Why are the immigrants so hostile to the Native Americans?
This is why prosecution of criminals in government is necessary. These guys should never have been allowed to leave quietly in the first place.
Excellent Reporting, Ms. Ollstein.
I try very hard not to wish harm to others, but there are times when my patience gets tested.
THIS is the most important post of the day (so far!) While the WH is trying to deflect from their many problems by throwing sleeze into the ether, it’s crap like this that is hurting Americans. ALL Americans. It can happen to you.
I know there are well funded Conservative Asshole incubators scattered through-out the country, but I am still amazed at how truly horrible these folks really are.
Well, at least the Dotard administration is consistent — they consistently discriminate against anyone who is not a non-Hispanic white.
Nothing but the death penalty will stop future politicians from taking such blatant advantage of us all.
It’s time to start setting up the Sedition and Treason Tribunals.
"…Cason left government to work as an energy consultant, while Bernhardt became an oil and mining lobbyist. "
THIS is the reason.
As always, it is about the exploitation of native peoples because of the abundance of natural resource extract-ability remaining on those lands or the transportation of those extracted resources across those native lands.
These two men are doing the bidding of their oil and coal masters.
Well the swamp is alive and well. Where are the GOP supporters of draining the swamp, when these two former government appointees, who left to become lobbyist walked right back in to the revolving door of the swamp.
Call your Senators on the Energy and Natural resources committee:

This is unethical business practice exercised by political appointees under the stewardship of Interior Secretary Zinke (who has problems of his own) Any business in the private sector would suffer for making clearly bias decision against the EEOC and also violated government record keeping laws. What is our POTUS doing about the very Disgraceful Zinke and his Swamp Buddies.
Absolutely.
None of this “looking forward” shit. Criminals have taken over the government, and are committing more crimes while in office. Justice demands these people be removed from government and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
My question is this: What is being done to adjudicate these actions? What is being done about it?
This can’t be just a lawsuit brought by the employees, this needs to be government action taken by the gd government! The IG, Congress (yeah, I know, I know), they need to take the proper actions hand in hand with lawsuits for the individuals, the tribes, the states involved, the American people.
Money needs to be redistributed, and people need to lose their jobs, Cason it sounds like is really in need of firing, and bankrupting with lawsuits that the gov’t won’t pay for his defense on because he violated the rules and laws of the country and department.
It’s no coincidence that those workers were sent to other functions separate from the responsibilities they had regarding land issues and Native American issues,” Grijalva told TPM. “It’s a way to take away institutional memory. It’s a way to take away the expertise about the history of the issue and the definition of tribal sovereignty.”
Institutional memory. Also could apply to short term memory of the constant revolving door in the Trump administration.
Which would also apply to the state department and other departments that this game play has been used. And they would refer to it as draining the swamp.
Trump could also claim that he is keeping his campaign promises by downsizing government meaning firing government workers or reassigning them or they just resign because they’re working conditions have become so Hostile. You’re trying to overthrow our new downsized government grasping controls at every level.
I don’t care how they do it, I don’t care what major they use, I want Donald Trump and his cabal removed from office they are a threat to our country’s solvent tree. He and his are traitors.
Well the history is relegating Native Americans to the swampiest, dustiest, rockiest, most barren, worthless real estate our ancestors could imagine. The resources in question now, have only become valuable recently due to advancements in technology. So naturally these guys are all about taking that away too.
Separated at birth?
This story deserves more attention, and in any other administration, it would get it. But in an era when the President of the United States is very likely a Russian agent, the systematic purging of people from a government agency due to their race seems like small potatoes.
Why is the US Government holding land in trust for Native Americans?
