Bundys Deny the Governments Legitimacy As It Pays for Their Legal Defense

http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2017/11/bundys-deny-the-governments-legitimacy-as-it-pays-for-their-legal-defense/

"Prosecutors charged 19 people with crimes related to the 2014 armed standoff with the Bureau of Land Management at Bundy’s ranch. Court-appointed attorneys or public defenders have represented all of those people except Bundy himself. The federal tab for defending 17 of the 19 people charged in the case thus far is nearly $2 million, according to court records—and that figure is likely to go much higher, as the case still has two trials to go. Jury selection for the trial of Cliven Bundy, two of his sons, and one other defendant started this week."

Geez Louise!
