For "One First," I wrote about DOJ's unprecedented attempt to secretly strong-arm a widely respected district judge in the Cities Church protest case—and why everyone, especially other federal judges, should read Chief Judge Schiltz's two letters in response:

You cannot be punished by the state as a criminal without a prosecution. at trial (IF trial), innocence is presumed and guilt needs to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. It does not follow that ordinary citizens can’t make their own judgments about whether a crime was committed.
