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)

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😕

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.)

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!)

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

A judge on Friday ordered federal prosecutors to disclose whether they had an arrangement with... Project Veritas to conceal the group’s identity

Good morning! Today is #WrongfulConvictionDay - throughout the day, we will highlight some stories of exonerees and statistics from the Registry.

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.

It's completely outrageous that Jennifer Kerkhoff got promoted.

[Elizabeth Lagesse @ElizAriadne]

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

[Elizabeth Lagesse @ElizAriadne]

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

[Elizabeth Lagesse @ElizAriadne]

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. 👏

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 @dropj20]

Throughout the #J20trials, judges started from the assumption that prosecutors were being honest. This assumption was proven wrong.

For the sake of every defendant everywhere, it's time to challenge that assumption.

#j20 #dropj20 #defendj20

[Elizabeth Lagesse @ElizAriadne]

In the #J20 cases:

- prosecutors sanctioned by a judge for hiding evidence from the defense
- 2 separate juries decided the cases didn't hold water

But DC's police chief thinks the "bad guys" won because prosecutors lost. 🤔

Remember this gem? (From Kerkhoff @ the first #J20Trials)

“They've talked to you about reasonable doubt. You’re going to get an instruction from the judge. And you can tell it’s written by a bunch of lawyers. It doesn’t mean a whole lot."

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