you can see the fed courts grappling with this too, like in DC where Boasberg announced a rule requiring the DOJ notify the court when a grand jury refuses to indict
Lisa Needhamthere's no existing mechanism i can think of to stop the USAO/DOJ game of indicting people and then walking it back. sanctioning prosecutors doesn't make the wrongfully indicted person whole, nor does bar discipline. the threat of those things is so attenuated it isn't deterring them at all.
translation: "we are in no way able to go to trial on any of these and we know it and we desparately hope the people we are tormenting will settle for a conviction regardless just so this can end"
MPR NewsFederal prosecutors offered plea agreements to most defendants charged after an anti-ICE protest at Cities Church. The deals would reduce felony conspiracy charges to misdemeanors.
your legal support for your argument that Trump's executive order saying he was king of everything did not merge his official and personal interests is...the executive order? come on, man. this is pathetic shit. risible garbage. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
yepppp this.
Sarah Posnerat a press conference earlier this month, announcing the indictment against Hearn, Pirro "claimed to have witnesses who saw 'a violent effort to rip up the sealant from the bottom of the pool,' which she believed was with 'his bare hands, both hands.'" talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...
so the USAO-DC's explanation here is that they relied on the DOJ's demand to charge Hearn and did so without any evidence and then whoopsie, later the DOJ provided evidence saying that the contractor had damaged it?

Oh hello, I wrote a gazillion words about Trump's proposed new golden age of science and how it is anything but.
The new "science golden age" looks suspiciously like a griftTrump wants to run scientific research like his family business.open.substack.comIf someone cornered you at a cocktail party and said something like this, you wouldn't just try to get away from them. You'd bounce from the whole event because wtf. But elected Republicans get up every day and say unhinged stuff like this in Congress and I honestly do not know how to unfuck this.
