First lawsuit filed against police after the Marion Report raid. Likely more to follow. #politics #policeabuse
Maybe freedom of the press is STILL a thing in Kansas. A local police chief raided a newspaper office after a judge agreed to a search warrant. Turns out the affidavit didn't contain anything to justify the search.

Does anyone else use ground.news? The provide links from multiple outlets for news stories.
More on Marion newspaper raid. What exposure do those involved face with possible criminal prosecution.
The Kansas attorney general is still having the KBI investigate whether there was a data breach even though the justification for the search was insufficient. Most people refer to the AG as KKK if that helps.
A request has been entered to determine Judge Laura Viar’s mental capacity by the commission on judicial conduct.

You have to love small town dirt. The police search of a local newspaper is providing some interesting background of the participants. The police chief has a colorful background. The judge, personal history of her own DUIs.

Yay, KBI returning papers equipment. Everything seized from the Marion Report is being returned. The investigation is ongoing but the search warrant was inadequate for the actions taken. A win for the free press and 1st amendment.

So far the KBI seems to be walking the thin blue line. They took over the case 2 days ago. Would like to see DOJ open an investigation.
Freedom of the press is no longer a thing in the USA?

With indictment 4 now on the books what will we look forward to while we wait for an actual trial to begin?
Well, I think Smith will appeal the last ruling by Cannon and the circuit will overturn and remove Cannon from the case.
We still have arraignment of Trump and his buddies in Georgia, perp walk x 19.
We can also likely expect Trump to be charged with interfering with a trial.

Another article on the police search of the Marion Reporter newspaper. KSNT is pretty late to the conversation but delivered a pretty good article.

On December 13, 2020, Kenneth Chesebro, a pro-Trump lawyer, sent a memo to Rudolph Giuliani, the President’s lead outside counsel, upon request from Trump Campaign official Boris Epshteyn. Chesebro laid out a “‘President of the Senate’ strategy,
From the J6C report. Epshteyn requested Cheseboro send the memo to Guiliani.
This is one of the reasons I like him as conspirator 6.

So by now we all know the attorney I missed was Chesebro.
The political consultant, my guess is Boris Epshteyn.
Pure speculation of course.
