Prosecutors admit to possession of “images of officers hugging or fist-buming

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

After explaining that the government possesses “[t]housands of hours” of video footage from a variety of sources, they conceded these materials include recordings of Capitol Police Officers allowing protesters to enter the so-called “restricted” area into which Griffin is alleged to have trespassed. The prosecutors stated:

“[W]e are not in a position to turn over the universe of information we possess for Defendant to review. Although we are aware that we possess some information that the defense may view as supportive of arguments that law enforcement authorized defendants (including Defendant) to enter the restricted grounds, e.g., images of officers hugging or fist-bumping rioters, posing for photos with rioters, and moving bike racks, we are not in a position to state whether we have identified all such information”

Compared to all the news and publicly shared video of Burn Loot Murder vandalizing, destroying, assaulting and looting which has resulted in very few federal or felony charges.....

The idea that there's too much video to sort through and release seems like a very weak argument.

If I was a judge: "If you don't have the time to find evidence of a crime I see no reason to assume the defendant committed a crime. The charges are hereby dismissed with prejudice."

Unfortunately, the judges are just as deeply invested in their status among the ruling class to ever let that kind of statement escape their lips.

Doesn't everybody get arrested for stopping-by the local fire-house and thanking the guys for being there and for doing a great job? 

Huh.  Thought it was the new normal.  Maybe just for the Deplorables.

I read the prosecutor's quote more as "we have evidence that may acquit the defendant, but we're too busy to share that with the defense."  To which i would think the judge would say "Turn it over to the defense, and let them figure that out, since you have a vested interest in hiding such evidence."
