Ammon Bundy's lawyer quotes from Western film, mocks federal prosecutors in last-minute legal motion

Five days before jury selection is set to begin, Ammon Bundy's lawyer mocked federal prosecutors for their concise rejection of his last-minute efforts to convince the court to throw out the indictment based on his client's continued challenges of federal control of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and the court's authority.

On Thursday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Ethan Knight wrote, "This Court has jurisdiction ... because this is a case involving federal criminal charges.''

He added, "Moreover, Bundy's adverse possession theory is fatally flawed because it does not apply to the federal government.''
