Defendants in second Oregon standoff trial want Ammon Bundy, Ryan Payne to testify for defense

Posted on January 16, 2017 by Doug Knowles

The second wave of defendants set for trial next month in the armed seizure of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge want occupation leaders Ammon Bundy and Ryan Payne to testify in their defense.

Bundy and Payne are both in custody in Nevada, scheduled to face trial themselves this spring in another federal case.

The seven defendants in the second Oregon standoff trial have proposed that Bundy and Payne be transferred to Oregon to testify sometime in March and then return to Nevada by April for their trial in the 2014 standoff with federal land management agents near Bunkerville, Nevada.

They anticipate Bundy, who testified over three days last fall and was acquitted of all charges in the refuge takeover case, would take the stand on two trial days.

"In my opinion, his testimony cannot be replicated by any other witness or even group of witnesses. Mr. Bundy also has personal knowledge of facts related to the misdemeanor charges presently facing these defendants that were not at issue in the first trial and to which Mr. Bundy's prior testimony did not apply,'' wrote defense lawyer Andrew Kohlmetz, standby lawyer for defendant Jason Patrick. "It is the unanimous judgment of all defense counsel that Ammon Bundy is a critical witness for the defendants in this case.''

Twenty-six people faced federal conspiracy charges stemming from the 41-day occupation of the federal bird sanctuary in southeastern Oregon. Bundy and six co-defendants were found not guilty of conspiracy, weapons and other charges after a five-week trial last fall. Eleven others pleaded guilty to the conspiracy charge. Prosecutors dismissed charges against another.

The rest will go to trial on Feb. 14, on both felony conspiracy and weapons charges and additional misdemeanor charges, including trespass, tampering with equipment and destruction of property.
The defense lawyers for Bundy and Payne in Nevada don't object to their clients testifying in the Oregon case, yet Payne wants to talk to Patrick's defense investigator before deciding if he would. He's set to meet with the investigator on Feb. 16.

"Mr. Patrick recognizes that Mr. Payne has a 5th Amendment privilege not to testify,'' Kohlmetz wrote. If Payne chooses to invoke his right not to testify, Patrick will withdraw the request to call him as a witness.

Prosecutors will argue that no mention of the acquittal of Ammon Bundy and his six co-defendants be allowed during the second trial, saying it would be irrelevant and prejudicial.

Defendants want the court to allow evidence that the seven defendants tried last fall were acquitted on the federal conspiracy charge.

"It's probably fair to say that the initial default rule is Jury 2 doesn't hear about what Jury 1 decided, but there are situations where that does happen,'' said criminal defense lawyer Kevin Sali, who is not involved in this case.

While prosecutors can't prevent Bundy or Payne from taking the stand for the defense, the court could instruct them not to discuss the prior verdicts in their Oregon case.

"Mr. Patrick contends that the failure of the government to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the first seven defendants tried were members of the conspiracy charged herein, has at least some tendency to make the existence of the conspiracy itself, and these defendants' participation in it, less probable,'' his lawyer Kohlmetz wrote in a motion. "This is particularly true when the government seek to introduce the statements and actions of acquitted defendants as made in furtherance of said conspiracy.''

In a flurry of other pretrial motions, the defendants also urged the court to dismiss the trespass charge against them, saying it's too broad and arbitrarily enforced.

"Hundreds of people traveled to and from the refuge during the protest. Of that group of individuals, only 27 people were arrested, and only 7 of the arrested individuals were charged with trespass...despite the fact that the majority of the people who came to the refuge engaged in similar, if not identical, conduct,'' wrote defense lawyer Matthew McHenry, who represents Sean Anderson.

To prove trespassing, prosecutors said they must show only that the defendants entered the refuge without authorization and "should have reasonably recognized that their conduct would cause an invasion of an interest of another,'' Assistant U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Barrow wrote in a response.
The defense also shouldn't be allowed to argue that the refuge isn't federal property, Barrow said.
"Defendants have asserted that the federal government cannot permanently own property or that the state of Oregon did not consent to the transfer of the land to the federal government. If such beliefs were a cognizable defense to trespass on federal lands, it would render the charge unenforceable,'' Barrow wrote. "Finally, as this Court has noted, there is no genuine dispute that the federal government owns the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and that it owned and controlled the property at the time of the occupation.''

