(Reuters) - A federal judge in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday criticized the U.S. Justice Department for speaking to the media about the ongoing investigation into the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol by former President Donald Trump's supporters.
In an unusual court hearing, U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta said he was "surprised" by remarks prosecutor Michael Sherwin made to the CBS television program "60 Minutes," and troubled by a New York Times article that cited anonymous Justice Department sources....
..."I found it troubling that sources within the Department of Justice were detailing the possibility of additional charges in a pending criminal case and an ongoing criminal investigation," Mehta said, adding, "this case will not be tried in the media."

[Mehta said, adding, “this case will not be tried in the media.”]
But the false narrative has already been reinforced in the minds of the stupid sheeple addicted to “the news” - as intended.
All these statements of concern from judges are meaningless until they sanction or arrest some prosecutor for contempt of court, or dismiss cases.
The DOJ couldn’t give a flying fornication about the judge “expressing concern”.
And it WILL be tried in the media. The prosecution already is, and the judge is not sanctioning them.
The “siege” was staged.

The Judge should have Sanctioned the Prosecutor and referred him to the BAR for Disciplinary review.
And this is whats wrong with our legal system, Government Employee’s allowing other Government Employee’s to be DISHONEST and CORRUPT
