NEWS The SPLC demans a hearing to determine whether a judge should sanction prosecutors for allegedly violating grand jury secrecy by sending a draft of the superseding indictment to the press before it was docketed. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
As the Court remarked earlier this week, “[a]ll attorneys, as ‘officers of the
court,’ owe duties of complete candor and primary loyalty to the court before which
they practice.” ECF 50 (Order) at 4 (quoting Malautea v. Suzuki Motor Co., 987 F.2d 1536, 1546–47 (11th Cir. 1993)). That duty of candor is more important than ever now considering what occurred last night, particularly on the heels of the Acting Attorney General’s false statement and other egregious statements by high ranking Administration officials detailed in the SPLC’s prior motions. In light of the
apparent breaches of grand jury secrecy and proper DOJ practice, the SPLC respectfully asks the Court to issue an Order requiring DOJ and the USAO to show cause explaining its conduct and why it should not be sanctioned considering the prejudicial consequences at stake here.

WOW. So Blanche won't rescind the tax immunity. Was the entire charade just a cover to grant Trump tax immunity? Blanche claims that part of the "settlement" still stands. This is somehow MORE CORRUPT.

Enrique Tarrio deserves $10-15 million—since he wasn’t at the Capitol on J6. 

The federal government abused him.

Kept him in solitary confinement for years.

Refused to take him to civil court—resulting in a $3 million judgement being placed against him.
