Todd Blanche Humiliated Yet Again as Judge Dismisses Criminal Charges Against Kilmar Abrego Garcia

Judge Waverly D. Crenshaw Jr. of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee criticized Blanche and the DOJ directly in his ruling, saying that the criminal charges against Abrego Garcia had been brought with "vindictive taint" that rendered them unlawful. Quoting former Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson, Crenshaw wrote the following: "Then-Attorney General Robert H. Jackson warned his fellow prosecutors long ago of the danger of picking the person first and the crime second. 'Therein is the most dangerous power of the prosecutor: that he will pick people that he thinks he should get, rather than pick cases that need to be prosecuted.' That is the situation here."
