NEW: Does DOJ even know how to issue subpoenas for a proper purpose these days? Judge Patrick Schiltz quashed federal grand jury subpoenas issued against Minnesota officials. The move echoes the quashed Federal Reserve and trans care subpoenas. Today, at Law Dork:

Fantastic footnote in Minnesota judge’s landmark decision rejecting grand jury subpoenas when he notes Blanche accused Governor Walz of terrorism based on a report that agents FABRICATED about being attacked. Guessing Blanche has not apologized.
