First of all, the prosecutor was Emil Bove, a Trump ally who just got rewarded with a lifetime appointment as a federal judge.
Second of all, he's now saying he didn't know anything about it and relied on what "people said" (Christ) but just ten days ago he was claiming he'd pored over the records.

💰SCOOP: Hungary is in advanced talks with Russia on a plan to bypass US sanctions on Serbia’s mostly Russian-owned NIS oil firm by having a Hungarian firm buy shares. My sources say this is foreign minister Péter Szijjártó’s main topic at today’s Moscow trip—just 11 days after Orbán's Kremlin visit.

Corporations now own 1 in 11 residential parcels in urban areas—and more than 20% in some communities. That consolidation is leaving lower-income families at the mercy of absentee landlords with little stake in local well-being.

The headlines on Slaughter are all about SCOTUS giving their pet more power.
Sure, that's accurate. But it is, specifically, about gutting consumer protection.

Jared Kushner's involvement was "not mentioned in Paramount's press release on Monday morning about its $108 billion bid, nor were participating sovereign wealth funds from Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and Qatar."

The Supreme Court majority has decided that they are the fact-finders, and the facts are what they want them to be, and quite frankly if District Courts disagree, they can pound sand because they're not the ones in charge.
They're right about the last part. But the damage they're doing is longterm.
