The Broadview 6 case of Prosecutorial Misconduct illustrates the Coming Fascist Escalation

The latest 15 patriots arrested by the
Fascist Criminal Trump administration

One of the cute tricks Republicans have mastered is to constantly rotate their cast of secondary fascists so when one becomes enough of a liability (I know that hardly seems possible in the current Trumpublican Party) a new one is elevated and the criminality continues without interruption.

Gregory Bovino is gone but Tom Homan issues the same pronouncements.  Krisiti Noem has disappeared into the vat of filler she uses for her face but, Secret Agent Mark Wayne is ready to commit the same crimes.  

There is a seemingly endless parade of these low-light conservative thugs and traitors available for the Republican Party to elevate above their head who then take it upon themselves to issue all manner of illegal orders, unlawful edicts, and immoral or unethical memorandum.

But, more disconcerting than these high-profile, made for rightwing tv fascists are the everyday bureaucrats and seemingly hard-working non-partisan officials who so willing or so easily allow themselves to slip into authoritarian mindset and set aside their ethical guidelines and abuse their authority without prompting, prodding, or provocation.

The Broadview 6 case clearly illustrates how ready some Americans are to get in line, just follow orders (even ones they know are unethical or outright illegal), to curry favor, and abet fascism;

Lawyers for the “Broadview Six” late Tuesday asked a federal judge to appoint special counsel to investigate alleged wrongdoing by the U.S. Attorney’s Office — and possibly prosecute for contempt of court.

The 33-page motion said the investigation should focus on prosecutors’ conduct “during the grand jury proceedings and the ensuing cover-up before this court” and should include everyone who touched the case, including U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros, his top deputies, and his supervisors at the Department of Justice.

“Indeed, these steps must be taken in large part because of what appears to be a determined effort to blame a single prosecutor when the misconduct now known…runs much deeper and indeed to the highest levels of the Chicago U.S. Attorney’s Office and likely to the Department of Justice in Washington D.C.,” the motion stated.

The motion warned U.S. District Judge April Perry that if a special prosecutor was not able to dig deeper, blame for the collapse of the Broadview Six case would be laid on a single scapegoat, Assistant U.S. Attorney Sheri Mecklenburg, which would be “a convenient outcome for those who are eager to turn the page.”

As a police officer I testified before a Grand Jury several times, I can not imagine a State's Attorney wantonly or willfully giving false or misleading instructions to the Grand Jury or trying to engage in legerdemain of telling the Grand Jurors, 'Trust me Bro!'  But, as detailed by the lawyers for innocent Broadview 6 this wasn't just some individual rogue "bad apple" but a coordinated, and far-reaching conspiracy.

This is far from the only incident of prosecutorial misconduct, most of which have fortunately been stopped by judges willing to buck the fascist tide and rule against the State.  Of course, consistent defeats in court haven't stopped the Traitor trump underlings from pushing to make splashy arrests knowing their brainwashed white maga drones equate arrest with absolute guilt (unless the arrestee is a Jan6er or elected Republican pedophile).

It isn't called "Facebook" anymore, it's Meta and
since the US Government got the terminology wrong
their argument is invalid.

Therefore, in order to muddy the waters about the illegal actions by Department of Justice across the Nation but, especially in Minnesota, which resulted in the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti as well as countless constitutional violations and unlawful acts under the color of law, the treasonous Republican Department of Homeland Terrorism arrested 15 apparent members of the Direct Action Minnesota alleging their Facebook posts, statements, and meetings constituted a conspiracy.

Prosecutors say the 15 are members and associates of the protest group Direct Action Minnesota, which they describe as an antifa — or antifascist — affinity group. Antifa is an umbrella term describing any far-left-leaning militant groups and is not a singular entity. They consist of groups that resist fascists and neo-Nazis, especially at demonstrations. 

The indictment itself does not allege any specific acts of violence. Rosen said that whether or not they caused bodily harm isn’t the measure of whether they committed a serious crime.  

He played video from Kyle Wagner where he allegedly said, “we’re not talking about peaceful protest anymore” and urged people to “get your f---ing guns and stop these f---ing people.”

Eternal Vigilance wasn't just a catchy phrase by Thomas Jefferson because understand the treasonous and increasingly unlawful Republican Party sees no reason not to use the Department of Injustice to torment, harass, and arrest political opposition just as their ICE goons engage in wanton unlawful use of force and unconstitutional searches and seizures.

Understand this is happening because almost every Republicans today believes they will suffer no repercussions for engaging in criminality.  I hope they are wrong and enough Americans have the stomach to make them pay for what they've done.
