QuoteMost startling of all were the undercover government informants that were revealed in the trial. After weeks of wrangling and arguing with defense lawyers, the Justice Department finally stipulated that at least nine undercover informants were planted among the Refuge occupiers. Thus, informants outnumbered the defendants on trial. One informant was even a “bodyguard” for Ammon Bundy and drove him to his arrest. Another informant admitted he trained occupiers in shooting and combat skills.This probably is what got them acquitted.QuoteAfter a week of deliberating over the evidence, the jury came back with its verdict yesterday afternoon, acquitting every defendant. (Jurors said they were divided regarding an accusation that Ryan Bundy aided and abetted the theft of government property when he and others climbed utility poles and took down two of the government’s surveillance cameras.)This is just funny.

If the latter, I guess you could still say they "stole" it (or the use of it), but it seems that would be a much more minor crime, if it actually is a theft related crime, than outright removing it from the property.

Putting a little tinfoil on my head, it makes me wonder how many of the weird supply requests and other shenanigans that made the group look less than competent were initiated by the planted informants.
