Department for Just Us.

They do seem to have adopted the platform of using the law as a tool of politics: relentlessly pursuing and punishing the out group, blessing and clearing members of their in group.

I notice also that the DC circuit plays an important role here. The partisan mix among jurors is intense and reliable. All the J6 cases can be prosecuted there, and all the Durham cases, assuring the correct outcomes even when an actual jury must be involved. I read Sussman’s jury featured the mother of one of his daughter’s school teammates.

If you had to bring these cases to a court out in America, you’d have to prove the cases to a jury. DC allows political preferences to do the work.

NB that, except for the one link to FOX, these sources are all mainstream to left. This is not hostile partisan reporting on their efforts.
