Quash, anyone?

KSPN-2, the local cable news channel reported tonight that District Judge Alex Munson has quashed the subpoenas for Gov. Benigno R. Fitial and four Corrections officials to appear at a Feb. 17. evidentiary hearing. They haven't posted the streaming video yet, but it can be accessed later through their home page.

The U.S. Attorney's Office said it requested the hearing to discover whether Qing Mei Cheng's transfer under escort from prison to Fitial's residence could have affected her trial on human smuggling charges.

More later... going out the door.

I doubt that this is finished. Lets see what the Feds will do, looks like a Grand Jury indictment is possible. (hope so) for all the players involved. i guess sit back and wait. (like the LT Gov. and friends.
