The doj has plenty of time for putting you or me into jail, but they can't address the blatant crimes of the political class?
Now, because this fella knew his rights, and what loosing them meant for the rest of us, he has to go to jail so that the feds don't have to disclose their complicity in blowing that lady's arm apart.
Had you forgotten about that?
I think it is past time for consent to be withdrawn from these uniformed gang members.
Feds Jail, Fine #NoDAPL Witness for Refusing to Testify at Secret Grand Jury

Bismarck, ND – On Wednesday, March 3, Steve Martinez was arrested and imprisoned at the Burleigh County Detention Center after refusing to testify before a secret federal grand jury.

“This grand jury certainly appears to have been convened for the primary purpose of manufacturing an ‘ongoing criminal investigation’ such as would justify the Government’s refusal to hand over definitive evidence in a related civil proceeding,” said Ms. Meltzer-Cohen.
“Mr. Martinez has no obligation to comply with a subpoena that was issued in other than good faith, and we will use every lawful means to demonstrate to the Court that, at the very least, the circumstances surrounding this grand jury deserve serious scrutiny.”
Grand juries are held in secret and controlled entirely by the prosecutor; those called to testify under threat of imprisonment have no right to have a lawyer present with them in the courtroom.
