I think Double Jeopardy is for trials, not charges brought. You can't be tried more than once for the same charges, but the charges can be dropped and re-filed prior to trial.
Anyone who is surprised by this lives in a fantasy world.
An early clue was Waco. You're absolutely correct. The U.S. government has been essentially a Banana Republic for decades.
I wonder why that would be?
Poetic justice would be someone out on this no-bail law who kills the commie gov’s boyfriend or husband. Maybe even him.
The Deep State will make sure these charges drop again.
There are guns to ban, donchya know!
Blood on his hands.
Maybe not now, but soon.

They are free to kill and teach others to kill. Too bad the judge will be safe.
When does a federal judge come in to deal with terrorists? Is this the Bonney and Clyde era where you can jump state borders to escape criminal charges?
Amen !
Terrorists on the loose equals big bucks for the anti-terrorism bureaucracy.
This is not that difficult to figure out, people.
NJ is going further down the drain, too with Governor Goofball.
What Alex Jones has been saying doesn’t sound so nuts anymore.
Here is the relevant rule:
5-302. Preliminary examination.
A. Time.
(1) Time limits.
A preliminary examination shall be held within a reasonable time but in any event not later than ten (10) days after the first appearance if the defendant is in
custody and no later than sixty (60) days after the first appearance if the defendant is not in custody.
(2) Extensions.
Upon a showing of good cause, the court may extend the
time limits for holding a preliminary examination for up to sixty (60) days. If the defendant does not consent, the court may extend the time limits in Subparagraph (A)(1) of this rule only upon a showing that extraordinary circumstances exist and justice requires the delay. The time enlargement provisions in Rule 5-104 do not apply to a preliminary examination.
(3) Dismissal without prejudice.
If a preliminary examination is not held within the time limits in this rule, the court shall dismiss the case without prejudice and discharge the defendant.
Notice that dismissal is without prejudice. These charges can be brought again.
See 5-302, dismissal is without prejudice. They absolutely can bring the charges back.
You are a bout 25+ years late in coming to that conclusion. The Weaver Standoff and murder of Mrs. Weaver at the hands of a FIB assassin, without that worthy even being charged with manslaughter or fired from his job as FIB hitman, told me all I needed to know about the “rule of law” in our nation.
I am not entirely sure this can be pinned on the judiciary. I would lay the blame at whomever was supposed to arraign the suspects.
The rule this judge followed is there to protect all of us.
Well.. It’s common knowledge the Deep State Scumbags have been destroying America for decades.. incrementally. Their tentacles are in so deep they don’t care that we know what they’re doing.. At this point they believe they are invincible. They really are possessed.. Just look at photos of Strzok again. That is the face of pure Evil.

No I’m not! I said I argued with a guy last week. I didn’t say I had a friggin’ epiphany! When Vicki Weaver was murdered, I knew that the civil war was inevitable from that point.
