Reply to comment by octoreadit in U.S. Asks to Drop Case Accusing N.Y.P.D. Officer of Spying for China by [deleted]

yeah man it was clearly a open and shut case, judging by the fact that they (checks notes) dropped the charges completely lol

"As a result of our continued investigation, the government obtained additional information bearing on the charges,” prosecutors said in a recent court filing, adding that it would dismiss the charges “in the interests of justice” for Baimadajie Angwang.

"The filing did not provide any details on the additional information."

So, took 3 years to figure out there was nothing, right? 😄

Nobody sat down for 40 hours a week for 3 years listening to this guy’s phone calls. Someone made a report, it sat on someone else’s desk for a year, handed to someone who doesn’t speak Chinese and recoded phone calls for investigation, sent the calls to another person who couldn’t get to them until now and realized wait this is bullshit.

Court cases are extremely slow.

Yeah bro, and COVID was just a random cold strain. There’s nothing at all of interest in an NYPD officer accused of spying for a sovereign country. Nothing to see here, go about your day citizen.

btw I too get all my own thoughts and conclusions from CNN headlines.

ok i'll make it super simple for you:

  • first, they investigated this guy for 3 years
  • then, they dropped the charges "in the interests of justice"
  • so, this means they concluded he wasn't guilty.

> So, took 3 years to figure out there was nothing, right? 😄

yes! good job, you did it!

More likely, they acquired some evidence illegally.

More likely, they dropped the case so they can monitor his every word for the rest of his life and avoid a diplomatic emergency with China.
