The senator is from Montana, but has never taken an interest in it.

This is totally unreal. Sometimes I think the department's behavior has deteriorated to the bottom of the basement, and things like this happen, and I think it's gone to the fiery bowels of the earth.

This is an old tactic Interior has used for years - try to divide and conquer. Congress should be very upset.

This is a cruel effort to inflict even more pain on the victims of the government's long-acknowledged misbehavior. I have never seen a more blatant and transparent attempt to politicize this case in order to divide and conquer Indian country.
