though, by the court's own discussion of the §3288 issue re: the original indictment, I'm still not 100% clear that section's grace period would apply if the initial indictment was, as the court said, "void."
![a screenshot from the dismissal order pp. 26-27
in relevant part, "Generally, “[t]he return of an indictment tolls the statute of limitations on the charges
contained in the indictment.” United States v. Ojedokun, 16 F.4th 1091, 1109 (4th Cir. 2021). “An
invalid indictment,” however, “cannot serve to block the door of limitations as it swings closed.”
United States v. Crysopt Corp., 781 F. Supp. 375, 378 (D. Md. 1991) (emphasis in original); see
also United States v. Gillespie, 666 F. Supp. 1137, 1141 (N.D. Ill. 1987) (“[A] valid indictment
insulates from statute-of-limitations problems any refiling of the same charges during the
pendency of that valid indictment (that is, the superseding of a valid indictment). But if the earlier
indictment is void, there is no legitimate peg on which to hang such a judicial limitations-tolling
result.” (emphasis in original)"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:a4n6zqm2ufqrdbyszo5gvgyq/bafkreidfai55orlhyvzdnp7klnwnpnpeizrzm2murb3gdgks2ayppugpui@jpeg)

if your moderation team bans someone for a harmless unactionable exclamation of disgust, but permits a govt account to say stuff like this,
