"Schraderโs resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons"
Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorneyโs Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division
I've seen people saying this is due process; being put before a kangaroo court on the charges the regime transparently only invented to smear Garcia's name after his name became public is not "due process". It's still openly fascist dictator shit and I hope people won't be Handing It To Em for this.
