In Nov, a federal #jury found Brett Hankison, the #Louisville #police officer, #guilty of violating #BreonnaTaylor’s #CivilRights during a March 2020 police raid in which she was fatally shot, becoming the first officer directly involved in the case to be convicted on #criminal charges.
Hankison faced a maximum sentence of life in prison.
Dhillon’s memo says the #DOJ *respects* the jury’s verdict & that the conviction means Hankison will probably never be able to serve as a police officer or own a firearm. [unless of course #Trump pardons him]
The #Trump#DOJ requested that a #Louisville police officer #convicted in connection with a raid that resulted in #BreonnaTaylor’s death serve just one day in prison. In an unusual sentencing memo, the #FederalGovernment suggested to a #judge that the #Biden admin should not have prosecuted the officer on #CivilRights charges.
Breaking with standard protocol, the memo was not signed by any career prosecutors but by Robert J. Keenan, a senior counsel to the #CivilRights division who was not part of the original prosecution team, & Harmeet Dhillon, the head of the division who was appointed under the #Trump admin.

Tim Weiner: "Ideology is the enemy of intelligence. You've got a guy running the #CIA, John Ratcliffe, who will tell Trump anything #Trump wants to hear. You've got a rank amateur running the #Pentagon. You've got a conspiracy theorist as director of national intelligence, and you've got an FBI director who is actively dismantling the National Security and counterintelligence directorates at the FBI."
Maybe Trump is stalling while his apparatchiks -- that is, Trump's new Deep State, destroy existing Epstein evidence and then forge documents and videos to "prove" that he's being framed by the old Deep State.
Whatever's up, he sure seems to be in a panic about it.
What if, instead of Trump being incriminated in the Epstein evidence, Trump had been collaborating with Epstein, (and Maxwell), and was using the evidence to leverage support from others.
He doesn't want the evidence released as he would then lose that leverage.
"MAGA didn’t just vote. They believed. They gave up family, friends, jobs—everything—all for the cause. And now, they’re left wondering: were we just pawns in someone else’s game? In someone else’s lie? Do they think we are stupid?"

"Patients and medical centers are already feeling the pain as several provisions in the GOP’s deadly spending law take immediate effect, either as required or in practice. ...
Hospitals are closing or actively considering doing so, cutting programs, and laying off staff."

"Planned Parenthood is warning patients it can no longer accept Medicaid insurance & in one region says it can’t provide services to Medicaid recipients at all, even if the patient doesn’t use Medicaid to pay. And lawmakers in at least five states are planning special sessions to revamp their already-enacted budgets & determine how to handle the cuts, including what cuts they should enact and how to administer the new Medicaid work requirement."
"The United Church of Christ passed a resolution at its General Synod in the US this week denouncing what it called 'domestic terrorism' by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and accusing the Trump administration of weaponising the Constitution."

"The measure was approved by a vote of 627-8, with one abstention, at the UCC’s 35th biennial General Synod, which began on Friday and continued through Tuesday in Kansas City, Missouri. The resolution reaffirmed a prior resolution from the 31st synod, in 2017, 'On Becoming an Immigrant Welcoming Church.'”

"Amazing. New CNN poll has Trump's approval on immigration absolutely tanking. It's down to 42-58. A 19-point net swing against him on this issue in just the last few months.
Curious what those who keep saying we're in the midst of a huge societal backlash to 1965 immigration law think of this."
