Take a deep breath before reading the below article, which leaves only the question, why did they do that?:
D.C. Superior Court Chief Judge Robert Morin found that prosecutors with the U.S. Attorneys Office for the District of Columbia, which is part of the Justice Department, had committed Brady violations by withholding undercover videos that James OKeefes Project Veritas had turned over to the government.
It really sounds like you have some overzealous prosecutors that not only overcharged people but then withheld evidence.
Overcharging is hard to blame on underlings where withholding evidence might be.
Falling on their own sword for a reverse psychology psyops to make the right look bad seems unlikely too.
It kinds of sounds like overzealous incompetence.
