California Judge Orders Video Journalists to Pay $13.6 M to Planned Parenthood
Breitbart ^ | 12/24/2020 | Dr. Susan Berry

A federal judge in California ordered the video journalists who exposed Planned Parenthood’s practices in the harvesting and sales of aborted baby body parts to pay the abortion giant $13.6 million to cover its legal costs in its case against them.

On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge William Orrick III ordered David Daleiden and his associates at Center for Medical Progress (CMP) to pay $13.6 million over the $2 million in damages they were ordered to pay last year for recording the abortion vendor’s officials while they discussed how they harvest the fetal tissue for sale.

In November 2019, a jury found the pro-life journalists violated the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), causing significant harm to Planned Parenthood with its video series, and awarded the punitive damages to the abortion provider.

Orrick, Daleiden told SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight soon afterward, “is actually the founder of a Planned Parenthood of Northern California clinic in San Francisco.”

He added what he and his legal team discovered about the relationship between Orrick and high-level Democrats:

Daleiden and his attorneys unsuccessfully attempted to get Orrick recused from the case several times.

The judge blocked the jury from viewing all the undercover video he produced during his undercover investigation, Daleiden said.

The world truly is upside down. Those who expose criminal wrongdoing are harshly punished, while those breaking all rules of human decency and basic morality are rewarded.

So RICO prosecutions still do happen! Seems odd that no one in the District of Criminals ever gets charged with it! /s

Can that Federal Judge really un-ring that bell? The people should thank Project Veratas for clearing up Planned Parenthood's sale of baby parts.

"[WESTCHESTER, N.Y. – Dec. 1, 2020] Project Veritas released (new tapes today) of CNN’s 9 a.m. rundown calls that have been recorded for months, which expose CNN president Jeff Zucker and several other CNN executives expressing their political biases against people and groups that oppose the network’s political agenda.

All built on the 17th Amendment...

The uniparty controls the Senate due to the 17th Amendment, thus the judiciary reflects this as well..

Bible verse regarding this situation:

Isaiah 5:20 ¶ Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

The Bible says, in Isaiah 5:20, Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.
Eventually, they will get theirs. Not as quickly as we would like, but they WILL.

the “judge” KNOWINGLY is murdering children
from his bench. KNOWINGLY making him a murderous BLACKROBE.

Commie California could not care about murder, HATE CRIME,
or the Constitution, and will NOTHING.
