Judge sighs deeply and drops the massive Oath Keepers case
The feds basically walked into court, asked to drop their landmark case against militia leaders, and the judge had no choice.
The DOJ spent years building a massive case against the leadership of the Oath Keepers over Jan. 6. Then prosecutors showed up in court and asked to toss the entire thing in the trash.
The judge granted the motion, though clearly holding back a scream. The government literally chose to walk away from prosecuting the very militia leaders accused of orchestrating the Capitol chaos. Former federal prosecutors are watching this play out and sounding the alarm, pointing out that rewriting history doesn't make the violence disappear.
Years of subpoenas, mountains of evidence, and the legal strategy just became hitting the backspace key.
