Ooh look at these charges against Papa Bundy

[tencats]

YIKES! How many years do these charges warrant? The complaint against Cliven details specific acts committed by "co-conspirators 1, 2, 3 and 4." I imagine charges against those folks will be forthcoming.
What will the conditions for bail be, should be interesting.

1. This should grab the full attention of the patriot group nutjobs for a while

They'll all have their noses in legal books. Hey, David Fry might become a lawyer, he sure can talk..

[elleng]

2. It's possible NO bail will be set,

if he's seen as a 'flight risk,' which would not be farfetched imo.

3. Bail should be set at whatever his current unpaid debt for grazing fees is, plus a zero or two

4. Essentially the federal charges criminalize all the obvious crimes of the Bundy clan from

last year when the merry band of madmen rode right wing media support to seize federal property illegally and violently.
The wheels of justice grind slowly, but ever so finely.

5. Will they allow him to keep his cowboy hat and belt buckle as fashion accessories

to his orange jump suit?

[herding cats]

6. That's a hefty list!

It's good to see him finally having to face justice. Maybe this will make the others of his ilk think twice in the future and avoid another Malheur type situation.

7. Wonder who the co conspirators are??

Interesting how many people so far arrested have previous felonies.

Even the dude who rode the horse around with the flag apparently was a convicted felon and tried to leave with two rifles hidden in the horse trailer.

I think once all the stuff comes out it will be interesting to see how many firearms were stolen they were using as well as how many of the armed people were not legally allowed to possess a firearm.

Maybe a lot of these guys hated the gov't because they were common criminals who had run afoul of the law before.

8. On top of that list should be Blaine Cooper

He on the right in pic.

He fled the refuge shortly after reportedly receiving a phone call from the FBI as witnessed by David Fry. That was just after word was received of Levoy's death. Blaine has been a very visible participant in several other protests with members of the Bundy clan.

9. Arrested already, this morning I think? Yep, send donations request online already! #CyberBeggars

Found it:

Occupier Blaine Cooper arrested in Utah

He was booked into jail in Washington County, Utah, which includes the city of St. George, online jail records show. The arresting agency was listed as the FBI.

An indictment was unsealed in federal court in Portland on Thursday. Cooper was charged with conspiracy to impede officers of the United States, the same charge that has been leveled against at least 20 others involved in the 41-day bird sanctuary occupation.

Cooper's wife, Melissa Cooper, took to Facebook following the arrest to solicit donations ....

.... others charged in the indictment that named Cooper were Corey Lequieu, 45, of Nevada; Neil Wampler, 68, of California; Jason Charles Blomgren, also known as "Joker J," of Nevada; and Darryl William Thorn.

Wampler was convicted in 1977 of second-degree murder in the killing of his father.

This post will be updated when more information is available. .

12. Looks like he's been practicing his Martin Shkreli smirk

Should serve him well at trial.

10. Looks like the Department of Justice called in

The Department of Done Fuckin' with You People.

13. DUzy Can you make the meme?

[morningfog]

14. The firearm is a mandatory minimum of 7 years (could be more depending on the weapon)

and two charges carry a sentence of up to 20.

15. List of offenses with penalties

18 U.S. Code § 371
"...each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both."

18 U.S. Code § 111(b)
"...shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both."

18 U.S. Code § 924(c)
"...be sentenced to a term of imprisonment of not less than 15 years."

18 U.S. Code § 1503
"...imprisonment for not more than 10 years, a fine under this title, or both."

18 U.S. Code § 1951
"...shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both."

18 U.S. Code § 2
"...Whoever commits an offense against the United States or aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission, is punishable as a principal."

So, he could get up to 70 years if they go for the max.

16. He will also end up ultimately being charged for

his flight on Con Air back to Nevada. I know someone who got a ride on Con Air (some people are just plain stupid) and part of his sentencing/parole included reimbursing the government for the cost of his ride.
