12. As revealed by numerous news agencies and sources, the reason for this invasion and armed assault by the BLM and other agents, was to remove PLAINTIFF BUNDY and his family from the land so it could be sold for profit and/or kickbacks by and to Defendants HARRY REID and his son RORY REID, a Las Vegas lawyer in a secret under the table deal, being then negotiated by Defendant RORY REID on behalf of himself and his father. See, e.g., “Reports: Company Tied to Reid’s Son Wants Land in Bundy Standoff, Newsmax, Sunday, 13 April 2014. Exhibit 1 incorporated herein by reference. Not coincidentally it has been widely reported and disclosed that Defendant HARRY REID at all material times owned 93 acres adjacent to the Bundy ranch in Bunkerville. Exhibit 2 – “Busted: Harry Reid Owns 93 Acres Next to Bundy Ranch,” Truth and Action Report. He thus coveted his neighbor’s property and chattels.
