To-MAY-to, To-MAH-to

Does he think he’s been eating live scallops?

Does this sound familiar? A prosecutor misleads a grand jury, and then redacts the transcripts to cover her actions. No, not the Broadview Six case; same prosecutor, different case. A case involving the Loretto Hospital.
The case involving Khan and Chaudhry “arises out of a single, widespread scheme to submit more than $800 million in false claims to the United States Health Resources and Services Administration … for reimbursement of COVID-19 testing of uninsured individuals,” Mecklenburg wrote earlier this year.

The scheme lasted from June 2021 through March 2022, “when the government program ran out of money,” she added.
A serious fraud case, IOW. Which has now been dismissed by the government, with prejudice, because the former prosecutor on the case was also the Broadview Six prosecutor.  Her cases are being examined, and a pattern is emerging.
The allegations included Mecklenburg improperly putting her credibility on the line to support criminal charges, wrongly dismissing grand jurors from the proceedings, and having conversations with grand jurors outside the grand jury room.
The grand jury transcripts were redacted in both cases to cover the prosecutor’s tracks. The actions with the grand juries were the same.  And now the outcome of the cases is the same.

This is the DOJ Todd Blanche is overseeing. He will say it’s Bondi’s fault, but he was working under Bondi and should have known this was happening, or revealed it when he learned. If he didn’t learn, why didn’t he? And how many other cases have to be dismissed because of gross prosecutorial misconduct? How much suspicion of this DOJ should the courts and the public have, until the DOJ can prove itself trustworthy again?

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? My guess is, in the DOJ, a lot of people between the AG and the prosecutors, do. What about them? Why are they letting this happen?

This is third-world shit that is being thwarted only because of the courts. Blanche no more deserves to be AG than Trump deserves to be POTUS. But Blanche can be more easily blocked from office.

  1. I take the Congresswoman's point but on the whole the only time trump *isn"t* a national security crisis is when he's sleeping.
