Court Officers Behaving Badly
Ken White and Josh Barrow dissect the collapse of the federal case against the "Broadview Six," anti‑ICE protesters in Chicago, highlighting egregious grand‑jury misconduct by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, including redacted transcripts, illegal vouching, off‑record communications, and manipulation of juror participation. The judges, especially Judge April Perry, responded with anger and threatened sanctions, while U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros admitted to a cover‑up and dismissed the charges with prejudice. The hosts explain the potential remedies—sanctions, referrals to bar associations, and Hyde Amendment fee awards—and note the broader pattern of inexperienced prosecutors being thrust into high‑profile political cases.
