      DOJ memo on Tamir Rice case touts "extensive examination of the facts," omitting how the career prosecutors on the file wanted to use a grand jury to try for an obstruction case & were denied.(This is actually happening now bc statute of limitations for obstruction just ran out.)

    As @ktbenner & I reported in October, DOJ decided by August 2019 not to let the career prosecutors use a grand jury to gather more facts in an effort to build an obstruction case, at which point it knew there'd be no charges. But it hid that decision for another 17 months or so.
