Well, its not over, Reid told NBCs Nevada affiliate KRNV on Monday. We cant have an American people that violate the law and then just walk away from it. So its not over.

(53,339 posts)It's true that a Chinese company once did propose a solar project--but not, as the video claims, on federal land near Bundy Ranch. The proposal involved purchase of Clark County land at Laughlin--177 miles away from Bundy Ranch, on the other side of Las Vegas.
And you've heard of lying by omission? The video conveniently leaves out the fact that the Chinese company canceled the proposed solar project nearly a year ago (see story below).

A Chinese-backed company is pulling the plug on a multibillion-dollar solar project near Laughlin after it was unable to find customers for the power that would have been generated there, a Clark County spokesman said Friday.
In a letter dated Friday, an executive from ENN Mojave Energy LLC informed the county that the company was terminating its agreement to purchase 9,000 acres near Laughlin, stating that the market will not support a project of this scale and nature at this time.
The company, a subsidiary of ENN Group, described as the largest energy company in China, said it was unable to sign the necessary power purchase agreements to sell the energy generated from the solar plant to utilities in Nevada or neighboring states.
When the plan was initially pitched to commissioners, developers said they planned to first build a solar panel factory followed by a massive solar energy plant on land 90 miles south of Las Vegas.

(53,339 posts)Even infowars backed off the bogus China solar story. Now they're moving the goalposts and citing other green energy projects in the state that Reid supports and jumping through hoops to try to tie them to the Bundy story. New attack, same BS.
One thing's for sure--it's not a good idea to bring that tripe here.

You are correct.Harry....it ain't over.
This guy will be sorry. But it may take some time, but he broke the law and because of his total arrogance, and hatred, he will be indicted and stand trial. It won't be cheap, and he will lose...pretty easy to see, if you are willing to look.

(38,428 posts)It will take time, but it will be definite, simple, and fair. He will get a fair trial, and be convicted.

I hate assholes like this, as much as anyone. He and his ilk, are the first ones to yell against the protesters against the war or the environment. Their hate is as ugly as one can imagine. He doesn't have to follow the law, and he will use woman to stand in front of marshals to prevent their use of force.. And..I believe too..that Obama was correct in not offering the opportunity for him/his ilk to become martyrs for their cause. He wanted that more than anything,
.... so others would follow and say..see the big bad government did this...like Waco..............................................................
so there would be more like Tim Mc Veigh who would do more, and more...
He reeks like all his ilk. Hate. He will get his, it will take time. He will get his.
