She is now playing with fire, including the possibility of serious professional sanctions
Two sources familiar with the matter tell me prosecutors in the EDVA US attorney‘s office presented newly sworn US attorney Lindsey Halligan with a memo explaining why charges should not be brought against James Comey, because there isn’t enough evidence to establish probable cause a crime was committed, let alone enough to convince a jury to convict him.
Justice Department guidelines say a case should not be brought unless prosecutors believe it’s more likely than not that they can win a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt.
This detail was first reported by ABC News. EDVA declined to comment.
Forget the 10 minutes or 30 minutes. What’s the reasonable suspicion to keep him for five seconds in the first place? It certainly seems like walking while black. And this is now full-blown arrest without identification of charges. DC is under martial law.
Trump's troops detain a Black lawyer in D.C.—swarmed by 20 officers just for walking down the block.
Paul Bryant plans to press charges on those who assaulted him "in a way that I will not forget anytime soon."
He is a West Point graduate—and served as Infantry Officer in Army before starting his legal career.
Officers from the Metropolitan Police Department, FBI, and other federal agencies stopped him for no reason in Logan Circle, Washington D.C.
He was handcuffed for an hour while his vehicle was searched without permission. #DemsUnited
The classic Trump location. Try it yourself. “A lot of people are saying he’s the worst president of all time.” “A lot of people are saying he lies constantly.” “A lot of people are saying he’s an existential threat to the constitution.” See how easy?
Remarkable. Even one refusal is a surpassingly rare event. Two by same grand jury equals “get out of here with your stupid case.”
Federal prosecutors said today they went to a grand jury twice to indict a D.C. woman for assaulting an FBI agent during an arrest by ICE — and were twice rejected.
Notably, she faces the same charge as the District's alleged sandwich thrower.

There was no call. Not even a voicemail.
Americans should be alarmed that a President deploying Marines onto our streets doesn’t even know who he’s talking to.
We’ve missed her! Welcome back to @nbcsnl @CecilyStrong and Happy Mother’s Day!

Apparent resolution of the totally ugly stick them all in a room brutality
The dual themes of this carpetbombing: 1) they exceed the Pres's executive powers; & 2) they bring distress and suffering to Americans. Trump can order DOJ to support w/ the full force of the federal govt, and if he loses so what? & if people die in the meantime, so double what?

JUST IN: Judge Amy Berman Jackson — who sat in the courtroom during Trump's arraignment in Washington — becomes the latest federal judge to speak out on Jan. 6 pardons.
"Patriotism is loyalty to country and loyalty to the Constitution – not loyalty to a single head of state."
