re: Reflecting Pool Case Dismissed with Prejudice: No evidence of a crime

Pirro request a dismissal with prejudice?

There was an express request to dismiss without prejudice. NACDL has a copy. It’s on the top of second page and in p.18

As I mentioned above if it was not so overtly written as “this is DOIs” fault, it would be easier to argue that contractor liability is an alternate theory and the burdensome restriction on the people to never be able to refile is contrary to the interests of justice and ultra vires to the judges discretion under Rinaldi

If not, i would want to appeal because having this as any sort of precedent is troubling. The judge clearly doesnt like trump's politicization of the matter. But so what? To put it simply and half-arse way - A lot of investigations and charges are politicized, that doesnt mean a Judge can bar a prosecution because of it

Agree, it’s the proposition that’s troubling even if the outcome is ok. There are a couple of '1 pros plus threat' cases at the DDC that were dismissed with prejudice, but none at a higher level. Moreover, it’s, imho,distinguishable between an overt threat and a dissatisfied President
