I think they know what you said is true, but they are trying to intimidate the defendants into a “plea bargain” to make this go away.

If this goes to trial, which I doubt it actually will, it will take many years to actually try the 106 already indicted.

I’m ashamed this is happening in Texas. I doubt this is typical of Texas legal procedure.

And “trial by jury” is based on a jury of local peers. Not a charge by the local DA.

There is an outside agenda behind this. I believe it is about expanding and using this approach to go after groups of people who might oppose the Left’s grand schemes from here. It has Loretta Lynch’s M.O. fingerprints all over it.

Typical or not (and I submit that mass indictment of 100+ people for the same crime is not typical, anywhere), the Texas courts are agreeing with and supporting the DA. 100% of the times the complaint was challenged, the courts found that it contained probable cause specific enough to the accused. I predict that the Texas courts will find the indictment sufficient, too.

In other words, Texas courts endorse leveling of charges with less than necessary specificity, and intimidation of innocent people to cop a plea in order to extract themselves from Texas legal process.
