    Raise your hand if you think this will result in meaningful consequences of any kind.

    Hopefully by closed they mean “we’ve handed any evidence/tapes over to the prosecutor who is free to do their thing”

      Oh sorry, you can’t choose a prosecutor. You need to select from one of these shills that the defendant/offender put in place, as is tradition according to the constitution.

      Right?

        I still find it absolutely amazing that anyone appointed by an official isn’t barred from being involved in any investigation or judicial proceeding involving that official.

          The lack of ethics in judiciary nowadays is astounding.

          The one branch of government that would be truly terrifying if it was no longer impartial is no longer impartial. Welcome to the 21st century!

    “Federal law prohibits campaigns from using the military cemetery for political campaigning or election-related activities.”

    According to the Army, via the article the case is both closed (as the employee who was attacked has decided to not press charges) and that it is an open (investigation) and so related documents are not available under FOIA.

    The trumpers were videoing in an area where that is not permitted, and offered video (not yet released) which exonerated them.

    If you or I were to have done what the trumpers did, we’d have been arrested, and probably still be in jail. smh.
