I think even the dumbass trump doj know this. Its part of their playbook to push the norms and keep getting away with it as they implement their temu fascism.
Legal Eagle had a good take on this a few days ago. The Trump admin is relying purely on sensational headlines. They just want to make the news saying an arrest has been made and also to post pictures on social media. They don’t actually care if it gets thrown out before trial, because the intimidation works even without a conviction.
