Serious grand jury misconduct by federal prosecutors forces Chicago US Attorney Andrew Boutros to drop charges in another case handled by a key "Broadview Six" prosecutor. This motion appears to have been filed by Boutros himself. His office is now melting down.

Sources told STAT that application drew interest from top health officials. Given the demographics and the peculiar nature of the application, I asked the WH if this patient was President Trump, who turned 80 a week ago. I did not get a direct answer.

SCOOP: So remember Dialog, Peter Thiel's private society that doesn't have a public website and no public list of members? I (along with a number of other journalists) have just been tipped off that embedded in the code of their closed off website there IS what seems to be a list of some members.

Incredible line from a grand juror in the Broadview 6 case, who had just asked the prosecutors why they get "unlimited tries" to indict people they don't want to indict: "I heard this case like last week and I thought it was a crock of shit then and I still think it is."

An extraordinary rebuke of Todd Blanche and his Justice Department. Federal judge dismisses the indictment of Abrego Garcia (an exceedingly rare outcome in a criminal case). Finding of vindictive prosecution and "an abuse of prosecuting power." The opinion name checks Blanche nearly 30 times.

Speaking, I assume, to the defendants, Perry thinks "you are entitled to a briefing and perhaps a hearing on the issue of vindictive prosecution should you choose to raise it. She also raises the possibility of sanctions and possible ethics violations for prosecutorial misconduct.
