On #J20, 200+ protesters were arrested, detained, and put their lives on hold for 18 months to #resist the Trump DOJ.

A partial victory for us, but clear notice for future cases: US Attorney's Office is on notice re: disclosing exculpatory evidence. (To the extent they had thus far failed to notice the 55 years of clear post-Brady case law, I trust this will do the trick) #j20trials #defendj20

Judge Morin—ruling on the #J20 prosecutors' motion for an order saying that their Brady/Rule 16 violations weren't intentional—made clear that the government had not lived up to its obligations, but stopped short of calling out their clear intent to mislead😕 #j20trials #dropj20

Also also, the #J20 prosecutors have a strange inability to comprehend the linear nature of time. In this case: Videos created AFTER they were sent to prosecutors. (Previously: Decisions justified based on a ruling that happened months later.) #J20trials #DropJ20 #DefendJ20

Filed a doc today outlining a bunch of research re: how prosecutors minimized Project Veritas' connections to law enforcement during the #J20Trials (and otherwise bent reality in their preferred direction!) #DropJ20 #J20 #DefendJ20

This just in: #J20 Prosecutors admit to an agreement to conceal the identity of Project Veritas videographer #J20Trials #DropJ20 #DefendJ20

It's worth noting that when the judge sanctioned her, he avoided using her name. This is common practice among judges, preventing true accountability. So let's all use her name Jennifer "Jen" Kerkhoff, we will hold you accountable. #J20 #J20Trials #DefendJ20 #DropJ20

It's completely outrageous that Jennifer Kerkhoff got promoted.
Good job, world (well, @USAO_DC, anyway) Jennifer Kerkhoff--who bungled the felony prosecution of over 200 protesters in the #J20 cases, and got sanctioned by the judge for flagrant misconduct--just got promoted to the head of her department. 👏 #J20trials #DropJ20 #DefendJ20

This is how Jennifer Kerkhoff behaves with so many eyes on her. How much worse must she be for the average person in the court system? Now she heads a department—no boss looking over her shoulder, and plenty of people to mentor in her methods #j20 #j20trials #defendj20 #DropJ20

This appears to be Jennifer Kerkhoff's **second** promotion since she launched the #J20Trials Deputy Chief -> Senior Deputy Chief -> Chief Apparently, these are the consequences of hiding evidence, lying to a judge, and trampling on hundreds of people's "rights" #DropJ20 #J20

Tonight, #J20 def. files for attorney's fees under the Hyde Amendment (the _other_ Hyde Amendment), based on findings of prosecutorial misconduct Rare, in a system where prosecutors face ~0 consequences for their behavior--no matter how egregious! #DropJ20 #DefendJ20 #J20Trials

Trump is just still mad that the protestors were the only ones who showed up for his Inauguration. 😏

#j20Trials juror saw news of Judge's Brady sanctions ruling on Twitter..."confirming his intuition about the prosecutor" So it looks like the tables have turned, and the prosecutor will be seeking a mistrial... #j20 #DropJ20 #DefendJ20 #dropthecharges

Chief Judge Morin's excellent ruling yesterday looks even better in black and white. ...little doubt now that the conspiracy charges are indeed gone for ALL #J20 defendants. #j20Trials #DropJ20 #DefendJ20 #dropthecharges
