Nonilex<p>“In short, the first justification for the motion—that Damian Williams’s role in the case somehow tainted a valid indictment supported by ample evidence, & pursued under four different US attys—is so weak as to be transparently pretextual….”</p><p>The 2nd justification, <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/HaganScotten" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HaganScotten</span></a> writes, was worse. “No system of ordered liberty can allow the govt to use the carrot of dismissing charges, or the stick of threatening to bring them again, to induce an elected ofcl to support its policy objectives.”</p>
