It's time for DJTvsg to Issue some Pardons, someone should tell Rand to drop a hint to him.
Nothing short of expungement and recompense is adequate.

You are correct, I was using "Pardons" in a sloppy manner.
Bundy disciple gets 68 years in connection with armed militia standoff in Nevada
https://www.rt.com/usa/397710-bundy-disciple-gets-68-years/
A man has been sentenced to 68 years behind bars in relation to a standoff in Nevada, which came to be led by infamous rancher Cliven Bundy. He is one of two men who has been convicted in the first of many trials related to the armed standoff.
Gregory Burleson, 53, of Phoenix was found guilty of eight felony counts in April, which included charges of obstruction of justice, threatening and assaulting federal officers, interstate travel in aid of extortion, and firearms offenses related to a crime of violence. US District Judge Gloria Navarro presided over the case.
One co-defendant in the case, Todd Engel, was also found guilty by the same jury and is awaiting a September trial. Seventeen defendants in all are implicated in the Bundy ranch standoff, Reuters reported.
Burleson is the first defendant to be tried, convicted and sent to prison in this case. Bundy and his sons, along with two other groups, are to be tried later this year and next.
Bundy’s ranch, which is near Bunkerville, Nevada, is 75 miles northeast of Las Vegas. The uprising that sprung up from the ranch started with a dispute involving federal agents seizing the rancher’s cattle when Bundy refused to pay government fees for grazing his livestock on government lands.
The standoff that resulted from the incident became one of the more widely-reported events in the country’s recent uptick of right-wing militias fighting the government for control of public lands.
In April, four others were granted a mistrial and are being re-tried in Nevada. Two others who were charged in the case pleaded guilty separately - one got seven years in prison, the other is to be sentenced in January, according to Trisha Young, a spokeswoman for the US Attorney’s Office in Las Vegas.

Now the judge needs to reverse the other convictions and even the plea bargains due to the withholding of evidence...
The Federal prosecutors filed a motion to dismiss the superseding indictment against four defendants in the Bunkerville Standoff on Wednesday, February 7th.
Defendants from Tier 2, the final group set for trial, include Dave H. Bundy, Mel D. Bundy, Joseph D. O’shaughnessy, and Jason D. Woods.
The case is, in essence, over for these four men, as the motion specifically asked for the indictment to be dismissed with prejudice. This means there is no chance for the government to come back and attempt to try them for the same charges.



Federal prosecutors are asking an Arizona judge to give them another shot at convicting Cliven Bundy on charges related to a 2014 armed standoff between the rancher and federal agents, The Oregonian reports. U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro dismissed charges against Bundy, his two sons and supporter Ryan Payne last month after finding federal prosecutors had lied to the court and hid exculpatory evidence that favored the defendants’ case. Navarro dismissed the case “with prejudice,” barring a retrial.
Prosecutors filed a motion Wednesday claiming Navarro dismissed them before considering a more appropriate solution to the civil rights violations that occurred during the trial last year, according to The Oregonian.

Yes. The news is out that the government has filed to dismiss the charges against the remaining defendants and our 2 sons who still have charges pending against them will be truly free men. You may also have read that the government has filed a Motion for the Judge to reconsider her decision to dismiss the case against Cliven, Ammon, Ryan and Ryan Payne. The government wants another bite of the apple. I don’t know what the Judge will do—she’s the only one who knows that—but it’s clear that the government wants another swing at my family. God granted His blessings and protection over my family in the last misguided prosecution and I ask for your continued prayers that He continues to extend His protection.
Hug your family tight tonight.

still awaiting fallout.
Judge Rejects Government Bid to Reopen Activist Rancher Case
A lawyer for Nevada rancher and states' rights activist Cliven Bundy is hailing as "the final nail in the coffin" a judge's decision not to let federal prosecutors reopen the criminal case stemming from a 2014 armed standoff with government agents.
LAS VEGAS (AP) — A lawyer for Nevada rancher and states' rights activist Cliven Bundy is hailing as "the final nail in the coffin" a judge's decision not to let federal prosecutors reopen the criminal case stemming from a 2014 armed standoff with government agents.
Attorney Bret Whipple on Friday characterized the 72-year-old Bundy as relieved following Chief U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro's ruling this week that "flagrant misconduct" by prosecutors had irreparably tainted the case.
A spokeswoman for Acting U.S. Attorney Dayle Elieson (el-AYE'-eh-sun) declined immediate comment.
Prosecutors could appeal to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.
Navarro in January dismissed the criminal case against Bundy, two sons and a Montana militia leader after declaring a mistrial in December.
She found federal prosecutors responsible for "deliberate attempts to mislead and distort the truth."
Fortunately the 9th is the most overruled Circuit in America and Trump picked Gorsuch and will now get a 2nd pick.Happy, belated, Independence day! Congratulations to the Bundys and those that stood by them.... Now we will see if the FedGov takes it to the 9th US Circuit court. I have a feeling this is where they wanted it to go anyway as the 9th is seen as left of center. But, for today, a victory.
