Siebert had been pressured by Trump officials to bring bogus charges against NY AG Letitia James. Siebert did not find evidence to bring those charges.

The problem with figures like RFK Jr. isn’t just that they spread bad information. It’s that they sustain disordered counterpublics, spaces where falsehoods are reinforced through imitation of legitimate democratic processes.

What can be done with RFK Jr.'s aggressive ignorance?

Remember when we found out that Clarence Thomas was owned by a southern billionaire named Harlan Crow who collects Nazi and other authoritarian memorabilia? I just thought of that again for some reason.

Note that sandwich guy was charged via criminal complaint, not indictment.
For now, that allows the government to initiate the case & arrest him.
But DOJ will eventually have to seek an indictment by grand jury.
He’s charged w/ a felony & the 5th Amendment requires indictment by GJ in such cases.

BREAKING: 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.
