| The Judge in the Bundy trial just spiked prosecutor's plea for one last at conviction |
| 2018-07-05 |
| [Daily Caller] A federal judge rejected prosecutors’ request Tuesday to reconsider her dismissal of the case against Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, his two sons and friend Ryan Payne. U.S. District Judge Gloria M. Navarro dismissed conspiracy charges against the four men on Jan. 8 after finding that prosecutors had acted "with prejudice" throughout the trial, The Oregonian reported. Federal prosecutors violated federal law and failed to share evidence favorable to the defendants case with the court. (RELATED: Bundy Case Dismissed, Judge Orders Rancher Released) "The Court’s finding of outrageous government conduct was not in error," Navarro wrote in her 11-page ruling, obtained by The Oregonian. "On the contrary, a universal sense of justice was violated by the Government’s failure to provide evidence that is potentially exculpatory." The prosecutors’ request did not make any new arguments or bring forth any evidence that Navarro had not already considered in her decision to dismiss the case. "The Court gave somber consideration to the ramifications of its Order and found that it was in the interest of justice to dismiss the case with prejudice," Navarro wrote. "A motion for reconsideration should not be ’used to ask the Court to rethink what it has already thought.'" Prosecutors requested the court grant another trial against the Bundys and Payne, calling the missteps and violations throughout the trial "inadvertent." |

| #10 Along with the Senate nuke option and Judge Navarro appointment who would have thought that Reid did that much good? |

| #9 Judge Navarro was an Obama appointee. She was appointee upon the recommendation of Sen. Harry Reid aftet a one hour telephone interview. January 8th trial decision. |

| #8 Someone has to grow some balls and file Federal charges. Honestly absolutely no one will do it. But if there isn't a whole floor load sent to Federal prisons, the Dems will destroy us with the next donkey President. |

| #7 Ultimately Trump will have to fire Mueller/Rosenstein and the rest or be saddled with this albatross for the rest of his term(s). Amen, and amen. |

| #6 ...and getting back to the story, only a judge could take 11 pages to say "No. Go away. You bother me." |

| #5 #1 This was classic Obama "Justice" department under the criminal Holder. And the recent Awan whitewash proves that DOJ is still full of bad apples, all the way up to Rosenstein. This is the actual reason for the Mueller witch hunt; it prevents Trump & Sessions from taking out the trash. Ultimately Trump will have to fire Mueller/Rosenstein and the rest or be saddled with this albatross for the rest of his term(s). |

| #4 A prosecutor gets busted withholding exculpatory evidence. His penalty is... a sympathy card from the local bar association. Better luck next time, guy. |

| #3 Right or wrong on the issues, Cliven is a dick who nearly got a lot of good men killed. We were lucky this time. |

| #1 "Inadvertent" my ass. This was classic Obama "Justice" department under the criminal Holder. Too bad she cannot fine the bastards and throw them in jail for the travesty they inflicted on the defendants and the public. |
