Associated Press Says In what may be the first subpoena of its kind in decades, a federal judge has ordered a university to turn over records about a gathering of anti-war activists.
The targets of the subpoenas believe investigators are trying to link them to an incident that occurred during the rally. A Grinnell College librarian was charged with misdemeanor assault on a peace officer; she has pleaded innocent, saying she simply went limp and resisted arrest.
“The best approach is not to speculate and see what we learn on Tuesday” when the four testify, said Ben Stone, executive director of the Iowa Civil Liberties Union, which is representing one of the protesters.
Federal prosecutors refuse to comment on the subpoenas.
Ironic…..
That the first Librarian to be charged under the Piece Of Shit act is so charged for not only doing nothing, but for nothing that has anything to do with being a librarian.
Framing
I wondered why they even mentioned that she was a librarian. I couldn’t decide if it was intended as, “She’s a librarian – I’m sure she didn’t hit the officer,” or “She’s one of those pinko, commie librarians!”
