Santa Fe DA: Alec Baldwin May Face Charges in "Rust" Killing
Update to Nord Stream Story: European MP Thanks the US for Blowing Up Nord Stream Pipelines

The Santa Fe DA requested $635,500 from New Mexico to prosecute up to four people in four separate trials. Which doesn't seem like a lot of money for four trials to me, but I guess most of the people involved are already on salary.

She says that Alec Baldwin is a "possible" defendant among the four, though she did not name the defendants.

Alec Baldwin may soon face criminal charges for allegedly firing the round that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of "Rust" as the Santa Fe Sheriff's Office prepares to release its final investigative report on the shooting, documents obtained by The Post show.

Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies filed an emergency request for $635,500 from New Mexico's Board of Finance so her office would have the funds necessary to prosecute up to four people in connection with the incident, a copy of the request states.

She didn't disclose who those four people are but noted in the request "one of the possible defendants is well known movie actor Alec Baldwin" and the prosecution could require up to four separate jury trials, the document states.

I don't think he'll be charged. She said "up to four people." I think it will be fewer than that, and Alec Baldwin won't be among them.

This suggests maybe she's contemplating a media circus trial, which of course suggests Alec Baldwin as a defendant:

In the request, Carmack-Altwies said the funding is necessary because there's not enough money in the office's budget to prosecute such a high-profile case and attend to other cases already on the docket.

The cash would be used to contract an "additional, more qualified" attorney with 26 years of experience as a prosecutor who could "devote her full time and attention to this matter."

The office would also need to tap a special investigator, paralegal, media spokesperson and numerous experts on firearms, firearm handling on movie sets and safety protocols on movie sets, the document states.

If the funding is denied, "the entire community will be affected," Carmack-Altwies argued.

But I think maybe she thinks that anyone from the movie will create major media interest. It won't. It will create minor-to-medium media interest.

I just don't think the rich and connected face justice in America.

Say, has anyone in Gisele Maxwell's client list been prosecuted? Have their names even been released? No? Guarded like the Crown Jewels of American's national security secrets, huh?

Update to Nord Stream story:

A European MP from Poland has... thanked the US for blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines.

It occurs to me that Russia would have a reason to blow up their own pipe -- to contrive a justification for using nuclear weapons, which they've been talking about doing more and more.

Update: This c**t is the husband of warmongering anti-American neoliberal globalist c**t Anne Applebaum. See Personal Life at entry's end.

And he's trying to provoke an actual hot nuclear shooting war between Russia and the United States.

Thanks to mr. tmz for that.
