Local DA is using the slowness of BATF processing as a hammer to try and get “plea bargains” done. They know they cannot possible prove the vast majority of what they have been charged with.
They have been playing a big scam on “asset forfeiture” as a creative method of financing their operation.
New Fed budget has destroyed that.
Now they face a huge class action lawsuit over how this has been handled. Liability will destroy Wac(k)o. But it will most likely take over 5 years of litigation to settle.
In the meantime, many unfortunate innocent people’s lives are being destroyed. Headshake.