If the misdemeanor charges stand, the defense teams also argue for the right to a jury trial on those charges. Prosecutors counter that federal law says a judge decides the lesser charges.
Prosecutors would prefer to hold a jury trial on the federal conspiracy and weapons charges, and while the jury is deliberating, present further evidence on the misdemeanor charges solely to the judge.

The next status hearing in the case is set for Friday. Several of the defendants will be formally arraigned on the new misdemeanor charges.

Jeanette Finicum continues to carry on her husband's message

Jeanette Finicum continues fight for property rights in behalf of slain husband

January 17, 2017 editor Leave a comment

“It is the anniversary of my husband’s death. We want to continue with his mission. The people within counties and states should decide how to use those properties, not the federal government.”

LaVoy Finicum’s widow wants to ‘continue his mission’

Associated Press

Leaders of an armed occupation of a federal wildlife refuge in rural Oregon were driving to a public meeting a year ago when police shot and killed one of them at a roadblock.

Now, LaVoy Finicum’s widow and their children are planning to hold that meeting later this month in the same town, John Day. Speakers are slated talk about the Constitution, property rights and other issues.

“It is the anniversary of my husband’s death. We want to continue with his mission,” Jeanette Finicum told The Associated Press. “The people within counties and states should decide how to use those properties, not the federal government.”

LaVoy Finicum was the spokesman for several dozen occupiers during the 41-day takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and has become a martyr for the movement to transfer ownership of federal lands to local entities. The U.S. government owns nearly half of all land in the West, compared with 4 percent in other states, according to the Congressional Overview of Federal Land Ownership.

Finicum’s cattle brand, an L connected to a V with a floating bar, adorns bumper stickers, black flags and T-shirts seen at conservative gatherings.

Susie Hammond, whose husband and son became the oft-cited reason for Ammon Bundy’s armed takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge last Jan. 2, says the family didn’t want anything to do with the occupation but came to appreciate the attention brought to their fight with the federal government.

Jeanette Finicum has become something of a cause celebre in the year since her husband’s death. She spoke at a rally on the steps of Utah’s capitol. The Tri-State Livestock News, based in South Dakota, recently ran a story describing her dispute with the Bureau of Land Management over grazing fees. The agency administers 245 million acres of public lands and manages livestock grazing on 155 million acres of those lands.

“It’s been a horrific year,” Jeanette Finicum said in a phone interview from her Cane Beds, Arizona, home. “There’s been so much going on that most people don’t have to deal with when they lose a loved one, like we did.”

She was a stay-at-home mom all 23 years they were married.

“With him gone, all of the responsibilities have fallen to me,” she said. “I spent the year rounding up, branding and calving.”

Oregon State Police shot LaVoy Finicum three times on Jan. 26, 2016, after he exited a vehicle at a police roadblock in the snowy Malheur National Forest, held up his hands and then reached toward his jacket.

Authorities concluded the officers were justified because they thought Finicum was going for his pistol. But at least one FBI Hostage Rescue Team operator fired two shots at Finicum’s vehicle — shots that were not disclosed during the investigation.

In March, the inspector general of the U.S. Justice Department began investigating possible FBI misconduct and whether there was a cover-up. The inspector general’s office declined to discuss the investigation last week. The U.S. attorney’s office in Portland said it was ongoing.

Jeanette Finicum insists her husband was not a threat and that he was murdered. Her lawyer has said the family plans a wrongful-death lawsuit, and Finicum said she will release more details during the Jan. 28 meeting.

It’s being held at the fairgrounds in Grant County, which neighbors the county containing the refuge.

Public lands make up 66 percent of Grant County’s 4,529 square miles. Jeanette Finicum bristled when asked if those attending the meeting might be inspired to take over federal sites.

“That’s a ridiculous question,” she said. “We will peacefully demonstrate, peacefully teach and stand for liberty.”

The FBI expressed no concern about the upcoming meeting.

“Everyone has a constitutional right to assemble, and to free speech,” spokeswoman Beth Anne Steele said.

