this is a truly preposterous argument. under this theory, if a grand jury indicted on one count and no-billed another, the government could just file a superseding indictment to add the no-billed count back in. it makes NO sense.

Anna Bower@annabower.bsky.social

MJ: So to be clear your view is that a superseding indictment could be filed adding new charges, and there's no requirement for probable cause, unless an arrest warrant is being sought? DOJ: Yes

the alaska supreme court decided this months ago, and waiting to bring this now is (1) sanctionably frivolous even before getting to the merits; and (2) clearly meant to make a run at causing a complete electoral meltdown

imagine learning that someone you knew was estranged from her mother and had been for years. imagine learning that estrangement came about because her mother defended her rapist. now imagine deciding that you would reopen that wound in front of 300 million people for political gain.

this was potentially a persuasive message in resposne to the bombing of pearl harbor. it is not persuasive in response to (1) a war no one was asking for; (2) months of insisting gas prices were NOT rising or that any rise was temporary; and (3) a series of easily disprovable lies about progress
