A decision on whether or not members of a New Mexico gun dealer family will get a new trial on charges of lying on federal firearm purchase forms could happen as early as this week, Las Cruces Sun-News reported yesterday. Judge Robert C. Brack of the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico indicated in yesterday’s hearing that he will make his decision “soon” following a day of testimony that revealed the extent of corruption a key law enforcement witness against the Reese family was under investigation for – a fact the prosecution withheld from the defense and the jury when it was asked to decide whose testimony during the trial was credible.

Utilizer, don’t be trapped by your own “Big Name Media” normalcy bias. This should and would be a national “Big Name Media” story if it was not the story of honest gun dealers being legally crucified by the same bunch that pulled Fast and Furious at the same time and place, and escaped even a wrist slap.
It’s just not being covereed by the national media, we have to make up the gap, until Hannity or Rush or somebody picks it up.
Sometimes, it’s really news, even before Drudge or The Blaze sniffs it out.
Open up your mind a tad.
Exactly. He’s waiting for the NYT to write the confirming story. Right after they cover “Fast and Furious” and the Benghazi weapons to Al Qaeda story.
Well, how are trials closed to the public even constitutional?
The 6th says "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial"...
I suppose that’s filed under “National Security” in the footnotes of one of the Patriot Acts.
Funny name, Patriot Act.
If you have not been following the legal crucifixion of the Reese family of NM by the full might of the fedgov, you should read about it. This is a good place to jump in, please.
The Reeses are all of us. This has clearly become a test case. If the fedgov and their willing accomplices in the MSM Quisling media can be kept off of a story like this, then the same tactics will be used in every state, with no fear of pushback.
So we need to push back on the Reese case. Learn about their case, spread the word on patriotic forums. If we can’t stop this corrupt “legal” crucifixion in NM, we’ll never stop it later, when we are their targets.
. . . . Ping.
Thanks, Travis McGee.
Worts miscarriage of Justice in the last 40 years.
Not only should all charges be dropped this family should be made whole.
They should be paid back for every nickel they lost plus punitive awards.
I know this has probably been done, but I’ve never seen it referenced in any of the Reese stories I have seen. Has anyone contacted Steve Pearce, NM District 2 congressman, over this blatant abuse?
Travis we are already the targets, they only only just starting to get the ball rolling, and the republican leadership is in bed with them.
Mate, I’ve no love for the lamestream media at all, but any information pulled from a website that puts out ‘stories’ like the “9-11” truther garbage and “NASA caught deleting UFO photos from its website” claims automatically sets off all manner of alarm bells as far as I am concerned. If you can locate some other, more credible sources for your posting then I am more than happy to listen.
Probably not to that stage yet. First would be an expensive lunch, paid for by an expensively-dressed man or woman from a prestigious Beltway law firm with connections all over. The judge will be apprised of the wide array of "plata o plomo" offers he may be able to choose from. Depending on his performance and the eventual outcome, he can expect greased skids just short of the Supreme Court, or a corner office with a no-show job in a prestige law firm or "consulting firm".
If needed, someone can make a follow-up visit to go into more details of the "plomo" options. That will probably happen in an armored black Chevy Suburban, rather than a ritzy restaurant. Bottled water may be offered.
Then look here then. The Las Cruces Sun-News which appears to be an "approved" news organ.
Sounds like a conspiracy to deprive the Reeses of a fair trial—a Civil Right—on the part of the Prosecution team. And a felony.
Better link. My thanks for the reference.
Not flamin' likely. If the Slimes was saying it were raining, I'd bloody well duck quick-like and have a fast lookabout to see who were peein' on us. That being said, the referenced website displays no credibility whatsoever even upon a deep look at it as far as I can determine.
Thanks for the ping; post. Placemark BUMP for tomorrow read.

Yeah, I can see it playing that way. Plomo o plata. Nothing new in Nuevo Mejico. That border crossed us again, the other way.
That article in the LCSN is a total whitewash, from the POV of the chagrined KGB which has been trapped in its own web of lies. The article is a response to the 5 part reportage of the actual courtroom testimony and actions, that reporting which took the region by surprise when it transpired that the actual courtroom drama was making it out of the jurisdiction, news-wise, in spite of the MSM embargo.
So the real praise is due to that citizen reporter who trascribed all of that testimony, and had it placed in a blog. So what? If you wait for “real” newspapers to cover it, likely as not, they will be part of the whitewash crew, the loyal MSM.
Doesn’t it tell you something, that the “official state media” in that paper is reacting like a scalded cat to what the citizen reporter transmitted by the power of a mere blog? If not for the original citizen reporter, there would be no story here at all, which would be only one small step from just holding the hearing in camera, as the .gov wanted.
If a tree falls in the forest.
If a citizen reporter is in the courtroom.
Etc.
United States Code, 18 USC §section 241 - Conspiracy against rights
but I am still unclear about WHO can bring such a case.
Maybe Abundy can provide some insight.
And then we runt into that 'interesting' (read: diabolical) phenomena where normal acts of a legislature are considered superior to the Constitution which gives them authority. -- "Funny" how things like "judicial review" and "precedence" seem to always favor tyranny.
