Amazing that the narrator didn't bother to mention the most salient facts of the case:
= The land in question is not Mr. Bundy's
- Mr. Bundy was grazing illegally for many years and the BLM was following a court directive to remove his cattle. Does the author believe that Harry Reid owns the courts, too?
- Harry Reid is constitutionally authorized to have a say in the disposition of that land. So if he adjudges that Mr. Bundy's cattle are an impediment to a solar plant and thus uses some influence to have the BLM seek redress in court against Bundy that's perfectly within his authority. If Mr. Reid is too influential in the disposition of Federal land in Nevada that's up to Nevada voters to decide.

You're absolutely right. And now, thanks to Cliven Bundy, they have more information. If not for him fighting the BLM, Nevada voters would have no knowledge of this "influence," or, cronyism.
If you have no problem with the conflicts of interest here, well, you must be heavy into politics.

I thought Reid had nothing to do with this.
