Yes The governmen has acted abominable in this case.
It is absolutely disgusting what they have done to this family.
Tactics like these are what is coming to those who refuse to knucle under to Feinsteins gun bill.
Absolutely shameful from the git go.
That's the way all banana republics handle this sort of problem.
Federal prosecutors seem to be a pretty disgusting group. May they all rot in hell.
“the comparatively minor charge of lying on gun sales forms — even though the lies they were convicted of were perpetrated by federal agents and the Reese’s crimes were that they ‘should have known’ that the agents were lying.”
Now this is the money quote, I find it unfathomable that the Judge did not Dismiss the entire case and charge the prosecutor and the feral agents. It’s not too late Judge.

Agreed
But on the other hand , I want to see and hear testimony in the court case that will implicate the Fed administrators who directed their agents to coerce and intimidate the dealers into submission.
This court hearing could be used for discovery for a further civil suit action against the Fed as well as libel and slander civil suits against the media.
The fed’s attempt to paint this family enterprize as gunrunners , part of “Fast and Furious”, could bite them in the a$$ .
The Fed already got their publicity, now it’s time for pab-back !
Which actually begs a bigger question :”Can you sue the Fed under RICO laws “ ??
Would someone who is familiar with this case please enlighten the rest of us ignorant doofuses with some details?
