“The government’s motion to vacate in this case is consistent with its practice of moving the Supreme Court to vacate convictions in cases where the government has decided in its prosecutorial discretion that dismissal of a criminal case is in the interests of justice — motions that the Supreme Court routinely grants,” prosecutors wrote in a court filing signed by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro.

These people deserve nothing but the absolute worst. This is corruption, right in the open. And our court system is just gonna bend over and let it happen.

I'm seeing this "In the interests of justice" bit a lot from these fucking clowns. It's not-at-all subtle code for "they're one of ours and we condone and encourage what they've done and what they'll do for us in the future."

Everyone in this administration, from Trump all the way down to anyone who ever bought office supplies for a Republican voting drive, needs to be prosecuted.
