I'm kind of curious as to what kind of testimony the Feds really need for so many plea deals. Surely they have enough to bury the Bundys in the deepest pits they have already?

They've probably got more than enough based on what the Bundy's have posted on Facebook alone. My guess is it's all part of showing the world that they're spineless cowards to their core and happy to turn on each other to save their own skin. With any luck the Feds will release the tapes of the underlings begging to rat on the Bundy's for leniency.

See the Mafia.

It used to be pretty common for mobsters to go to jail on their "omerta" code of silence since it would be a short stint behind bars and they'd be taken care of while in prison, which would also mean they'd get paroled earlier since they're not looking for trouble, and once they got out, they'd have protection and opportunities to rebuild their standing. Then, in the '70s, Nixon gets a whole bunch of drug laws and the RICO act passed, and suddenly, getting sent to the slammer for two-three years and a good chance to get out early with good behavior starts looking like minimum 20 years with no parole. So, what started happening was mobsters started snitching on one another. It gets so bad in the mafia that anyone dealing with those charges are preemptively assassinated to prevent ratting out their coworkers and superiors, so that gets even more mobsters willing to cooperate because now their lives are at risk even if they were made men following their mafia code.

It's said that drug laws were the primary reason for the collapse of the Mob because how could you do business if you're either having people rat you out or you're murdering your own tightly-knit crime family to preserve it. No one would want to join up if they're going to get murdered or sent up the river by their friends. The Mafia is still around but has weakened it's scope significantly. It's why the common interpretation these days is "The Sopranos", where the best Tony Soprano could do was a middle-class life in New Jersey and a strip club, and no longer The Godfather, where Michael Corleone has mansions in New Jersey, Lake Tahoe, and Italy and almost had Cuba and the Vatican.

Ryan might but he's also probably not going to live to see it. Like probably before trial, the way things are looking. I'm guessing that his imprisonment is beginning to get to him and he's realizing the consequences of no longer being a rancher.

Personally I'd like to see them get 10 year sentences but get fines so steep that they'll be paying 25% of their wage in garnishments literally for the rest of their life

They get out of prison and their kids and estranged wives won't talk to them and they can't pay their bills, the bundys will have to move in together and share a trailer in the desert and be those kinds of people who say "Oh, I can't have a bank account" when they get asked about direct deposit at a new job or whatever

btw if someone ever says the phrase "I can't have a bank account" to you there is a 100% chance they are a garbage person

You can bet that any plea deals involved turning on the Bundy clan. No, they're going to throw the book at them for both Bunkerville and Malheur and they're using the others to sell them out. The Feds have experience dealing with mafiosos and terrorists by having the underlings turn on the big man that some podunk insurrectionists aren't going to escape them.

Even the language used in Ritzheimer's statement is being made that Bundys weren't equals among them, but leaders, hence the comment about him clearing out the reserve before Ammon Bundy was to arrive. They're making it look like he was some conquering commander.

quote:

A 10-year-old Roseburg boy has honored one of the occupiers of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge by naming his prize-winning steer after him.

The News-Review reports that a 1,030-pound black Maine-Anjou named LaVoy Finicum earned third-place at the Douglas County Fair. The steer is named after Robert “LaVoy” Finicum, the Arizona rancher killed by law enforcement during the occupation. In March officials declared the shooting justified.

Gotta love that choice of language too

This is pretty much how the FBI rolls. Offer reduced sentences to the lower level people that pose little to no risk of being this stupid again in exchange for testimony against the people they want to make examples out of, and the FBI does not gently caress around when it wants to make an example out of someone.

Because I really hope he can't cop a plea deal.

One of my favorite Fiore moments was when she was in a call with all the local Harney county officials and tried to call Ammon a rancher. The judge, already at wits end with these loons, immediately cuts her off and calls him a used car salesman that happened to grow up on a ranch.

That interaction was esp. hilarious since the judge is kind of a right wing sagebrush crazy himself

He wasn't just pissed at the Bundys for being a bunch of wannabe pretend ranchers, he was pissed at them for how massively their dumb stunt discredited the sagebrush movement and how hard it is going to be to get traction anymore through legislative means

And he was right, of course. It takes a hell of a lot more political capital now to get anything done on "giving the land back to the states" and I can't imagine the handful of rural yahoos it affects will ever have any luck getting the process moving again. Good. I'd rather have wild birds than a bunch of dumb ranchers living on handouts from the federal government anyway
