Most States have a criminal statute covering “official oppression”
“Small-town Kansas paper was probing ‘Gestapo’ police chief over sex claims before he raided it”
Biden and his ‘Gestapo’ Attorney General did the same thing to Project Veritas.
If you are a small town in Kansas making headlines in The WaPo and the NYTimes, you’re likely to be in big trouble.
“Eric Meyer told The Handbasket substack his outlet had been contacted by Cody’s former colleagues about the claims of sexual misconduct, but that the six-plus anonymous sources ultimately never went on the record and reporters couldn’t obtain Cody’s personnel file.””
.
What they can publish is a Front page above the fold facial mug shot of every tough guy that conducted the raid and all others involved including the azzholes (Magistrate Judge Laura Viar) that created the illegal warrant.
Full name, area they live in, job designation, everything.
Let the town do the job on them.
No gas, no groceries, do not enter signs, whatever business the locals are running will have “You are not welcome and will not be served” signage with a copy of the front page of the paper.
The front page should look like a Wanted Poster.
Next edition rolls around they can put the mugshots up and down the left and right side of the front page.
Keep it up a few months until the local deputy dawgs have had enough and move out of the area.
“Never argue with a man who buys ink by the barrel.”
.
This is a ‘big deal’ A 98-year-old co-owner of the paper died due to stress caused by the illegal raid. This one will not pass easily.
Sounds like an episode of Mannix.

EM: We’ve gathered a lot of information. Deb, one of our reporters, has worked for weeks on this story. And we kind of didn’t get anywhere with it. We tried to alert the city through backdoor channels that they needed to really look at his employment record. They said, “oh, we have,” and we talked to the Kansas City, Missouri Police where he was from, and the Human Resources Department said, “no, nobody’s ever looked at his record.” Then two days later, somebody did look at it after they’d already told us they’d done so.
But the Kansas City Missouri Police HR Department told us, they [the city of Marion] asked specifically for only those things in which he [Cody] had been convicted and disciplinary action had been taken. And so that’s all they gave him. This action wasn’t completed. So that was where we kind of had to leave the story. They went ahead and hired him.
This is Gestapo tactics from World War II.”

It is. And any minute now,Garland and the DOJ will file 10-15 different federal charges against these bastards.
Oh, who am I kidding?
Proving their point.
Seven cops for seven trees.
A newspaper is covered in:
First Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Okay, we will do so.
The saddest part is that, even if the newspaper ultimately “wins” on this issue, the taxpayers will pay the costs involved for all of the lawyers, court costs, and financial judgments that ensue.
Lock all of them up and the judge that issued the warrant.
In America, a charge of murder #1 is sure to follow...

Well, now.
That's very interesting.
Apparently, the practice of covering up widespread sexual crimes is far more common, and far more widespread, than some people would have us believe.
If i were ruler they would hang in the town square, their bodies would be dipped in tar and hung from lamp posts at the edge of town until they rotted away.
No fan of the press but these idiots crossed the Rubicon and they did it because they see the illegal president and his thugs do the same thing nearly every day.
Was the chief getting free donuts, lunch, booze or something else at Newell's bar and grill?
As for the press, don't the sheeple need to know if their police chief is corrupt?
Back up off site, back up off site!
Granted that the State Police or other investigators should be able to recover the computer, and if it's been tampered with, more charges will follow.
This story, rather incomplete, was on our local news too. So it appears to be getting traction.
