Judge declares mistrial in Bundy Ranch standoff case

This is from The Arizona Republic and Reporter Robert Anglen, 20 December 2017.

Here is the lede:

A federal judge declared a mistrial Wednesday in the case against Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, saying U.S. prosecutors willfully withheld critical and "potentially exculpatory" evidence from the defense.

Think about this ethical breach:

U.S. prosecutors willfully withheld critical and "potentially exculpatory" evidence

If you haven't read Attorney Sidney Powell's book, Licensed to Lie, you should.

For our freedom we depend, in part, on the trusted integrity of the Attorneys in the Department of Justice.  This kind of breech brings into question that trust.  Worse, it smears the whole system, including the FBI and the Special Prosecutor, at a time when integrity is of the upmost importance.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