Grant County Judge Scott Myers granted permission for the fairgrounds, a county facility, to be used for the event, saying rejecting the request could have had more repercussions than allowing it to happen.

Myers said he doubts it will pose a threat but then added, “I have steadfastly tried to convince myself that over the past few months.”

Federal persecutor files 3 charges against Attorney Marcus Mumford

Prosecutor files formal criminal information, lodging three charges against Marcus Mumford

Posted on January 18, 2017 by Doug Knowles

[pdf-embedder url="https://www.itmattershowyoustand.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Case-3-17cr-00008-HZ-Document-1-Filed-011317-Pages-1-3.pdf" title="Case 3-17cr-00008-HZ Document 1 Filed 01:13:17 Pages 1 - 3"]




By Maxine Bernstein | The Oregonian/OregonLive

A federal prosecutor has filed a formal criminal information charging Marcus Mumford, who U.S. marshals tackled and stunned with a Taser in federal court on the day his client Ammon Bundy was acquitted, with three misdemeanor charges.

It accuses Mumford of creating a disturbance by impeding or disrupting the official government duties by "verbally and physically interfering with" marshals in their "transportation of a person in their custody.''
The second charge is failure to comply with signs that prohibit the disruption of official government duties. The third charge is failure to comply with lawful direction of a federal police officer.

The information replaces the initial citations that were given to Mumford after he was taken into custody and arrested on Oct. 27. It was filed by Timothy J. Ohms, a special attorney assigned from Washington state, after prosecutors and federal judges recused themselves from the case.

Mumford and his lawyer Michael Levine have both said they intend to vigorously challenge the charges. For example, Levine has filed a motion, requesting the personnel files of all the deputy U.S. marshals who were involved in the incident.

A pre-trial hearing is set for Feb. 15.

The maximum penalty for each offense is 30 days in custody and a $5,000 fine.

A criminal case in federal court formally begins with the filing of an indictment, which is returned by a grand jury, or a criminal information. The information is usually filed in misdemeanor cases and represents a formal accusation of the alleged crime.

Mumford's lawyer earlier this month entered not guilty pleas on Mumford's behalf to charges of failing to comply with the lawful direction of a federal police officer and impeding or disrupting official government duties.

Mumford was arrested Oct. 27 shortly after the judge announced the jury's verdict acquitting Bundy and six co-defendants of conspiring to prevent federal employees from doing their work at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. Bundy and armed followers took over the refuge Jan. 2, 2016.

Deputy marshals tackled Mumford as he questioned the government's authority to continue to hold Bundy on federal charges pending in Nevada and demanded to see paperwork to back it up.

Mumford's lawyer Michael Levine called the arrest an "unprecedented attack on the defense bar,'' during his first appearance with Mumford in court earlier this month.

Levine called the use of a stun gun and Mumford's arrest "outrageous,'' saying Mumford was doing nothing more than engaging in zealous advocacy for his client.

According to a probable cause statement, the marshals said they moved forward to escort Bundy out of the courtroom when Mumford positioned his body to block them and began yelling in protest. When Mumford became more agitated, "flailing his arms and raising his voice even louder,'' and exhibiting "pre-assault indicators,'' they moved in.

Feds estimate $108,000.00 to repair damage caused by digging 2 trenches at Malheur Reserve

Repair of two trenches, road dug at Mahleur National Wildlife Refuge cost more than $100,000

By Maxine Bernstein | The Oregonian/OregonLive

The cost of repairing two trenches and a road, dug last winter on a part of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge that's considered an archaeological site, was slightly more than $108,000, according to federal authorities.
Two of the seven defendants set for trial next month, Jake Ryan and Duane Ehmer, are accused of digging the trenches and charged with depredation of government property, considered a felony when damage and repair is more than $1,000.

Ryan and Ehmer want the court to restrict prosecutors from telling jurors about any archeologically significant sites that may have been threatened on the refuge or the government's funding of an archeological exploration of the dirt moved and its cost to repair.

Defense lawyers argue the evidence is irrelevant and would be prejudicial. They also contend Ryan and Ehmer had no idea the location held any archeological significance, and that's why they have not been charged with violations of the Archeological Resources Protections Act.

