Try this one on for size, Senator Harry Reid and his son have a vested interest in that property http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/08/31/us-usa-china-reid-solar-idUSBRE87U06D20120831
I would call that an abuse of power so does Kit Daniels http://www.infowars.com/breaking-sen-harry-reid-behind-blm-land-grab-of-bundy-ranch/

There are several problems with your theory:
The BLM already owns the land. They don't need to get rid of Bundy in order to grant oil leases. He's already, in the eyes of the law, illegally trespassing since he stopped paying for his permit in 1993. And even if he was still there, his rights to graze on the land would not affect oil leases in any way.
Invoking a reptile will not help. As having an endangered species present will affect the ability to give oil exploration leases as much as it helps reduce the number of cattle grazing. And remember this is a dispute that dates back to 1993. It's not like the BLM just suddenly played the tortoise card. The Tortoise was the cause of the original dispute 20 years ago. He's not being evicted for the tortoise, he's having his cattle removed because he has not paid a grazing fee for 20 years.
The article claims the money collected by the BLM will increase BLM salaries and bonuses. But BLM, being a federal agency, has fixed tiered salaries paid under the General Schedule, and does not give bonuses for selling oil rights. Those monies just go to the treasury.

Actually, the land is not owned by his family:
From
http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/10/us/nevada-rancher-rangers-cattle-showdown/
"What began as a legal fight between longtime rancher Cliven Bundy and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management has escalated as Bundy kept his cattle on the federal land, and the government has responded by beginning roundups of the livestock."
From -
http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/nevada/bundy-vs-blm-interest-cattle-dispute-widens
"Almost 600,000 acres of public land has been temporarily closed to the public as more than 900 cattle are rounded up from a vast swath of mountains and desert where Bundy has left his livestock to roam even though he hasn’t paid federal grazing fees since 1993.
The BLM’s Lueders said the seizure of cattle on federal land was being done as a “last resort,” and there is only one person to blame for the situation.
“Mr. Bundy is breaking the law, and he has been breaking the law for 20 years,” she said. “He owes the taxpayers of the United States over $1 million.”

What nonsense
The disgruntled rancher is crying because he can no longer graze his cattle of Federal land for the super cheap price of $ 1.35 per head per month
