FED PDS HAVE A DAY

With apologies to Mr. Markus for intruding on his milieu, whose blog has the sappier/mushy side of yesterdays events here, several alert blog irregulars have forwarded an FACDL email (we must just pause to state that not getting 20 emails a day asking "does anyone have a recommendation for a paralegal that speaks Spanish?" has made life, not to mention our email in box, immeasurably more pleasurable): 

CONGRATS to AFPDs Ashley Kay, MaeAnn Dunker, Victor Van Dyke, and Ian McDonald. These two trial teams BOTH got NGs yesterday in federal court.

 Ashley and Mae’s client was found not guilty of two counts of assault on a federal officer in front of Judge Ruiz.

And Victor and Ian’s client was found not guilty of conspiring to export and controlled substance and attempted to export a controlled substance in front of Judge Williams.

Query: Is anyone sensing a backlash against prosecutors in general and AUSAs in particular?  What with the feds knocking down the white house  (time to go- the sales for the 1600 Penn Ave condos are through the roof, and each one comes with an exact replica of the oval office) and outlawing vaccines except for horse antibiotics, and prohibiting the production of art. books, songs, and other literature not approved by the Dear Leader, maybe citizens are a bit more skeptical these days of the benevolence and truthfulness  of the feds. 

Of course the not guilty verdicts may be the result of the US attorneys office firing most of the experienced prosecutors and using the sight-impaired food service staff (who do a wonderful job BTW) as substitute prosecutors in the short term until they can hire more lawyers than they can fire, which at the moment is a Sisyphean task. 

Coming tomorrow: The Dear Leader announces plans to develop the Washinton Mall and knock down the Washington and Lincoln Memorials. As to the Mall, he said, "its prime undeveloped space", and as to the memorials he said "One is a giant pencil and it's ugly, and the other celebrates a war mongering president who got rid of slavery and slavery was not all bad you know."  No word yet on the proposed designs of the Stalin and Putin memorials set to take their place.