The act prohibits excavation of such sites that a defendant knows to be an archeological resource and the removal of objects without a permit.

"If the government does not have any evidence to demonstrate that the defendants intended to threaten the archeological integrity of the MNWR, then it is not relevant whether or not that integrity was in fact threatened,'' wrote Jesse Merrithew, Ryan's defense lawyer. "Mr. Ryan had no knowledge, nor any reason to know that when he dug the trench next to the parking lot on a functioning government complex, there could be buried archaeological resources present, especially considering the parking lot and all the surrounding buildings had required considerable excavation when they were built.''

The FBI hired an expert to help assess the damage to the refuge headquarters and coordinate repair because federal agents suspected the digging of trenches at the refuge during its occupation may have violated the Archeological Resources Protection Act.

Timothy W. Canaday, forest archaeologist and tribal coordinator for the Salmon-Challis National Forest in Salmon, Idaho, calculated the cost of repair at $108,172, according to his report.

The cost included stabilizing the trenches to allow a survey of any archeological objects that may have been disturbed, field work to determine if any archaeological artifacts or Native American human remains were damaged, consultation with the Burns Paiute Tribe, preparation for a "cleansing and healing'' ceremony held by the tribe at the site, and the cleaning and replacing of soil that had been excavated, according to federal prosecutors.

To be guilty of depredation of government property, the defendants don't have to know the site disturbed was an archeological resource, only that their conduct was unlawful.

According to Canaday's report, no human bones or associated Native American items were located in the damaged areas, except for a single human talus bone discovered next to the all-terrain vehicle trails area. The human bone was reburied in place.

Refuge archeologist Carla Burnside testified during the trial last fall of Ammon Bundy and six co-defendants that no archeological artifacts were disturbed at the refuge. She also testified that the 187,000 acres of the refuge contained more than 400 prehistoric and historic sites. One encompasses the entire refuge headquarters.

Her testimony prompted defense lawyer Matthew Schindler to ask during trial whether the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service built the refuge headquarters on top of an archeological site?

"Yes, before it was not legal to do that,'' Burnside responded.

After the 41-day occupation ended and a survey of the site was completed, Burns Paiute tribal elders were brought to the refuge to conduct a traditional healing and cleansing ceremony as part of the repair and restoration, Canaday's report said. Protective fencing was installed around the trenches, with tarps placed over them for the ceremonies, partly to preserve the area for examination by the defense teams in the case.

The trenches were ultimately filled in. Topsoil was spread over the them and the excavated road to the refuge bunkhouse. Native seeds and sagebrush plugs were planted for vegetation growth.

The cost of repairs to the archeological site are relevant to support the underlying charge, prosecutors argue. They plan to call an expert witness to testify about the steps taken to repair the property.

Because of the archeological nature of the sites, federal authorities needed to ensure significant repairs were done "beyond merely 'pushing the dirt back into the trench(es) and compacting it down using the equipment ... onsite,' '' as defendants suggest would have been more reasonable.

Obama backs off of Owyhee National Monument - Could it be because of the Malheur Protest?

Obama backs off Owyhee designation, could Oregon Standoff be why?

January 21, 2017 editor Leave a comment

Despite the fact that mainstream media and left-wing environmentalist launched a smear campaign against the ranchers and their supporters, the Administration and its political allies, worried about the repercussions of the Oregon Standoff. WikiLeaks published an email exchange between Mike Matz of PEW Environmental and Hillary Clinton’s campaign chief, John Podesta, indicating just that. Matz mentioned the Malheur ‘occupation’ twice in his email to Podesta.

After a gluttonous spree of land-gobbling by the Obama Administration using the Antiquities Act as a fort and knife, one previously targeted region was spared, leaving Americans to wonder whether volatile bad press was a factor in its exception, or if the clock just ran out.

