I'm surprised that the Trump/Barr Justice Department made this decision. NPR reported on Thursday:
It's been more than two years since Cliven Bundy left the federal courthouse in downtown Las Vegas a free man.
His arm around his wife, Carol Bundy, the Nevada rancher was defiant.
"We're not done with this," Bundy told reporters in January 2018. "If the federal government comes after us again we will definitely tell 'em the truth."
On Friday, the Justice Department will try to come after the Bundys again, when federal prosecutors will appeal for a retrial over a 2014 armed standoff between Bundy, his militia and federal agents who had come to round up the rancher's cows that were illegally grazing on federal land.

And guess which lawyer is representing Bundy?
"What's really ironic and frankly I think disgusting is that the Trump Justice Department is the one that allowed the U.S. attorney in Nevada to take the appeal," said Larry Klayman, Cliven Bundy's attorney.
Yes, the failed lawyer and conspiracy fruit loop Larry Klayman.

(7,134 posts)3. Damn! I saw a video clip of Klayman just today
The deposition of ROGER STONE where he is being sued by his former Reich-wing BFF and lawyer - Larry Klayman!
Klayman was suing Stone! And the clip showed Stone to be a royal, foul-mouthed, ass.
