Great reporting here from @jordangreennc, who had to put in much more effort to get the court documents here than should be necessary.
Feds have been keeping a tight lid on this case from the start, as @letsgomathias and I reported in October: huffpost.com/entry/camp-lej…
It’s a very weird and highly disturbing tale:
“This is why this President is so dangerous,” Alicia Garza tweeted at the time. “He is stoking fires he has no intention of controlling.”

Anyway, this judge’s order is bad and they should feel bad.

If she were interested in examining the actual facts of this case, there’s actually an interesting backstory here!

Spoiler: It wasn’t just dismissed because of some political agenda.
First of all, for context, the alleged behavior at issue came about as law enforcement violently cleared protesters from public streets surrounding the White House ahead of Donald Trump’s photo-op in front of a church. So bad set of facts to begin with.
Here’s the law enforcement narrative about the case. The National Capital Region Facial Recognition Investigative Leads System played a major role in identifying the alleged suspect here. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

In hearing for Landon Copeland, a federal prosecutor said the FBI was “extremely hesitant” about making arrests in Hildale, Utah, where the police force was under DOJ scrutiny because it was controlled by the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. (Fixed.)
Here’s a @davidgshortell story on the policing situation in the area around the Arizona-Utah border: cnn.com/2017/04/19/us/…
Here’s the 2012 lawsuit filed by DOJ against Colorado City / Hildale: justice.gov/sites/default/…

NEW: The feds seized an iPhone from an attorney associated with the Oath Keepers in connection with a “seditious conspiracy” investigation.

“I have so much information in there…"

huffpost.com/entry/oath-kee…
Kellye SoRelle said her phone was “kinda a repository of truth” and that she was frustrated the feds had seized it.

“They either think i am the mastermind or they wanted a free dig through everything ― either way it is unethical.”

huffpost.com/entry/oath-kee…
Notably, the search warrant mentions 18 USC 2384, the “seditious conspiracy” charge we heard so much about after Jan. 6.

No Capitol defendants have faced that charge, but it’s come up in search warrant in at least one other Jan. 6 case per @SeamusHughes. huffpost.com/entry/oath-kee…
