#1 Some of the better news I heard last week.
This was a very destructive over-reach and there is prosecutorial misconduct involved.

I never want to see the FEDS act this way again.
Ever.

Ergo Cliven Bundy is exonerated, correct? And his kid. and his Family?

#2 Ditto newc. One Waco, TX was more than enough.

#3 I suggest that withholding exculpatory evidence should carry a more severe penalty than a sympathy card from the local barf association wishing the prosecutor better luck next time.
Thing is, you don't withhold exculpatory evidence unless you know that, if it comes out, you don't have a case. So, you know you don't have a case, but you're still trying to put the guy in jail. Shouldn't that be a major crime?

#4 With prejudice means this case is deep-sixed forever and that it pissed off the judge as well. This was Obama's fundemental transformation to criminalize the government against its citizens--Vast government over-reach. One of the many reasons citizens elected Trump instead of Hillary. She scared the bejeesus out of voters. As Besoeker said, voters remember Waco, Ruby Ridge, and Oklahoma City. They did't want more of the same.
