Judge Dismisses Bogus Charge Against David Daleiden for Exposing Planned Parenthood

David Daleiden Vindicated as Judge Dismisses Charges Against Him for Exposing Planned Parenthood | LifeNews.com

Quote:

Undercover investigator David Daleiden has been vindicated. Today, a Harris County, Texas judge dismissed the bogus misdemeanor charge against David Daleiden for allegedly trying to buy body parts from the Planned Parenthood abortion business he was exposing for selling them as a part of the Center for Medical Progress’ undercover investigation.

Daleiden has maintained from the beginning that he and the Center for Medical Progress followed all applicable laws in the course of its investigative journalism and that the indictments were politically motivated.

Judge Diane Bull’s swift dismissal of the bogus charge against CMP founder David Daleiden of trafficking human organs is the latest confirmation that the indictments from a runaway grand jury in Houston were a politically-motivated sham all along. In finding that the indictment was void on its face, Judge Bull’s ruling directly contradicts the District Attorney’s argument that the indictment was valid despite the DA’s collusion with Planned Parenthood.

The dismissal of the first indictment today sends a strong message to Planned Parenthood and their political cronies that colluding to suppress the First Amendment rights of citizen journalists will never work. The Center for Medical Progress follows all applicable laws in the course of its investigative journalism work and as more details about Planned Parenthood’s contracts for aborted baby parts come to light, it’s clear that Planned Parenthood and their business partners like StemExpress are the ones who are guilty of trafficking in human body parts.

As the Houston Chronicle reports about the dismissed charge, Daleiden’s attorneys maintain District Attorney Devon Anderson has been working in cahoots with the Planned Parenthood abortion company to target Daleiden:

Daleiden is accusing the Harris County District Attorney’s Office of illegally colluding with the nonprofit organization.

“The DA’s office has chosen to wage a war on the pro-life movement,” said attorney Jared Woodfill. “We believe there is clear evidence of Planned Parenthood actually colluding with and pushing the district attorney’s office to move forward with these indictments.”

Daleiden still faces bogus charges alleging he used a false ID to gain access to a Planned Parenthood clinic for a meeting with staff.

Daleiden posted bail in response to what his attorneys and pro-life groups explain are bogus charges related to his undercover investigation and exposure of the Planned Parenthood abortion business selling the body parts of aborted babies. Dozens of pro-life advocates turned out to support him. He turned down a plea deal and Daleiden’s attorneys and supporters countered that Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson is biased because of her association with an attorney for an abortion practitioner.

Last month, LifeNews chronicled the explosive new evidence showing the Houston district attorney behind the bogus charges against pro-life advocate David Daleiden colluded with attorneys for Planned Parenthood.

According to attorney for Daleiden, District Attorney Devon Anderson shared confidential information with the abortion business, which she was supposed to be investigating for running afoul of state laws prohibiting the purchase or sale of body parts form aborted babies.

Yet, in recent court filings by the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast’s attorney Josh Schaffer admitted in a sworn declaration that the Harris County DA’s office shared evidence with Planned Parenthood. That occurred even after the Texas Attorney General’s office had forbidden Anderson’s office from doing so.

The declaration was included as part of the DA office’s response to David Daleiden’s motion to quash the indictment against him, alleging prosecutorial misconduct.

Under oath, Schaffer, the Planned Parenthood attorney, admitted that he and Assistant District Attorney Sunni Mitchell attempted to do an end-run around the Texas Attorney General’s directive to Mitchell not to share raw video footage with Planned Parenthood: “I was told that the Attorney General’s Office agreed to give it to the HCDAO on the condition that the HCDAO not give it to PPGC. Mitchell told me that she would try to obtain the footage by other means.”

Mitchell was responsible in 2013 for a Grand Jury that failed to indict Houston’s late-term abortionist Douglas Karpen, after photographs and eyewitness testimony implicated him in illegal late-term abortions and killing babies who were born alive after failed abortions.

“The recent filings by the Harris County District Attorney confirm that the DA shared confidential documents and information with abortion provider Planned Parenthood, colluding with it in the prosecution of David Daleiden,” said Thomas More Society Special Counsel, Peter Breen, attorney for David Daleiden.

Breen told LifeNews: “These filings also include evidence that appears to show that the DA’s office worked with Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast to undermine the Texas Attorney General’s independent investigation of that abortion provider. The conduct of Harris County prosecutors in this case is outrageous and illegal. We look forward to pressing our motion to quash this indictment in court.”

This is the second time attorneys from Anderson’s office and Planned Parenthood were accused of working together.

:clap :clap I love it when you find out how some of these district attorney's have liberal agendas and will stoop so low. In my opinion they should be disbarred.

You have never proven that. Besides, they were available un cut for all to see.

Irrelevant of course. you will continue to lie about it anyways.

Re: Judge Dismisses Bogus Charge Against David Daleiden for Exposing Planned Parentho

looks like the ones lying were those gov't prosecutors trying to put a man in jail for something he didn't do.

Be nice to see some outrage over that once in a awhile.

Daleiden still faces one felony charge of using a fake ID to access a Planned Parenthood office in Texas. Time magazine explained back in January how this charge became a felony:

Daleiden and an associate breezed past the building’s metal detector, and allegedly presented as identification a phony California drivers license with the name of an alias, Robert Sarkis. In normal cases, the use of a fake ID would not warrant felony charges; a grand jury would not, for example, throw the book at an underage kid using a phony government ID to pick up a six-pack of beer. But Texas state law includes a provision that elevates this transgression—knowingly using a fake government document—to a second-degree felony if “the intent is to defraud or harm another.” The grand jury decided that Daleiden’s goal was to do just that, by using his cover story to make a covert recording designed to damage Planned Parenthood’s reputation.

Yes all of them
The sherod video, the acorn video. All of them were PROVED to have been doctored. And I do not lie. So don't go there. If I was going to lie it certainly would not be in favor of planned parenthood. As far as I am concerned they can go blow and we certainly shouldn't be funding any of their crap. BUT I still don't think a lie is a good way to initiate the process.

Then why did absolutely none of them result in any charge of PP illegally selling body parts?

not all acts are justified to expose corruption but
Investigative journalist and detectives have done the same type of acts to get information for over 100 years.
this type of' Witch Hunt is why many like Snowden and Wiki leaks founder Assange fled the country.
Because when you expose the dirt of powerful organizations the Gov't often brings the UNJUST weight of EVERY "LAW" down on your instead of those corrupt persons and groups that have been exposed.

kill the messenger

But babies getting their brains and spines cut out and sold well that's OK.. because well it is. BUT a FALSE ID OMG!!!!! criminal!!!! hangins' to good for him!!!

sick.

Not even the Repuglicans in Congress could find any evidence showing they did the illegal things that were claimed...

Let me simplify this for you...

If it's illegal, charge them in court.
If it's not illegal, then change the laws if you can.

Until then, obviously you guys have a problem with abortion and no matter what happens some people will always side against the abortion-provider and with the pro-life group.
No matter what crimes the pro-life people commit in the process... :rolls
