From the article:

"In what some Planned Parenthood detractors will surely decry as a
miscarriage of justice, a grand jury charged with investigating whether the group sold fetal tissue has instead opted to indict the people who filmed the undercover videos that launched the investigation in the first place."

More like prosecutorial misconduct, by way of running interference for planned parenthood.

The Harris County District Attorney’s office on Tuesday dismissed all charges against anti-abortion activists who secretly videotaped Planned Parenthood officials in Houston.

David Robert Daleiden and Sandra Merritt were charged with tampering with a governmental record, for using a fake identification to gain access to the facility. In a surprise move before a hearing on the legitimacy of the indictment, prosecutors dismissed the charges.

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.

But hey, there was no intent, I'm sure, so it's all good.

he's right, it is disgusting. and how is this evidence of small government? the gop says all the time they don't want govt in peoples' daily lives, that they don't want a lot of regulation.
and then they get into a battle like this, and then there's the constant attempts at restricting reproduction rights-which is a huge intrusion on peoples daily lives.

Its a damn shame, but happens so often. A charity gets so auccessful that it becomes more interested in itself then in the work.
Perhaps a limit should be placed on charities overhead to keep 501 status?

)—The FBI arrested 46 current and former correction officers in a sting at nine facilities around Georgia, as a result of a two-year undercover operation went down early Thursday with raids by FBI at the prisons.

The indictments revealed "staggering corruption within Georgia Department of Corrections institutions," said John Horn, the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia.

Among those arrested were five members of an elite squad aimed at busting up drug dealing in prison, called the Cobra unit. Also rounded up in the bust were two civilians and one inmate.



The probe found that prison guards and staff were smuggling contraband such as liquor, tobacco and cell phones into the cell blocks for money. Inmates used the illegal cell phones to commit wire fraud, money laundering and identify theft