Pushed by outdoor recreation corporations and left-wing environmentalists, the Administration was eyeing a rugged and resource-rich area of southeastern Oregon to be designated as the Owyhee Canyonlands National Monument. The Conservation Alliance, a syndicate of global outdoor recreation corporations–looking to expand their markets in the United States and abroad–lobbied Obama heavily to lock up Owyhee Canyonlands, but in this case their efforts fell short.

https://i0.wp.com/freerangereport.co...size=297%2C711

On January 19, Capital Press reported:

Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley told OPB Sunday that Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewel told him the proposed Owyhee Canyonlands National Monument in Eastern Oregon’s Malheur County has been shelved.

Merkley says he doubts President Obama will make the proclamation before leaving office Friday.
That’s encouraging, but at this writing Obama still has time to make the proclamation.

Backed by the Oregon Natural Desert Association and Portland’s Keen Shoes, the proposed Owyhee Canyonlands wilderness and conservation area would cover 40 percent of Malheur County — about 2.5 million acres of what is now controlled by the Bureau of Land Management.

Residents believe the designation would be accompanied by restrictions and regulations that would prohibit or severely complicate grazing, mining, hunting and recreation.

While proponents say traditional uses of the land will be allowed, local opponents don’t believe them. When the locals put it to a non-binding vote — because locals really don’t get a vote — 90 percent of Malheur County voters opposed the monument proposal.

We don’t know why the proposal has been shelved, or if it really has been shelved. It could be the administration thinks the designation would be too inflammatory, given the area’s proximity to the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, the site of last year’s armed occupation by followers of the Bundy clan.

It could be Obama chose an easier target, instead expanding the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument in Southern Oregon earlier this month.

About 2 years ago, locals in southeastern Oregon; ranchers, community leaders, foresters, and others, mounted a campaign called Our Land Our Voice to stop the federal designation of an area in Malheur County as a national monument. And of this writing–following the exit of Obama and his Interior department–history must conclude that the people of Malheur County won against great odds. But other regions of the country, California, Arizona, New Mexico, and most notably, Utah, have had millions of acres seized by the Obama monument-making machine, where grassroots efforts to protect locals and resource-based economies apparently failed. The question remains, why?

Last years, locals, including ranchers, small business owners, and the Navajo and Ute tribes in southeastern Utah mounted a campaign similar to Our Land Our Voice, titled Protect the Bears Ears, a rallying point for those opposing a proposed 1.9 million acre monument that would cover most of San Juan County. On January 28, while in Hawaii on vacation, Obama announced that 1.35 million acres in San Juan County would forever be controlled by the National Park Service, and Bears Ears National Monument was born.* With the help of alliances between big outdoor rec, radical environmentalists, and Obama’s Interior chief, Sally Jewell–the literal embodiment of both big outdoor rec corporatism and radical environmental ideology–hundreds of millions of acres have seized by D.C. and cut off from economic development, effectively frozen in time.

The folks behind Our Land Our Voice, and thousands of people from small communities in southeastern Oregon, held their breaths until the very last minute. But more than a mere omission, their reprieve may have had everything to do with events which took place a year ago in their very backyard. On January 2, 2016, ranchers led by Ammon and Ryan Bundy gathered at the Malheur Refuge, near Burns, Oregon, to protest what they believed was the unjust imprisonment of the Hammonds. Father and son ranchers, Dwight and Steven Hammond, were convicted months earlier on terrorism charges stemming from prescriptive burns on their own property, and continue to languish behind bars today. Although peaceful, the protest at the Malheur Refuge whipped up a firestorm of controversy, which climaxed with the killing of Arizona rancher, LaVoy Finicum by government agents, and the arrests of the leaders of the protests.

Despite the fact that mainstream media and left-wing environmentalists launched a smear campaign against the ranchers and their supporters, the Administration and its political allies worried about the repercussions of the Oregon Standoff. WikiLeaks published an email exchange between Mike Matz of PEW Environmental and Hillary Clinton’s campaign chief, John Podesta, indicating just that. Matz mentioned the Malheur ‘occupation’ twice in his email to Podesta:

The three monuments in southern California that Sen. Feinstein supports have been teed up for the President’s signature since December. The situation in the Malheur Refuge has now caused understandable delay. However, we believe it should occur as soon as possible after the denouement of that occupation. There is significant local support for these designations and the conservation community and other stakeholders locally and nationally are prepared to amplify that positive reaction.

