I agree. Now let's get past that reality instead of relitigating a case litigated 3 times with all rulings adverse to Bundy.

Bundy had 20 plus years of profit making on our dime. The gig's up.

If he's too stupid to know his only hope is to mitigate, then the stupid will learn by the 2x4 method.

He's in a perfect position to mitigate but that dumbass just won't STFU. Before too long, and if he keeps running his month, the Feds aren't any longer going to be the only over-reaching pricks. The strategy of giving the Feds a prop is simply stupid.
