Similar Stories to 4 Men Being Tried In Second Oregon Standoff Trial on Bing News

(AP) — The federal prosecutors who failed to convict Ammon Bundy returned to court Tuesday to try four lesser-known men who followed Bundy's call to take a hard stand against the government and occupy a national wildlife refuge in Oregon. Assistant U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Barrow spent a good portion of his opening statement telling jurors that a conspiracy does not have to include people gathering around a conference table and drafting a written agreement. There was no dispute the group seized the refuge and established armed patrols, but jurors last fall bought defense arguments that the takeover was an act of civil disobedience and the government failed to prove a conspiracy against employees. Unlike the first trial, they hired an outside consultant to help them with last week's jury selection process, a sign they believe the seeds of defeat were planted before the first witness was called.

  • Klan Mom Marge Has A Sad: 'Fox News Called Me An Idiot'
    The Daily Dot, Sunday - 05/05/2024 - 05:53 PM

    Marjorie Taylor Greene's attempt to oust Mike Johnson as Speaker is so laughable that even Fox News has had enough. "It’s high time someone in the Republican Party told Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to turn all that bombastic self-serving showmanship and drama queen energy on Democrats, and stop trying to defeat her own party," Peek said in her lengthy piece. Greene joined Trump's co-conspirator in trying to overthrow the 2020 election, Steve Bannon to b*tch and moan. And you're right, Fox News called me an idiot.

    Sen. Tim Scott, who is reported to be on Trump's short list for VP, continues to beclown himself in the service of Dear Leader. Scott made an appearance on this Sunday's Meet the Press, and was asked by host Kristen Welker about Trump's statement this week that he "would not commit to accepting the election results of 2024 if he loses" and the fact that Trump "still hasn't conceded the last election." After pointing out that Scott did certify the last election and admitted that it wasn't stolen, Welker asked Scott "Why would you join a ticket with someone who believes the exact opposite on this critical point?," which led to this absolutely ridiculous exchange:read more
