the Vice President of the United States has gone on record citing this man as one of his biggest intellectual influences
if you didn't know this, it's probably because for some reason literally no mainstream political media outlets think it's worth mentioning
!["[A] prosecutor's exercise of coercive power must be impartial... [,] evenhanded ... L]
[and] applied without favoritism or bias ...." Zakhari, 85 F.4th at 385 (Kethledge, J., concurring).
Then-Attorney General Robert H. Jackson cautioned that when "the prosecutor picks some person
whom he dislikes or desires to embarrass, or selects some group of unpopular persons and then
looks for an offense, that [is] the greatest danger of abuse of prosecuting power ..." Robert H.
Jackson, The Federal Prosecutor, 31 J. Crim. L. & Criminology 3, 5 (1940). The evidence before
this Court sadly reflects an abuse of prosecuting power.
The Court does not reach its conclusion lightly. The objective evidence here shows that,
absent Abrego's successful lawsuit challenging his removal to El Salvador, the Government would
not have brought this prosecution. The Executive Branch closed its investigation on the November
2022 traffic stop. Only after Abrego succeeded in vindicating his rights did the Executive Branch
reopen that investigation. What the Government labels as "new evidence" was not new as a matter
of law. The prosecutor's subjective good faith does not cure the retaliatory taint. Absent Blanche's
tainted investigation, Agent Saoud would not have called McGuire, Singh would not have brought
him into the fold, and McGuire would not have sought an indictment against Abrego. The indictment then provided the Executive Branch cover to comply with Judge Xinis' order to facilitate Abrego's return to the United States as soon as possible.
Abrego's motion to dismiss the indictment must be granted.
An appropriate order will enter.
