Bundy case
In response to your Feb. 8 article, “Judge urged to reconsider Bundy decision”:
Let me get this clear. On Jan. 14, the Review-journal reported that federal prosecutors deceived a federal judge, repeatedly ignored the law and failed to provide the defense with evidence that could have harmed the government’s case.
Now, I read that those same prosecutors are asking a judge to reconsider her decision to dismiss the charges against rancher Cliven Bundy. As I remember it, Judge Gloria Navarro cited flagrant misconduct by prosecutors and put it in the record that this case cannot be tried again.
Shame on these prosecutors who deceived the courts by withholding evidence that could have helped clear Mr. Bundy. To these prosecutors, I say leave Cliven Bundy and his family alone. his own. Even though he filled his Cabinet with multimillionaires who can afford to travel anywhere in any style on their own, they apparently feel entitled to splurge on the public dime.
First, Tom Price, the secretary of Health and Human Services, had to resign for traveling on private planes. Mr. Trump, with his exploitation of his office to tout his properties, was obviously unable to instruct members of his Cabinet on the ethical use of travel funds.
His Cabinet secretaries apparently did not learn from Mr. Price’s example, either. EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt, claiming unfortunate encounters with fellow passengers in coach, used this terrible hardship as justification for flying first class.
Now VA Secretary David Shulkin has stepped in it while traveling to Europe. He lied about receiving an award in Denmark to justify billing us for his wife’s airfare. He not only spent most of the time sightseeing, but he also improperly accepted free Wimbledon tickets from a “close personal friend” who has stated he did not even know Mrs. Shulkin’s first name. In an attempt to cover all this up, he apparently had internal VA emails altered and has claimed that they were hacked.
The swamp is now so deep I need to switch from boots to hip waders.
