Breaking News: The Department of Justice is filing extensions on my case.

I have some breaking news for you, and it is big news as it relates to an update in my case.Four months since they charged me for doing my job, for being inside a church with a camera, where the news was happening, where any journalist worth their press pass would have been, and I have been very patient about this.I have been measured.I have let my lawyers do their work.I said I'm not going to do this in the press.But today something happened that I just cannot stay quiet about.

They, meaning the government, the Department of Justice and such, they are filing extensions.They are filing senseless motions.They are dragging this out just because they can, because the punishment is the process.I said that the day that I was arrested, and other people caught in this administration's machinery of cruelty, they have adopted it too, because it is true.You don't have to beat somebody in court if you can just grind them down, drain their bank account, consume their life, make an example of them for everyone else watching.That is exactly what this is.

So let me lay this out for you, okay?Before they even got to the indictment, the prosecutors went to a judge and tried to get an arrest warrant against me, swore in an affidavit that I had violated the law.The judge read it and said, no, no probable cause, nothing here.So what did they do?They appealed because that was never about the law.This is about following the commands of president Trump and his justice department to go after his critics.

I was certainly one of them.I'm still one of them.The appeals court said no to, so that's two.They said no.And then somehow they got a Minnesota grand jury to bring this indictment.How they did that, what they said to those grand jurors, my attorneys are fighting to find out.

We filed a motion months ago asking for grand jury material.Still waiting because here's what we already know happened here.Multiple judges foundno probable cause to even charge me.They indicted at least one person who wasn't even at the protest, and they have since admitted that person is innocent.And they still haven't handed over a single grand jury testimony.

not one, including the transcript where, by their own admission, they presented false information to the grand jury.There are other aspects of this case that my lawyers would prefer that I not go into right now, but I will say this, that the process is the punishment, and we are living it every single day.
