Jokes aside, as you’re reading this, think about how many bogus cases have been brought forward under this administration. Then ask yourself how many of them might have had this exact same behavior in the grand jury process. This is bigger than our case, and the administration knows that.

Despite not going to trial, my life and the lives of my codefendants have been completely upturned, emotionally, professionally, and financially. We’re still picking up the pieces. But that’s the point. The process is the punishment. That can lead to securing indictments by any means necessary.
