The kangaroo court against Ammon Bundy and twenty-five or so other “co-conspirators” continues apace. They have all spent the last six months in jail, away from family and business, waiting for a show trial that will demonstrate that the citizens of this country no longer have rights or protections that they might have thought they had.
The entire farce is in striking contrast to the kid-glove legal treatment Hillary Clinton got when she broke multiple federal laws, used her office to gain hundreds of millions of dollars from foreign powers seeking favorable treatment from the Department of State and the U.S., and then was simply lectured and allowed to be on her way. It seems there really are two Americas, one for political and financial elites, and one for the ordinary citizens.
Ammon Bundy, it will be remembered, along with other ranchers and farmers from various Western states, occupied a remote wilderness building in protest of the unfair treatment of two other ranchers who burned undergrowth on their ranch which then spread to stark, unoccupied Federal land. The ranchers put the fire out without any help, but were charged with arson, and are now serving five year sentences in prison. The real crux of the matter is the desire of the Federal government to control as much land as possible through the Bureau of Land Management and the Forestry Service, and to drive farmers and ranchers off the land. In fact, the Federal government now “owns” over 51% of the land in eleven western states.
Bundy and other participants challenged the Federal government, and they will now participate in a show trial with a predetermined outcome that could sentence all of the ranchers and farmers with ten to twenty five years in federal prison. The judge wants no delays since the outcome is already predetermined, and a request for more time to prepare their defense that could cost them many years in prison is not being granted by the judge.

They need to change their name to clinton and then walk free.
still wondering what the government know is on that Oregon land – last i heard they wanted to make 500 Million acres around Malheur a “national monument” —
Seems like there is a crooked judge here in this matter
It’s the white privilege these guys have! You know not being murdered and not have the government take there land. You know all that white privilege.
Trump will pardon all these when he is president..
Yep, b******t
Undemocratic. Corrupt
Old white men spouting off for blm should worry blacks greatly
MUST DO “JURISDICTIONAL CHALLENGE”! ] [ See, look close @ “$” pic! Was no valid reason for the Civil War illegally started by dishonest Honest Abe Lincoln — after 1857–last year the U. S. used the silver “$” Eight Bits-coined in “HISPAN”! ! Juries had already set free the slaves ( visit http://www.fija.org ): they refused to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act! & am sure the reason slave-traders did not want slaves to learn to read was cuz Bible sez: *[[Deu 23:15/NET]]* You must not return an escaped slave to his master when he has run away to you.
*[[Deu 23:16/NET]]* Indeed, he may live among you in any place he chooses, in whichever of your villages he prefers; you must not oppress him.). Now we’re enslaved by Money/Debt based on FRAUD of fiction symbol “$”! However, ” Fraud destroys (vitiates, makes invalid, void) everything it enters into.” Nudd Vs. Burrows, 91 US 426) Boyce Vs. Grundy, 3 Pet. 210). U.S. Vs. Throckmorton. 98 US 61.
This has to do with Harry Reid wanting that property go his own to develop. This is true, check it out.
