“Tsk tsk tsk, please don’t do it again or next time I will write a strongly worded letter!” - Judge scolds the Justice Department.
Ouch, a strongly worded letter, let’s see if they are prepared to deal with that!
“…more like chewed out. I’ve been chewed out before.”
“missteps”
You have no evidence and just made shit up.
“Scolds”
Repercussions? No? Ok then.
The repercussions are that all the grand jury materials are going to be released to the defense, which is extremely rare.
These materials will bolster one or more of the arguments for dismissal making them much more likely to succeed.
If these materials clearly demonstrate prosecutorial misconduct (which so far has not been proven) I think they could also be submitted as bar complaints against the prosecuting lawyers, making those complaints more powerful which could lead to career consequences for those lawyers.
This decision, which is part of the preliminary phase of a trial, is extremely unusual and very bad for the prosecution.
Professional courtesy for the non-professionals trying to be professional.
trying to be professional.In THEIR minds they are trying but from OUR perspective it’s more like when the monkeys at the zoo throw feces at us.
I sincerely hope this is the judge setting the stage for dismissing the case with prejudice - which is lawyer speak for “you fucked this up so much and so categorically that I’m going to prohibit you from re-filing the case, even if you fix the deficiencies I’m going to point out to you”.
It’s a beauty queen/model turned insurance lawyer who got appointed to the DOJ by being a pretty MAGA nutjob running the prosecution. She’s never run a federal grand jury or trial and is doing very very illegal things along the way.
Hey judge, why the fuck is it “scolds” and not “dismisses the case?”
