... When we last left the Bundy posse, the federal government had charged 26 individuals who took part in the Malheur occupation and 19 people ...
So far, 11 Malheur defendants have pleaded guilty to charges of conspiring to impede federal employees at the Malheur wildlife refuge through intimidation, threats or force ... The eight Malheur defendants who will step into court this week have entered not guilty pleas ... Another seven Malheur defendants are part of a separate trial also set for next February ...
“The Bundy family and their outlandish opinions on American democracy and American public lands will no doubt be on display during this trial,” says Greg Zimmerman, of the progressive research group Center for Western Priorities. “But let's not lose sight of the fact that the Bundys have continued to receive support from elected officials.”
“The reality is the history of this family’s engagement with the federal government is not a laughing matter,” adds Lenz. “It’s a serious safety concern.”
