Caza de brujas, el siguiente paso para la autoproclamación de faraón.

Kerkhoff and the entire US Attorney's office got sanctioned by DC's Chief Judge in 2018 after proof surfaced that they had illegally altered undercover videos taken at protest planning meetings before providing those videos to the court: https://unicornriot.ninja/2018/prosecutors-illegally-withheld-evidence-from-trump-inauguration-protesters-judge-finds/

Anarchists & antifascists held a militant anti-capitalist march to resist the start of Trump's first term, w some marchers fighting police & destroying property.

Starbucks & Bank of America locations and a limousine were among the casualties that day: https://unicornriot.ninja/2017/no-peaceful-transition-trump-thousands-disruptj20-washington-d-c-inauguration-day/

DC police trapped as much of the group as they could, and everyone present was hit with mass felony charges - the case against #J20 demonstrators was based almost entirely on conspiracy & "mere presence", w most defendants not accused of specific criminal acts: https://unicornriot.ninja/2017/protesters-face-80-years-us-attorney-brings-unprecedented-mass-felony-charges/

Kerkhoff's ethics trial re: #J20 prosecution is getting underway now after a procedural delay - catch the stream at top of thread!

DC Bar Office of Disciplinary Counsel Sean O'Brien is outlining the events on Jan. 20, 2017.

"They kettled the protesters...many from the crowd fled the scene including approx 70 people.. broke through the police line and were able to escape.... the police arrested the remaining 230+..."

"Individuals arrested were charged under the theory that the crowd was acting as a unit... everyone... was helping to facilitate the violence and destruction... Ms. Kerkoff charged...all... with felony riot..."

They should have been locked up. Why are you putting your support behind inserectionists with no understanding of how government works and no respect for what has worked well for many years?

These were not the January 6 insurrectionists. These were people protesting Trump's first inauguration.

maybfoggy.bsky.social•22 hours ago

Thank you. I was indeed confused. I appreciate you taking the time to correct me.

It's an easy mistake to make.

Most of these defendants were as guilty of their “mass felony” as a bystander to a killing is guilty of accessory to murder.

Should someone have been punished? Probably. But one doesn’t kettle protests then charge everyone with everything that happened with no proof any of them individually did it.

More like Jerkhoff IMO

all these Trumpist goons need to be disbarred

I hope she’s not only disbarred, but held criminally accountable for her actions as well!

catznjam.bsky.social•1 day ago

I hope she does get disbarred - watch for interference!! This needs to get out there pronto!! What an asshole! And that's one of the most egregious assaults I've ever seen on the First Amendment!

Prosecutor who sought sentences for inauguration protesters faces ethical reckoning justice's delayed symmetry. Nothing reveals our legal system's moral core quite like watching accountability finally reach those who weaponized law against dissent. Even systems of power occasionally self-correct.
