The dismissal of the DOJ case against David Hearn for vandalizing
the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool came after Hearn’s lawyers
received transcripts of the grand jury proceeding that led to the
indictment, Lawyers told the court that there were irregularities
that “call into question whether the grand jury was misled,”
The DOJ has been caught misleading other grand juries or
committing misconduct in getting indictments, Judges across the
country are calling out lawyers for the DOJ, calling their
behavior “unlawful” among other things, The DOJ is being turned
into an instrument of Trump’s political wrath, That can be seen
in the fight over the confirmation of Todd Blanche to be attorney
general, Blanche has flouted the law to do Trump’s bidding,
Blanche has secured indictments against Trump’s perceived
enemies, such as James Comey, He has backed the deal to establish
a slush fund to pay Trump’s allies, and the move to agree that no
claims will be made against Trump, his family, or the Trump
Organization, Blanche’s confirmation is being held up by senators
who have asked for assurance that the slush fund/nonprosecution
deal is dead, but Trump has thrown a wrench into the process by
declaring that he will push for its implementation.
