The attorney Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy tried and failed to get taken off the case, is now back on the case.
This follows a bizarre request by Bundy to represent himself in his case stemming to 2014 standoff at Bundy Ranch in Bunkerville. Whipple tells News 3 he and Bundy’s relationship is intact, saying “We’re fine, we’re always fine. Mr. Bundy was just frustrated he couldn’t get his viewpoint out.”
Whipple says people think Bundy’s beef with the feds is about money.
“Everybody thinks it’s about money. It’s not. It’s about who receives the money," said Whipple.
Bundy believes the U.S. Government never owned the land that his family has run cattle on for more than a century.
Bundy believes a 1800s land transfer gave the land to the state of Nevada, and Whipple says, Bundy has paid grazing fees to the rightful owner of the land which is Clark County.
“So he’s willing to pay, he has paid, but they just sent it back," said Whipple. And that is the messaging drum Bundy wanted Whipple to beat.
Trouble is, that’s not why Whipple represents his client in a criminal case.
Whipple’s message to Bundy? “Let me get you out of jail, and then you can take your case about who owns the land to Washington. He’s getting the cart before the horse.”...

In 20 years he made one attempt to pay to Clark County after being told that they could not accept it.
It is not about principle, but about not being willing to pay even a strongly discounted use fee.
The trial itself is about setting up his own country, with him as chief legal authority, and defending it against the U.S. with his own army.
