Prosecutors in the case against Milwaukee Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan are still trying to win in the court of public opinion. The feds are accusing Dugan of obstructing federal agents who were at the Milwaukee County Courthouse to arrest Eduardo Flores-Ruiz. Prosecutors recently released footage of Judge Dugan interacting with federal agents who were there to arrest.
While right wingers and MAGA morons are saying that it’s proof positive that Dugan committed a crime, they never can quite state how. That’s because the footage contradicts the criminal complaint and shows exactly how weak their case is.
The first problem they have is that despite releasing nearly eight minutes of footage, none of it is from inside the courtroom where they allege the alleged obstruction was committed.
Their next problem is that the footage clearly contradicts facts in the complaint, as reported by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
The video appears to show a tense but not explosive interaction. Dugan speaks and the agents respond. She briefly confers with Cervera and then gestures toward Chief Judge Carl Ashley’s office, just down the hall.
People sitting in the hallway glance up but do not appear intently focused on what is happening.
