LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Nevada resident Cliven Bundy and four others were indicted by the federal grand jury today on 16 felony charges related to the armed assault against federal law enforcement officers that occurred in the Bunkerville, Nev. area on April 12, 2014.

Any one heard about this on the MSM. The Boob Toob?

U.S. Attorney Daniel G. Bogden for the District of Nevada, Special Agent in Charge Laura Bucheit for the FBI in Nevada, and Bureau of Land Management Director Neil Kornze made the announcement.

“The rule of law has been reaffirmed with these charges,” said U.S. Attorney Bogden. “Persons who use force and violence against federal law enforcement officers who are enforcing court orders, and nearly causing catastrophic loss of life or injury to others, will be brought to justice.”

“This indictment sends a resounding message to those who wish to participate in violent acts that our resolve to pursue them and enforce the law remains unwavering,” said Special Agent in Charge Bucheit.

“Today marks a tremendous step toward ending more than 20 years of law breaking,” said Bureau of Land Management Director Neil Kornze. “The nation's public lands belong to all Americans.”

Cliven D. Bundy, 69, of Bunkerville, Nev., Ryan C. Bundy, 43, of Mesquite, Nev., Ammon E. Bundy, 40, of Emmet, Idaho, Ryan W. Payne, 32, of Anaconda, Mont., and Peter T. Santilli, Jr., 50, of Cincinnati, Ohio, are charged with one count of conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States, one count of conspiracy to impede or injure a federal officer, four counts of using and carrying a firearm in relation to a crime of violence, two counts of assault on a federal officer, two counts of threatening a federal law enforcement officer, three counts of obstruction of the due administration of justice, two counts of interference with interstate commerce by extortion, and one count of interstate travel in aid of extortion. The indictment also alleges five counts of criminal forfeiture which upon conviction would require forfeiture of property derived from the proceeds of the crimes totaling at least $3 million, as well as the firearms and ammunition possessed and used on April 12, 2014.

The defendants are currently in custody in Oregon. Their arraignments on these charges have not yet been set.

The indictment states that the charges result from a massive armed assault against federal law enforcement officers that occurred in and around Bunkerville, Nev., on April 12, 2014. The defendants are alleged to have planned, organized, and led the assault in order to extort the officers into abandoning approximately 400 head of cattle that were in their lawful care and custody. In addition to conspiring among themselves to plan and execute these crimes, the defendants recruited, organized, and led hundreds of other followers in using armed force against law enforcement officers in order to thwart the seizure and removal of Cliven Bundy’s cattle from federal public lands. Bundy had trespassed on the public lands for over 20 years, refusing to obtain the legally-required permits or pay the required fees to keep and graze his cattle on the land.

The indictment charges that Cliven Bundy was the leader, organizer, and chief beneficiary of the conspiracy, and possessed ultimate authority over the conspiratorial operations and received the economic benefits of the extortion. The remaining defendants are charged as leaders and organizers who conspired with Bundy to achieve his criminal objectives.

The maximum penalties for the charges are stated below.

Conspiracy to Commit an Offense Against the U.S. – 5 years, $250,000 fine

Conspiracy to Impede and Injure a Federal Law Enforcement Officer – 6 years, $250,000 fine

Assault on a Federal Law Enforcement Officer – 20 years, $250,000 fine

Threatening a Federal Law Enforcement Officer – 10 years, $250,000 fine

Use and Carry of a Firearm in Relation to a Crime of Violence – 5 years minimum and consecutive

Obstruction of the Due Administration of Justice - 10 years, $250,000 fine

Interference with Interstate Commerce by Extortion - 20 years, $250,000 fine

Interstate Travel in Aid of Extortion – 20 years, $250,000 fine

The case is being investigated by the FBI and the Bureau of Land Management. It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Steven W. Myhre and Nicholas D. Dickinson and Special Assistant U.S. Attorneys Nadia J. Ahmed and Erin M. Creegan.

The public is reminded that an indictment contains only charges and is not evidence of guilt. The defendants are presumed innocent and entitled to a fair trial at which the government has the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Jury selection will be interesting to say the least.
any coverage? Probably not.
Cockroaches prefer the dark.

A refresher:
Bundy Ranch, Senator Harry Reid, and the BLM:
This video shows the documented facts regarding the BLM’s attack on the Bundy Ranch in Nevada. The video traces the attempts to cover up the trail leading to the confrontation. Including Senator Harry Reid’s involvement. The issue goes back to the terms of Nevada statehood.
PLEASE WATCH AND SHARE. What is going on in Nevada, and the Lame Stream Media’s attempt to ignore or misrepresent the facts must be exposed.

Who wonders if the MSM will cover it?
Other than the government's side of the proceedings.
IMO- It will be a black out for the most part.
Has been so far.

I saw the video. Quite interesting in what you call an ambush. He tried to run a roadblock and was reaching for a gun when he was shot down. I don't know why you are attempting to protect this bunch of greedy idiots. Truth is, they want what is left in the government's care - FOR FREE! ! ! ! !

Little Ball of Hate

Does any of this sound familiar? Something about British peasants being "allowed" to farm and raise cattle on land owned by the Crown.

So yu watched the video Alicia?
Are you able to actually able to think about what you viewed?
You are spewing the government propaganda. Are you on the take? Getting your "free-bees"?

After Watching these videos;
Who still stands with the BLM and FBI?
The video of BLM starting fires is at the 2:30 minute mark.
http://youtu.be/Aeeclad8G3E
Don't forget here, the BLM personnel committing arson, burning down barns, burning livestock, and burning housing of the ranchers is what started this in the first place.

I viewed two different videos and stand by my statement that the man was not ambushed. I believe you are biased and listening to biased propaganda. What else can I think of Bundy when he says he does not recognize the government of this country? He wants things as they used to be in the Old West before statehood so that he can take advantage of "free" range. Other ranchers are paying their fees. Why should he get off free? Bundy's comment that n***ers were better off when they were picking cotton got the best of me. I don't believe the BLM burned down houses. They did attempt to acquire payment - over a million dollars - from Bundy. He owes the government and on that token, the American citizens!

Alecia; I have a hunch. You are of the black persuasion.
Their are whites that can ignore their eyes also.
But I have a hunch.
Like wise there are blacks that will not deny the facts, or ignore there eyes.
Now can we go over The Bundy's and rancher's positions again?

I watched two of Ammon Bundy's videos and the ones you submitted are just as ridiculous and biased. It doesn't take much thinking to pick up on this. What's happened to your thinking or are you also as propagandized as many. Please don't try to convince me of something my eyes and brain can figure out for themselves. The Bundys are just greedy people who are attempting to live free off the government while complaining of those who are using the safety net of necessity. They wish to be welfare recipients but don't want to be called that and are attempting to get other ignorant but greedy people lined up to work with them.

Eagle,

This was on CNN and Salon and my local news yesterday/today..

Minus your article attempt to justify the criminal actions of these low lifers and robbers..

You can try twisting facts all you want, but hopefully they will get the full retribution of the law and spend decades looking thru the bars..
