DAPL Easement -- To Be Issued NET Wednesday Afternoon -- Senator Hoeven, ND -- February 7, 2017

Via Twitter: DAPL easement won't be issued earlier than Wednesday afternoon according to North Dakota's Senator Hoeven.

From The Washington Post:

While couched in dry language — a letter from Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army Paul D. Cramer to Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva (D-Ariz.) details the 7.37 acres the pipeline would cross on federal property — the decision marks a major blow to activists who had come from across the country last year and gathered on the Standing Rock’s windswept reservation. There, they declared, a tribe and its allies would defy the federal government.

The Honorable Raúl M. Grijalvais the ranking member of the Committee on Natural Resources; Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands.

For those who have forgotten, this is the chain of command:
