"SNIP...........
For some strange reason, political consultant and longtime Trump confidant Roger Stone is holding a rally in Las Vegas to convince the president to pardon Cliven Bundy, his sons and their armed followers who occupied federal lands in two states.
.......
Stone is in many ways an odd bedfellow for the Bundys, since he is a longtime Washington insider with no apparent connection to ranching or public-lands issues, Wiles wrote.
The Vegas rally, which predates Bundys sons Ammon and Ryan trial at the citys courthouse by a month, could likely be a form a political maneuvering.
Stones appearance in Las Vegas this week will likely stir up a base of supporters for Bundy that could further align them with Stone and Trump, the write continues. And that would feed into a complex narrative of mistrust in the federal government.
