Slurring Sloppy Drunk "Judge" Drinky McWinebox moves to dismiss Bannon J-6 case "in the interests of justice"

Federal prosecutors on Monday moved to drop a criminal case brought during the Biden administration against Steve Bannon, a former adviser to President Donald Trump who was convicted years ago for thumbing his nose at lawmakers investigating the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

In a request to the federal judge in Washington, DC, who oversaw Bannon’s trial, US Attorney Jeanine Pirro said “the government has determined in its prosecutorial discretion that dismissal of this criminal case is in the interests of justice.”

Pirro asked US District Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointee, to dismiss the matter with prejudice, which, if granted, would mean prosecutors are barred from refiling the case.
