RickBin: This is beyond bizarre!
I have NEVER heard of such a thing once the prosecution (in this case the D.O.J.!) has requested dismissal of charges - this is just more "deep state" obstructionism and delay of justice by another demonrat judge.
This is simply stunningly flagrant abuse of judicial power with a political agenda.
Sad and sorry state of affairs.
