    I'll be interested to read the prosecutor's explanation.

    Probably should not argue the point when a client is facing other federal charges.

    I'll meet you there with some jerky, a Coleman lantern (hissing variety) and a stack of Juggs mags.

    Don't forget the snacks. The feds may not be as accommodating about junk food this time.

    Here's a good article from the LA Times on the acquittals, it wasn't primarily jury nullification. The Feds overreached by charging them with conspiracy to interfere with federal workers which of course was not their intent. With the conspiracy motive debunked the gun charges could not be sustained. The only charge which made no sense to acquit was theft of a government vehicle.

    Problematic. Really need to clean out the bad apples out of all federal law enforcement agencies.

    At first glance, I was wondering why a Black Lives Matter agent was dealing with the Bundy case.

    He might be guilty. But the letter coming from Chaffetz - somebody who supports the Bundy anti-BLM mindset and wants to sell off Federal lands - proves nothing.
