Our federal law enforcement and prosecutors screwed something up in an attempt to slam dunk their case.....

We had a thread on the old site about this topic and my memory of it is a bit hazy, but I seem to recall that the charges being brought accused the Bundy's of provoking/escalating things and they were claiming that they were reacting to govco's marshalling of snipers and cameras (or something to that effect).  The fact that govco actually did deploy snipers and cameras (first) was kind of a pivotal/essential fact.

It would be nice to see the hundreds of thousands of people of color who have been equally victimized by prosecutors similarly benefit. Unfortunately they'll just get told by judges that the error was harmless and to kindly go fuck themselves.

I see you Mizzou.
