So, a senior Justice Department official — along with several members of Congress — used the authority of their offices to boost an obviously dubious conspiracy theory accusing a federal employee of a horrific crime.
And now it’s clear the allegation was baseless.

How an innocent woman's name was tied to the Jan. 6 pipe bombs
The FBI has ruled the woman out as a suspect in the 2021 plot, sources said, but only after her name circulated on social platforms and a conservative news site.

Mark Kelly knows exactly what political violence looks like. The fact that the Pentagon is investigating him for urging troops to refuse illegal orders, even as Trump calls for political enemies to be punished, shows how dangerous this administration has become.
Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

Excellent o(pi)nion piece by @barbmcquade.bsky.social. It thoroughly digests the dispositive legal and factual issues, and tastefully establishes why the case had no meat to it, and why the jury didn't swallow it. It's a must(ard)-read.
Sandwich verdict wasn’t jury nullification. It was failure to prove the required “reasonable fear of physical injury” in a case where the agent was wearing A BULLETPROOF VEST. The only crime was the waste of resources on this case. My thoughts in @MSNBCDaily.

To establish a forcible assault, jurors were required to find that Dunn caused “reasonable apprehension of immediate bodily harm.” That allegation was laughable.
