In short: Even though the court ordered discovery based on the likelihood of vindictive and selective prosecution, we don't even need to get into it and you should dismiss the charges now given we just learned the DOJ lied to a judge about Costa Rica not accepting Mr. Abrego.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia's lawyers inform a federal judge about the Washington Post's bombshell: The government's claim that Costa Rica will no longer accept Abrego has been exposed as a lie.
More evidence—"if any were needed"—of vindictive prosecution.

I wonder if the DoJ is gonna try to pass this off as having tried to release the Epstein files. This represents about 76 pages of testimony from one FBI official.
JUST IN: DOJ makes a new attempt to unseal all Epstein grand jury records in Florida, saying the law newly signed by Trump overrides grand jury secrecy laws.

Media outlets who refuse to describe in plain terms what the president did because they find it objectionable are lying to their audiences and running cover for the president. It's as simple as that.
The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

Tommy Robinson was once a far-right troll and loser - always dangerous, but still on the fringe. He's a criminal and a liar. He was aligned with Islamophobes once discarded by the right wing over a decade ago.
Now?
He's mainstream conservative politics in Europe and supported by Musk.

Through all his troubles, neither the DOJ/FBI nor any state authorities ever subjected Donald Trump to arrest, preferring in every case to proceed by indictment and voluntary surrender. It’s notable that a sitting judge and pillar of the Milwaukee community was not extended the same courtesy.

This is the truth. Republicans could put an immediate end to this insanity. They own this.
Republicans in Congress can repeal every tariff tomorrow and take Trump’s tariff authority away from him. But they choose not to. So every Republican in Congress owns EVERY SINGLE BIT of this. You can’t hide from the voters forever.
