasonable. Absent a special request, the facilities at Henderson Detention Center do not provide for an environment where multiple attorneys can meet with multiple defendants. Specifically, the meeting rooms are small and defendants and counsel can only communicate through a glass wall. Subsequently, showing digital evidence (of which most in this case is) becomes problematic.
Assessing reasonableness…
One has to wonder if the Court isn’t putting the horse before the cart. First six defendants face potential life sentences; there is little wiggle room for critical analysis of whether or not it is reasonable for them to meet with their attorneys. Second, the case is complex. that designation carries huge implications. The docket, as of today, has nearly 1600 entries (unusual if not extraordinary). Additionally, with the “complex” designation the right to a speedy trial vaporizes. The Government plans to call 60 or more witnesses. Finally, the case is in a constant state of uncertainty. For example, just days before jury selection, the Salt Lake Tribune ran a story about ethics violations on the part of The Bundy Ranch Tyrant. Consequent, it is paramount that the six defendants in the Tier 3 Bundy Ranch trial have access to their legal counsel as a group.
Legal Counsel Access Denied
The Court’s position is absurd to the extent that defendants must jump through procedural hoops to meet with counsel. The Court could assess whether or not the request is unreasonable and then make a subsequent determination. Instead, the prudent pursuit of justice take a back seat to the Court’s elevated opinion of self.

Daniel P. Love exerts "proprietary jurisdiction" to steal Bundy's cattle. That must be the same jurisdiction the US District Courts are using.

This entire Bundy Ranch mess is completely illegal from the armed consfication and killing the cattle to prosecuting innocent Americans for coming to the aid of the family when they were so viciously attacked by a rogue agency lacking any authority or jurisdiction. Now the government insists on spending hundereds of thousands of taxpayer dollars on prosecuting innocent men to make examples of them when all the evidence is in Bundy's and the defendants favor. All this in an attempt to make examples of people exerting their rights. You would think after getting their ass handed to them in the Oregon trial they would back off in Nevada where the governemnt has no evidence backing up their false charges.
They are determined to get their pound of flesh by keeping the Bundy family in jail and punishing them for something they haven't done as long as possible even though they know the chances of a conviction are near zero. The wrong people are in jail.
The destruction of Bundy's piplines and water troughs and improvements to the springs which he has water rights to and is his private property recognized by the state of Nevada is a criminal offense. The running down his cows with helicopters and separating the calves from the mothers, shooting bulls, burying the evidence are all criminal offences. Why has nobody been charged for these crimes?
Harry Reid and his Las Vegas mafia have been calling the shots.
Well said, Monty.
We the people are fighting this same battle on many fronts and in thousands of places all over the USA. What happens in the Bundy case greatly impacts our efforts on these "smaller" battles. The principle involved is what rules throughout - The United States Constitution and the rule of law.

It's amazing how much has been scrubbed- The BLM agent at the beginning was speaking to Ryan Bundy by phone. If you could hear the entire recording, you'd hear the BLM agent telling Ryan that "It's going to be Waco."

Attorneys suggest BLM agent accused of misconduct could be central to Bundy case
BLM agent at Burning Man violated federal ethics rules, report finds
By JENNY WILSON
LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL
Defiant cattle rancher Cliven Bundy tossed court orders out the window of his truck and tried to pay grazing fees to Clark County instead of the federal government, a Justice Department lawyer testified Monday as prosecutors began to establish the chain of events that led to an armed standoff in Bunkerville in 2014.
Justice Department lawyer Terry Petrie took the witness stand Monday in the federal trial of six people accused of conspiring with Bundy to block the Bureau of Land Management from impounding the rancher’s cattle. The impoundment operation in 2014 followed a decadeslong dispute over grazing fees and permits.
Under direct examination by the government, Petrie read from court documents dating back to the early ‘90s that detail Bundy’s various attempts to flout federal court orders regarding his livestock. The testimony provided jurors a snapshot of the lengthy legal saga that resulted in the politically charged, armed confrontation when authorities tried to round up the cattle.
The last grazing fees paid by Bundy to the BLM were for the period of December 1992 to February 1993, Petrie testified. In subsequent years, the federal government and Bundy went back and forth in court, with the rancher arguing that his cattle could graze in accordance with his “vested grazing rights.”
In response to one ruling that ordered him to remove his cattle from the Bunkerville Allotment, Bundy accused the BLM of harassing him, threw a court order out the window of his truck and drove away, Petrie testified. His son then picked up the order, tore it into pieces and threw it on the ground.
Petrie testified that the rancher mailed a check for nearly $2,000 to Clark County in 1995. The amount, if paid to the proper agency, would have covered one year of grazing fees. But Bundy, who previously has said that the county sheriff has jurisdiction over the federal lands, refused to pay the federal government. Clark County returned the check to Bundy, Petrie said.
The Justice Department lawyer had not finished his testimony when court broke for lunch recess Monday. Defense attorneys had argued that some of the court documents the witness quoted should not be allowed into evidence. They assert that their clients, none of whom is a Nevada resident, joined the Bunkerville protests for ideological reasons and had no interest in the core dispute over cattle grazing.
ETHICS ACCUSATIONS
Earlier in the day, a defense attorney representing one of the men on trial took aim at prosecutors with pointed accusations that a federal agent central to the case is the same person recently accused of misconduct in an investigative report released by the Office of Inspector General.
Defense attorney Todd Leventhal raised concerns about the unredacted investigative report recently turned over to him by the prosecution.
“The unredacted version is quite scary, your honor,” Leventhal said. The attorney said five or six other government witnesses were mentioned in the report, which he called “pretty far-reaching.”
Specifically, the report accuses an unnamed Bureau of Land Management agent of using his position to obtain sold-out Burning Man tickets. It also includes other allegations that, if allowed into evidence, could be used to boost defense arguments that government agents acted inappropriately toward what the defense team contends were peaceful protesters.
First Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven Myrhe described the report as “extrinsic and inadmissible.”
U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro said she would rule at a later time on whether defense attorneys can ask witnesses about information in the unredacted version of the report.
The targeted BLM agent was not identified by name in open court, but previous court filings indicate that defense attorneys suspect it is BLM Special Agent in Charge Dan Love. Myrhe lauded Love’s actions during the standoff in his opening statement to the jury.
Leventhal raised the issue before the government called its first witness: FBI Special Agent E.J. McEwen. McEwen, who is not mentioned in the Office of Inspector General report, testified about hours of aerial surveillance footage he captured on the day of the standoff.
Myrhe played more than 90 minutes of surveillance footage Monday morning that showed the protesters moving toward the area where BLM agents had been executing the court order to impound Bundy’s cattle.
Bundy is scheduled to stand trial later this year. The six men currently on trial are charged with threats, assault, extortion and other crimes resulting from the standoff.
