This kind of discovery and cross examination is exactly why there have been ZERO courtroom trials in any of these hundreds of cases. Just pleadings to jaywalk charges.
I think you are right. I think they have been pursuing these in such a way to get people to be forced to plead, holding them for such long periods of time.
Furthermore, they have been pursuing charges in a way that gags certain people and puts them in a corner so there cannot be any crosstalk with OTHER defendants or attorneys.
This stinks. It makes me angrier and angrier with each passing day. I never, ever in a million years, thought I would see this kind of thing going on in the United States of America, political prisoners, being held for going on a year now (some of them) on charges that are the equivalent of trespassing or disturbing the peace.
While people who were real criminals, assaulting LEO personnel, lighting federal buildings on fire, if they are EVER arrested are simply let go. Hell, look at the Leftist criminal scumbags who did far, FAR worse at the Department of The Interior a few weeks ago, but...who heard of it? Who has been charged, not just arrested and let go? Maybe ONE person that I have heard of?
I am ashamed of it, as an American, and it is making me hopping mad.
