The defendants in the Bunkerville Standoff Trial are to be released from prison. Ammon Bundy is to be released on Thursday morning, Nov 30th. Ryan Payne will be released, with the coordination of Judge Anna Brown in Oregon, as soon as he provides Bond.
Cliven Bundy has been offered release but has refused it. Cliven will wait until the remaining defendants, including 2 more of his sons, are also offered release.
These defendants have been incarcerated for nearly 2 years, and though the judge just recently ruled against their pre-trial release, she has changed her mind.
What happened?
There was a sealed hearing this morning. The court discussed the false narrative that the prosecution has been perpetuating. I am sure they did not call it that, but nonetheless, it is what it is.
...Another falsehood by the government is the cameras placed strategically to surveil the Bundy Ranch during the days that lead up to the standoff. The prosecution continued to deny their existence, down to mocking Ryan Bundy months ago when he filed a motion for the release of that information. The prosecutors called it a fishing expedition at the time, then had to eat their words when their own witness testified to the existence of these cameras.
Attempting to save face, AUSA Myhre, and company, made every excuse they could as to these cameras. Claiming there was only a single camera, it was shown to be at least 3, and possibly 4, cameras recording the Bundy family.
The prosecutors then tried to say that, though these live feeds were streamed directly to the office of disgraced BLM Special Agent Daniel Love, no one was watching the extra large big screen TV. They also attempted to say that there was no recording of the surveillance, no one taking notes of the footage, and no one else could watch the video, all of which proved to be false.
Even Judge Navarro, who has continuously tried to help the prosecution, could not swallow that story.
There is also the tale of the government snipers. Though the information on the snipers was revealed in previous trials, the prosecution continued to call them false, and tried to say it was a lie by the defense. However, the release of more photographic evidence revealed the lies to come from the government.
...However, even with these attempts, the prosecution continues to be caught hiding more exculpatory evidence.
Reliable sources have told me that the main reason that Judge Navarro agreed to the release of the defendants is because of the Threat Assessment Report.
The government has relied upon this report to justify keeping the defendants incarcerated. They have claimed all along that the Bundy’s were violent, yet no one has produced evidence of these claims.
The FBI did a Threat Assessment on the Bundy’s in the beginning that stated they were NOT a threat. The government has made every attempt to hide this report, yet it was finally revealed in court.
Additionally, this claim of the family being violent is what was used as justification for their overabundance of government agents during the impoundment operation known as “Gold Butte”.

I've been hoping that someday, somehow, all the facts would come out concerning the government's actions in this case. Kudos to Redoubt News for their coverage of this issue.

One thing that was mentioned by a legally-affiliated Bundy-basher was that the release was a good move by the judge to avoid the likelihood of it resulting in a successful appeal.
The fact that there has been no video or tv coverage allowed in the courtroom of any of these trials is a travesty in itself.
In fact, all courtroom cases involving the government should be, at the least, video or audio recorded, - for the same reason law enforcement are now required to wear cameras & use dash cams.
And, there is no excuse for FBI or BLM to not have any body cams or dash cams turned on when conducting a PLANNED operation like the cattle seizure in Bunkerville, and the illegal roadblock in Oregon.
What a convenient coincidence that, in both Nevada and Oregon protests, the LEO had very little video or audio coverage.
There was plenty of opportunity during set-up time to make sure that all cameras were operating -- unlike in incidental situations like accidents or other LEO response activity of a spontaneous nature - yet, those cameras are all suppose to be working, as well.
And I don't buy the fact either, that no cameras were turned on or not working when idaho deputies shot and killed rancher Jack Yantis.
- that shooting wasn't premeditated, but was due to the arrogance and violent nature of one deputy - who had been previously fired for roughing up an elderly driver over a minor traffic violation - which, in that case, happen to be on video, resulting in his termination.
How ironic it is that the arrogant government elites - who always claim that our agrarian lifestyle is outdated and therefore insignificant to the US economy - can't or won't consistently use modern-day technology that could clarify evidence in legal disputes and would enable the public to see whether or not if the constitution is upheld in the court of law.

Excellent comment.
Thank you Frank, but making common-sense comments like that got me got me kicked off facebook...again.
Aside from "liking" the story of Bundys' release their FB page, I sent on MSNBC's Joy Reid's FB and asked her where she got her food and informed her that if Hillary would have won farmers & ranchers would be out of business which would quickly solve her weight problems.
And it doesn't help that FB is on the top 10 list of Soros' stocks portfolio.
Soros also has uranium mining investor, Frank Giustra, on the board of directors of his Open Crisis Group foundation.
Soros also has stock in uranium as well as Solar City.
......just saying.
