An Idaho judge dismissed on Friday the state’s case against a Patriot Front member accused of conspiring to riot at an LGBT demonstration last year, finding that a prosecutor acted in “bad faith” by failing to provide the defendant with possibly exculpatory evidence.
Judge Destry Randles’s order stems from the incident in June 2022, when 31 members of the right-wing nationalist group were arrested after someone reported seeing people loading into a U-Haul van like “a little army” at a hotel parking lot in Coeur d’Alene.
Five of the Patriot Front defendants were convicted of misdemeanor charges of conspiracy to riot last month, while the group’s leader, Thomas Rousseau, is set to stand trial on Sept. 22.
But the Patriot Front’s Richard Jessop is now in the clear after Judge Randle dismissed the conspiracy charge against him Friday.
“The Court concludes dismissal is the only way this Court can instill some sense of justice back into this matter. There is no confidence the State has even yet complied with its discovery obligations,” Judge Randles said in her scathing order, which was directed towards Coeur d’Alene’s deputy city attorney, Ryan Hunter.

Same prosecutor was sanctioned by a different judge for similar discovery shenanigans with another defendant (same defense counsel)
Good for the judge
It should happen more often ( tossing out the case)
Idaho ain’t California
Correction: sanctions were to same prosecutor, different judge, earlier in same case
Many Prosecutors and Judges these days a running a political racket to deprive their targets of the targets’ civil rights and are themselves part of a hate group.
Aren’t they the FIB?
BINGO! Patriot Front: Land's End khakis and IZOD polo shirts and a direct wire to the FIB.
“Patriot Front: Land’s End khakis”
Don’t they have a new name now?
Something like blood thirsty crazy conservatives?
Patriot Front just didn’t seem to have the image they were looking for...
Many Prosecutors are running a political racket to deprive their targets of the targets’ civil rights and are themselves part of a hate group.......
You said a mouthful......and they all seem to be angry black women looking for revenge.
The hate bottled up in Ga’s prosecutor Fani Willis was heaped upon Donald Trump.......her hatred is so profound she actually saw crimes in a tweet and a phone call.
Judge Destry Randles
Destry Rides Again
I was about to ask if this was the group that all had masks and matching kakis, and I think matching FIB sunglasses...
Or…..it was purely an intimidation technique by our beloved DOJ
BINGO!!! It’s NOTHING but a FED group!! Big tell is that a judge threw out the case!
There were MANY QUESTIONS regarding this particular ‘close call’, starting with why the ‘Patriot Front’ (LOL) people were allowed to keep their faces covered while being arrested. In the famous picture (in the article), you’ll see the guy closest to the camera also has something bulging in his right pocket rear - why were their pockets not emptied? There’s more stuff people discussed, just from that one picture - PATHETIC operation by our masters, so bad that they haven’t even tried repeating it.
Too bad that "someone" doesn't have a name!
And the characterization "like a little army" is a wholly subjective and extremely prejudicial description. Like what "little army," exactly? Like the army of Liechtenstein? Or of Luxembourg?
Oh! I'm shakin' in muh boots!

But the incremental sacrifice of the prosecutor's reputation and influence by accusing him of defying discovery rules in two different cases is puzzling. If judge and presumed Fed group are in this together, wouldn't the bait-and-switch hurt the Feds' ability to inspire other prosecutors to "take one for the team" by pursuing false-flag Kabuki cases, if that's what this is?
Are some of these prosecutor posts elective? Or are they strictly appointments?
Another thing: I don't think it's helpful at all to future prosecutions like this to point out the Feds' suppression of evidence by evading discovery rules. It makes the public suspicious of the whole process and is damaging to the interests of the Deep Fed.
What's the history of this judge? Is she usually a Federal patsy, and this is departure from her usual position--or not?
The Patriot Front are Glowies.
glowie (plural glowies)
(Internet slang, derogatory, far-right) A government agent or informant infiltrating an online political space, with the supposed intention of surveilling violent extremists or provoking entrapment.
And you would most probably be right. Don’t they all where kakhi pants blue shirts and white masks and sunglasses.
In other words:
The prosecutor Conspired to DEFRAUD the Court and the United States Government and the American People. The judge should have JAILED the Prosecutor and referred to the DOJ for Criminal Prosecution as well as a referral for Immediate and Permanent disbarment.
