The move frees a trial judge to act on the #Trump admin’s pending request to dismiss Bannon’s conviction & indictment “in the interests of justice” [rewriting history].

That 2000 deaths are linked to illegal actions by the Australian public service and no referrals for for possible criminal prosecutions result is poison for "social cohesion".

The system that treated thousands of people so badly that they killed themselves - the government had run amok.

And in the #House, GOP leaders used a procedural move for nearly a year to prevent lawmakers from even having to take such a vote.
