For those of you who are new to the blog, or who have not been paying attention, Legal Insurrection
filed a FOIA suit against the District of Columbia seeking records related to the non-prosecution of David Gregory and NBC News despite their clear violation of D.C.'s gun law by possessing a 30-round ammunition magazine.
We are represented by
Judicial Watch, which has done a wonderful job. It's a real credit to them that they work hard to dig out the truth not only on big issues like IRS targeting, but also smaller issues like how draconian D.C. gun laws are not enforced against the famous and connected D.C. elites.
In the Gregory case, NBC News was warned by the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department that possession of the magazine was illegal, and that NBC News should use a photo not the real thing, but NBC News ignored the warning and used it on Meet the Press.
Legal Insurrection was one of the first
to note the violation of law, and we pursued the story in a
long series of posts.
Despite the clear violation of law, the D.C. Attorney General, Irvin Nathan,
decided not to prosecute Gregory or any NBC News personnel.
