LAS VEGAS — Two men pleaded guilty Thursday for their roles in an armed confrontation with federal officials over grazing rights near cattleman Cliven Bundy's ranch.
Gerald "Jerry" DeLemus and Blaine Cooper are the first of 19 defendants to take plea deals in the April 2014 standoff. Each man admitted to conspiring with others who engaged in a tense standoff with federal Bureau of Land Management agents near Bundy's property about 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas. Each also pleaded guilty to another felony in the case.
Both said they weren't physically present for the standoff. "I was calling people to participate," Cooper told U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro.
Their plea deals call for sentences of six years in federal prison, although their defense attorneys can seek leniency at sentencing Dec. 1. Each also could be fined as much as $500,000 and be subject to as much as three years of government supervision after prison.
Cooper, 37, from Humboldt, Arizona, also pleaded guilty to assault on a federal officer.
He told the judge he interfered with the execution of federal court orders by recruiting armed gunmen to display support for Bundy and his sons Ammon Bundy, Ryan Bundy, Mel Bundy and Dave Bundy and stop the roundup of the family's cattle from the scenic Gold Butte area.
DeLemus, 61, of Rochester, New Hampshire, also pleaded guilty to a felony alleging that when he drove cross-country with guns he intended to display "force and aggression" to stop the roundup.
Tell them that you do not wish to speak to them with out you attorney present.
so where are all the patriots commenting over this travesty? The plea has been news for a week now and nothing but crickets. pleading guilty and still looking at six years? Well at least the desert tortoise and chinese solar are safe and sound...
I feel badly for Jerry - that blows - but I can bet it was a deal that if they didn't take it, they were going for the whole pile and they would get life+ as certain evidence and facts would not be presented due to legal maneuvers.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A judge called a New Hampshire man a "bully vigilante" and sentenced him Wednesday to more than seven years in prison for his role organizing armed backers of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy after a standoff with U.S. agents in 2014.

DeLemus told the judge that he traveled cross-country with weapons because he'd heard that government snipers surrounded the Bundy home. He said he was willing to "take a bullet" to protect the family.
"My concern was that someone would get hurt," he said, choking back tears. "It wasn't the cows. I didn't want that family injured. God will know in the end."
I still can't wrap my head around this.
Plus, they can get a conviction for "lying to a federal agent" if they do not like your answers (note that I am not saying "if you lie").Talking to the Feds seems to me to be a losing proposition. You aren't going to talk your way out of trouble and you might well talk your way into club fed.
I believe FBI policy prohibits recording of any interviews by any party.No way I would give a statement to a Fed, even as a witness, unless my lawyer is there and we have our own video recording.
If there was ever a legit case for a pardon, this is it.
That's a warning to others that might have similar beliefs - resist and your life is forfeit (worse than dead for the liberty minded)That's not 68 yrs. Thats a life sentence. MF
If Obama can give gangbang drug users pardons .....
