Judge Mehta doesn’t want to quietly dismiss the seditious conspiracy conviction of Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes. He’s asking the Trump administration to justify its decision to try to erase the case.

Maybe if Kash Patel and Dan Bongino hadn’t fired “legendary” Mehta Syed-Agent in Charge of the Salt Lake City Office-for no reason
*last month*
This wouldn’t have happened
But that’s what you get when incompetents run things
Mehta-a Muslim-joined the FBI because of September 11
What a waste

Just found out that Mohsen Mahdawi's lawyer is Cyrus Mehta, a very well-respected lawyer in NYC. Great news for him. Cyrus is excellent.
Mohsen Mahdawi, legal US resident, was just arrested during a citizenship interview. He had been publicly targeted by far-right pro-Israel groups for months.
*A federal judge quickly issued a temporary restraining order preventing Mahdawi's removal from Vermont.*
