Federal Judge Orders Vindictiveness Hearing in Trump Target Case After DOJ Official's Statement

Learn how a single statement by the DOJ's second-in-command triggered a federal judge to shift the burden of proof onto the government in a key vindictive prosecution test case.

Short Summary

  • The Tennessee federal judge found credible evidence of vindictive prosecution against Armando Abrego Garcia, primarily based on a statement by DOJ Deputy AG Todd Blanche.
  • The court mandated an evidentiary hearing and ordered the government to turn over discovery documents and sit for depositions.
  • This ruling signifies a major victory for the defendant, as it forces the DOJ to prove the charges were not retaliatory, likely leading to indictment dismissal.

This analysis covers the implications of Judge Krenshaw’s memorandum opinion, focusing on how Todd Blanche’s remarks on Fox News effectively signaled actual or presumptive vindictiveness, thereby setting the stage for the government to defend its actions.

Abrego's case should be dismissed and Canada should offer his entire family citizenship. They will never be safe in the United States

The fact that the DOJ continually disrespects the rulings of the courts says it all.
