Milwaukee -Richterin Hannah Dugan, angeklagt von der Grand Jury der Bundeserei

No one is above the law.

I wonder how many of the ~20 grand jurors voted true bill … and whether this will be dismissed as fast as the case against the Massachusetts judge indicted in 2019.

Another reason to say fuck you Wisconsin.

MAGA grand jury I’d wager

You all will be able to say you witnessed the born of the American Reich.

She didn’t even do anything to stop them from arresting the suspect. She acted to keep her courtroom from becoming the zone of a melee during an arrest that was going to happen. She acted to protect the sanctity of her courtroom so suspects and others attending hearings would not be scared to enter and attend hearings. She directed the man to a side door that leads directly into the exact same hallway the officers were waiting in so they couldn’t make a show in the main entrance of her courtroom. She was protecting the court’s independence.

This isn’t big news.

As the saying goes a grand jury can indict a ham sandwich.

She should run for president. You can avoid punishment that way.

We going to do anything? Nope? Just march on the sidewalks and leave when our permit is up? Cool. See you all in the work camps. We’re cattle, and they know it

I’m curious what her defense to the charge will be. I suspect she’ll argue that she didn’t actually assist him, or she didn’t have intent to assist him. I’m not sure what other defense she could have. She absolutely was outside of her authority in doing what she did. No other issues matter. No political issues matter.

Ever wondered what you’d do in 1933? Now’s your time to shine

A grand jury will indict a ham sandwich

Obligatory “a grand jury will indict a ham sandwich” statement. Recall that grand juries do not hear from the defense. They only hear the prosecution’s case.

Have any of you even actually read the indictment for this judge? She (allegedly) tried to distract 6 federal agents from 3 different agencies so she could sneak out someone from the courthouse who was at court for domestic violence. Flores-Ruiz was originally here legally, his visa expired, he was served with paperwork to leave the country or apply for a renewal, and he didn’t. The agents were all within the normal duties of their jobs, the court bailiffs were all okay with the arrest, the chief judge was okay with the arrest, and Judge Drugan took it upon herself to allegedly break the law to hide this guy and rob the victims, who were there to testify against him, of their justice. There are plenty of hills to die on against Trump (and I stand proudly on all of those), but this isn’t one of them. Even Flores-Ruiz’s defense attorney wasn’t made aware that Judge Drugan skipped several cases to get Flores-Ruiz out of the court room.

Federal Grand Jury indictment just means that a group of people feel there is enough evidence to have a trial. That’s it. This doesn’t mean that anyone thinks Dugan is guilty.

Is that fascist enough yet for you America? No? Ok. The beating will continue until further notice.
