Gonna verify exactly what the BLM is and isn't doing in NV. Can't trust the mainstream media. I'm personally meeting with Cliven this hour

Former GOP Rep. Joe Walsh arrived in Nevada on Saturday just as it was reported that the Bureau of Land Management was ending its court-ordered removal of Cliven Bundy’s cattle from public land.

The tense and complicated standoff between the rancher and the BLM grew increasingly toxic as incidents of violence between protesters and law enforcement were reported and false information spread across the Internet.

Walsh wonders if today’s developments are really the end of the standoff.
Is the BLM going to return all the seized cattle? This isn't over. They just want you to leave the #BundyRanch, then they'll come back

The BLM just wants patriot protesters to stop showing up. Don't fall for it. It's not over. #BundyRanch

Until we know the details of the terms of the BLM withdrawal, let's hold off on declaring victory. If our attention wanes, they'll be back.

We also need to find out what the BLM has done w/Bundy cattle. Killed? Sold? I'll get answers within the hour. #BundyRanch #tcot #freedom

If BLM backed off because they feared violence from the protesters, then we need to keep a vigil at #BundyRanch to keep eyes on it. #tcot

According to 8NewsNow.com’s sources,”the BLM wants to proceed with the sale of the cattle already gathered during the roundup but is reportedly willing to share the revenue from the sale with Bundy.”
Stay tuned as this story develops.
[Update]
As details continue to emerge, Walsh shares what he’s hearing on the ground in Nevada.
Hearing that the people are moving to reclaim the cattle seized by BLM. I'll be with them shortly. #BundyRanch #tcot
