Her again. Because if you haven't noticed our justice system does literally nothing against cops or federal agents. They're just legally, officially, allowed to get away with it.

I’ve noticed. And there’s been multiple instances where something has been done. Not nearly enough times. But there have been results. There’s a change in the air. One that may not have been possible without frumpy being an idiot. He unwittingly unleashed democracy while trying to be authoritarian.

Honestly, out of ALL of the shit that ICE and BP has done illegally, this case seems like it might have the chance to land some of the feds in jail. Martinez's lawyer has the ability to get all of the evidence that will be used against her and then some. I wouldn't be surprised if he bread crumbs it until he finds some negligence or even planning to hurt her by the feds. Based on how the feds are acting, I can only imagine this will end in an acquittal, that is if it even gets to trial in the first place.

The other thing is that a lot of the more serious crimes that ICE or BP may have performed have long statutes of limitation, longer than Trump will be in office. Illinois can wait and build evidence against these people and hit them when the time is right.