The Owyhee Canyons in southeastern Oregon had been percolating along until the Malheur occupation caused a major hiccup. However, we hope the Administration doesn’t lose sight of this one. It’s biologically very important, and is a nice complement to the Idaho portion of the canyonland that was protected in the 2009 omnibus lands bill that Obama signed into law. We recognize that Sen. Wyden is not the most popular member, and that it will take movement by him and Sen. Merkley to introduce a bill and be more forceful advocates, and we’re working on that.

In the months following the Oregon Standoff, the arrests of the protesters and the killing of LaVoy Finicum, friends, family members and supporters of the protesters began to make their voices heard. Jeanette Finicum, LaVoy’s widow, and several of his children, made public appearances across the country to tell his story, and share their views about constitutional property rights, and the importance of ranching to the West. The killing of LaVoy by Oregon State Troopers and the FBI remains controversial to this day, with various analyses of the timeline concluding that the killing was, at worst, a set up, and at best, an overreaction.

The biggest blow to the Administration’s case against the Malheur protesters came in October last year when the first wave of defendants, including Ammon and Ryan Bundy, were acquitted of all charges by a Portland jury.

Despite the fact that mainstream media reporting about the Oregon Standoff cast the ranchers in a largely negative light, it set off a disquieting feeling across the nation that government had become the persecutor of its citizens, and not their protector.

After being acquitted in Oregon, the Bundy brothers, and their father Cliven, were set to be tried in Nevada on charges related to the Bunkerville Standoff in the spring of 2014. The results of that trial are anyone’s guess at this point. But there’s no question that national eyes are watching, and an increasing number of Americans–especially those from the heartland who amassed to elect Donald Trump as president–are disgusted with the treatment by the Obama Administration of ranchers and landowners in the West.

It is possible that the activities and personal sacrifices, primarily by LaVoy Finicum, the Bundy family and others imprisoned by the feds over protests against aggressive federal agencies, ultimately saved the folks of southeastern Oregon from having their lands and resources ripped from them via presidential proclamation.

*Utah leaders and locals in San Juan County have called upon President Trump to reversethe 1.35 million acre Bears Ears designation.

RE: "Dolly Singer"

There has been a bit (understatement) of controversy over Dolly Singer (Matthew Houser). He contacted me nearly two weeks ago with the story of his access to the Trump Team. He had this editing story about his direct contact with President Donald Trump. It sounded interesting; however, I have many interesting things sent to me. So, I don't get excited. I decided that until we met, in person, that I would not go public with my evaluation of the claims he has made.

We were supposed to meet in person, a week ago last Friday. He never called to confirm time and location (he is in Chico, California, about 25 miles away) or a time.

He contacted me that weekend to say that we would meet last week. When no contact was made with regard to that meeting, I called him and he had a handful of reasons why he was unable to make the meeting, but assured me that the meeting would take place this coming week. This morning, I called him to set and firm up a meeting, but he explained that he couldn't make it until Thursday or Friday.

Due to the obvious controversy, and the many private messages I have received on the subject, it began seriously eroding my writing. I called him this afternoon and said that we would have to meet today, or at least tomorrow, that I could hold off no longer and would have to go public.
He claims that he has ties with Trump, in person. If that were true, it would seem that he also had financial resources to pursue his investigation. He claims to have no money. That doesn't fit.

He has been irresponsible with regard to commitments, such as the meetings. However, he never calls to cancel. I only find out when I call him. That is not the degree of responsibility I would expect from a legitimate investigator, and more so from one who claims association with President Trump. To put that in quite understandable terms, President Trump would have said, "You're Fired!" by now.

Over the last twenty-four years, I have had many people try to feed me bogus stories, or create an apparent association -- each of which might bring into question my credibility. I have managed to avoid such associations, though this one, lasting nearly two weeks, is the longest time that I have stood guilty of not coming forward to set the record straight.

I do so, now. "Dolly Singer" aka Matthew Hauser, is not legitimate, at least in terms of what he professes. From this point on, I disassociate with him, and will no longer allow my name to be associated with his "venture", whatever it may be.
