GG86: Broadview 6 Prosecutor Sheri Mecklenburg - Whistleblower or Ass Coverer?

Part 2!

Thomas, Lydia, and Matt return to the Broadview grand jury transcript, with Lydia in the role of a lifetime as prosecutor Sheri Mecklenburg. What happens when a juror says the case is a crock of shit, and what does the DOJ's own grand jury manual say should happen next? Then Mecklenburg's new motion to intervene arrives with a surprising detail about who at the top was paying attention. Why did the defense open their response with a "scrivener's error"? And what does her resignation letter say that her court filing doesn't?

Plus: a hearing is coming. Is she a credible whistleblower, a prosecutor covering her own tracks, or both?

Cases discussed:

• United States v. Broadview protest defendants (N.D. Ill.), grand jury misconduct motions

• AUSA Sheri Mecklenburg's Motion for Leave to Intervene

• Defendants' response supporting intervention
