The prosecution might end this since we have DJT as POTUS. We’ll see.

[ptsal]

Amen and amen

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

Is it over or just another round?

[Fightin Whitey]

Great news.

With prejudice?

[HiTech RedNeck]

One doesn’t have to agree with the attitude of the Bundys to not want them railroaded in a power play either.

[robroys woman]

This is getting to be like star wars movies.

“Next up: Bundy Trial IX”

[Lurkinanloomin]

I’m surprised this judge did the right thing here.
Now we have to wait and see if the Justice Department will as well.

[Rebelbase]

The article didn’t mention it but have the Bundy’s et al been released?

[bunkerhill7]

I`m gonna conjure me up one of them there Bundy Sundaes!

[P-Marlowe]

If the mistrial is based on prosecutorial misconduct, then they can’t refile.

[Hot Tabasco]

They’re going to be bankrupted by legal fees.......

[Badboo]

Neither DJT or Sessions have any say so about DOJ. The Department is still owned and directed by Holder and the usurper.

Sessions is a potted plant. DJT still hasn’t grasped the importance of presidential personnel management

[HiTech RedNeck]

In the bigger picture, what goes around comes around.

[Basket_of_Deplorables]

Thank you God. This almost turned into another Ruby Ridge or Waco, and one guy did get murdered. And out of control, corrupt officers and prosecuters tried to destroy the rest.

Didn’t Sessions praise this bunch of criminals?

[lurk]

This trial is a real resume builder for the prosecutors.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Donald seems to be inclined to let troublemakers hang themselves.

With low political capital that seems the most conservative approach to me.

Most feathers, least hissing.

[mazda77]

Just keep convincing yourself of a delusion you have built from what you don’t know, sources say.

With this ruling by the Judge who was not amenable to the defendants when this started, DOJ will not open itself to transparent discovery of all the facts. This is done.

[Qiviut]

If the mistrial is based on prosecutorial misconduct, then they can’t refile.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In the Nevada case, Navarro faulted federal prosecutors for failing to turn over all evidence to defense attorneys, including records about the conduct of FBI and Bureau of Land Management agents during the standoff.

“The government is obligated to disclose all evidence that might be favorable” to the defense, the judge said.

That might be the case - I hope it is.

[drypowder]

Seriously doubt charges will be refiled. Bundy should sue the US Gov for damages and false imprisonment and name government officials personally who were behind the BLM to destroy the Bundy family business.
