WOW!! DOJ’S EFFORTS TO DISMISS JAN6 CHARGES C*CK-BLOCKED BY JUDGE!!
by Anne P. Mitchell, Esq. – giving you the facts and truth about this administration and the law, in plain English
I’m going to officially post this tomorrow (because it’s after 10pm where I am, and far later where many of you are) but I wanted to sneak it out to those of you who are still awake.
Remember how last week we talked in one of our live shows about how the DOJ had just filed a motion to *dismiss* *with prejudice* the charges against several of the Jan6 rioters, saying that it had decided in its prosecutorial discretion that dismissal of the charges were “in the interest of justice”?
And we talked about how the motion was unopposed by the defendants because, of course, why *would* the Jan6 defendants oppose the DOJ letting them off scot-free?
And how we talked about how whacked it was that the DOJ could just do that?
Well guess what. Apparently Judge Amit Mehta, who has those Jan6 cases, thinks so too, because late yesterday Judge Amit Mehta BLOCKED the DOJ’s efforts, saying that he needed to fully examine the situation, to make sure that it really *was* in the interest – the *public’s* interest – of justice.
Being that it was late Friday, and today is Saturday, the order isn’t even on the public dockets yet (at least it wasn’t last I checked) so I *purchased* the order for you. (Notes from the Front members it’s in your inbox now.)
Citing to controlling case law, Judge Mehta says in the two-page order (but wow what he packs into those two pages!), “[T]he court lacks the information necessary both to determine whether “the reasons advanced for the proposed dismissal are substantial” and to guard against “abuse of prosecutorial discretion.”
THEN he orders the government to cough up more information by next Friday (June 5th)!
So what’s going to happen? It’s anybody’s guess, but in theory he could order that the charges *not* be dismissed, and that the trials move forward, and appoint special prosecutors (because obviously this DOJ has no intention of prosecuting these defendants).
First the Court in the IRS settlement grift *reopens* a closed case to examine what Trump and his DOJ are doing, and now another Court says “not so fast” to the DOJ’s motion to dismiss Jan6 charges!
We are truly through the looking-glass now, and I couldn’t be more delighted.
