Just a week ago, a 12 time convicted felon about to go to trial in a federal case (20 ln meth strapped to his leg) in Minnesota, but the US attorney's office simply dropped the case.

Just 5 days later it was announced that a federal felony case for unlawful firearm possession. He had also been convicted in state charges in 2008 for unlawful firearm possession due to a previous (not identified in 2008 appeals decision) felony involving a crime of violence. He asserted his right to a speedy trial, the US attorney's office couldn't manage that, so case dismissed by Reagan-appointed judge. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/24/us/minnesota-gun-case-dismissed.html

According to the NYT more than a dozen prosecutors have left the US attorney's office since January.
