They didn't have anything for TWO YEARS?

The federal criminal statute of limitations is five years for most felonies (longer for some crimes).

I think they probably had these charges written up two years ago, but were waiting for Bundy to be out of Nevada so they could arrest him without any supporters around.

No, they didn't, and you know it.

This is laughably thin legal gruel. The Founders would have been gobsmacked by the audacity of the US Attorneys in arguing for this stuff.

I say it's laughably thin legal gruel, but the Authorities will still get their six years of Federal incarceration "pound of flesh".

**shrug**

And there will be people clapping - until The Federal Hammer comes down on them...
