In a letter shared with MS Now, House Judiciary Committee ranking Dem Jamie Raskin writes to Alabama Middle District US Attorney Kevin Davidson he’s hearing from a Justice Department whistleblower that “Associate Deputy Attorney General Aakash Singh ordered your office, the US Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Alabama, to rush through the indictment of the [Southern Poverty Law Center], despite serious concerns about the strength of the case,” and that “DOJ’s exercise in gaslighting-by-indictment also requires America to bury its head in the sand and pretend SPLC’s payments to infiltrate white nationalist groups were meant to support them, despite evidence to the contrary presented in its charging document,” for the politically-motivated indictment.
That rascally Raskin, undermining the regime’s already weak case by making this letter public and therefore citable in the SPLC’s motions to dismiss on grounds of prosecutorial misconduct.
On the other side, one would think that, considering Todd Blanche was literally Trump’s criminal defense lawyer (who lost the only trial Donald faced), that he would have internalized maybe some of the lessons from the implosion of Fulton County DA Fani Willis’s case after her removal as prosecuting attorney, that maybe if he doesn’t want to set the Orange Allah and his bloodthirsty death cult up for disappointment then maybe he should heed some of those lessons and not commit unforced errors like this. Now let’s not COMPLETELY rule out that Blanche is a more competent tactician and that, of course the SPLC and Comey cases are bullshit, but they’re simply buying him time and grace before he really brings an actually serious and effective case against a higher-profile target. That none of the incels will care when Comey’s case gets dismissed because it happens the morning after Bill and Hillary Clinton were denied bail on their 125-count wire fraud indictment.
Until then it’d still seem more likely that Blanche gets invited to join Pam Bondi, Bill Barr, and Jeff Sessions for a few drinks at a low-key watering hole in DC around June or July of 2027.
