This is the “four seasons total landscaping” of prosecutions. Except here, there will most certainly be lasting professional consequences, if not criminal.

Hey #Charlotte, you’re all gonna feel really helpless in the coming weeks as you see videos of ICE brutalizing your community.
One thing you can do to help is contact your local food pantry and see if they need drivers to make deliveries for those in need who are afraid to leave their homes.

4. But that second indictment was never presented to or voted on by the grand jury
Instead, the foreperson and Halligan signed it, and it was handed up in open court.
The result is that the operative indictment in the Comey case is one that the grand jury did not actually vote on.

This *entire* episode is all of the evidence anyone should ever need, regardless of their politics, for why it's important to have experienced career officials in key government positions (like U.S. Attorney), rather than partisan cronies (unlawfully) appointed solely to do the President's bidding.
The facts are complicated, but here’s a summary of what appears to have happened based on the filings and today’s hearing:
NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court.
Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution

The revelations about the economist’s attempts to pressure a women into a “relationship”—with guidance from Jeffrey Epstein—should finally disqualify him from teaching students.

"Things happen" sometimes, like when you walk into an embassy to apply for your marriage license while your bride-to-be waits outside, but then you get bonesawed to pieces for having exercised freedom of speech as an US-based journalist and have to be carried out in a series of suitcases.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
