Gee, Pam Bondi’s DOJ Blows Another One?
So, a federal magistrate, Zia M. Faruqui, has called an indictment “facially invalid,” which is about as damning as it gets in legal speak [3], [4], [5]. Apparently, prosecutors thought they could just push through charges for felony gun possession with a shitty document [3], [4], [5]. DOJ is trying an end-around? I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you!
Grand Jury Shenanigans
This steaming pile of crap started after a U.S. District Court grand jury actually refused to indict [1], [2]. But did that stop the DOJ? Hell no. They just trotted it over to a D.C. Superior Court grand jury and got their indictment anyway [1], [2]. It’s almost like they have an agenda, isn’t it?
The Government’s Predictable Appeal
Faruqui’s declaration that the indictment is “facially invalid” means he thinks it’s fundamentally flawed, right from the start [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. Of course, the DOJ won’t take no for an answer. I mean, look who their boss is. They’re appealing the decision to Judge Boasberg [1], [2]. Because God forbid the initial ruling stands and someone actually gets held accountable for procedural bullshit.
Boasberg’s Turn in the Barrel
Judge James E. Boasberg now gets to sort through this legal garbage fire [1], [2]. Whether he upholds Faruqui’s calling bullshit or gives in to the DOJ’s crap remains to be seen, but don’t hold your breath for any real surprises. In the immortal words of the Talking Heads, “same as it ever was”.
