Judge: DOJ Officials Violated Court Rules with Mangione Statements

Justice Dept officials’ statements on Luigi Mangione broke court rules, judge says. It’s a phrase that immediately raises eyebrows, doesn’t it? It speaks to a potential breakdown in the very foundations of our legal system, where fairness and due process are supposed to reign supreme. And the fact that Justice Department officials, the very people tasked with upholding the law, are accused of this, adds another layer of complexity.

As I read the news that a federal judge denied Donald Trump’s motions for a mistrial in the defamation case brought by columnist E. Jean Carroll, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction. Finally, some form of accountability seems to be looming for the former president. The judge’s decision to deny the motion, stating that it had no “merit” and was “entirely pointless,” just goes to show that federal judges do not tolerate baseless legal arguments.

It’s almost comical how bad Trump’s lawyers are. The judge went point by point, shredding their argument and exposing its weaknesses.… Continue reading
