This is absurd. The judiciary is supposed to act as a check on the executive branch from over charging and over criminalization, not for dismissing cases. The court is not supposed to be another prosecutor. Regardless of how you feel about the administration and the defendant, come on.... this is wrong.
👀 Judge Nichols has *declined* DOJ's request to dismiss Steve Bannon's contempt of Congress conviction. He says prosecutors have failed to adequately explain the rationale. s3.documentcloud.org/documen…

This article by @domarkus is must reading. Not only is the Judicial opinion infuriating but makes a mockery of the so called “Justice System”
