DC US Attorney had to go to the grand jury eventually...
The judge, who complained about how Allen was being treated, will not be the judge in his trial after all...
Good to hear that Un-American, Pro-Disruption Judge is out.
Was it just random good fortune for logic, or did someone decide to ‘weed’ that biased judge out of the equation?
The first judge is a Magistrate judge. He is a gopher for Article 3 judges.
Is that all assault on a fed 0fficer,,
That is most blm
And anytifa
Attempt on my President, now that’s fighting doings.
Shoot the bastard.
Why not attempted murder?
If indicted, a DC jury will not find him guilty. Juror pool there has too many (perhaps all) in it that think his actions were justified.
