The Dallas Morning News reports that Houston-based assistant U.S. attorney Jay Hileman told defense lawyer Richard O. Ely II that he was withdrawing in an email.

Ely is representing one of the defendants in the case, which involves racketeering charges.

Houston defense attorney Katherine Scardino also received the email from Hileman, according to Talking Points Memo.

Prosecutor Cited Security As Reason For Withdrawing From Aryan Brotherhood Of Texas Case

Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Hileman, who has withdrawn from a large federal racketeering case against alleged members of the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas prison gang, cited "security reasons" in an email he sent Monday to defense attorneys involved in the case, according to one lawyer who received the email.

"He sent the email to every lawyer representing a defendant in the Aryan Brotherhood federal case, and he said -- very short email -- that he was withdrawing for security reasons," Houston attorney Katherine Scardino told TPM on Tuesday.

After the recent killings of two prosecutors in Kaufman County, Texas, media reports have made note of the county district attorney's office's role in the investigation of the prison gang. But no material evidence has been found linking the prison gang to the murdered prosecutors. Nevertheless, Scardino said she understood Hileman's decision.

1. When the fuck is AB going to fall under the 'Patriot Act'?

These fuckers are domestic terrorists.

They are easily ID'd.

They could be rounded up and corralled.

Get those fuckers out of the gene pool.

[Moostache]

3. They worship the "right" sky daddy...ain't gonna happen brother.

If these guys were nominal Muslims, they would be in Gitmo or CIA blacksites; but since they are useful here at home in keeping the supposedly illegal drug profits rolling in for laundering at your friendly neighborhood too-big-fail, well, you know...boys will be boys.

Just another incredible hypocrisy in a world figuratively swimming in them.

[cbrer]

17. You got THAT shit straight.

Friends in high places doesn't hurt either...

The morality/policies used by the government that hired that DA, is the equivalent of that being utilized by the AB.

Keep fucking with them and see what happens. How fast can you say "dropped for insufficient evidence".

[meow2u3]

8. Most of them are already in prison

Simple solution to contain them: lock'em all up in solitary--without any access to the outside world, save for their attorneys.

[defacto7]

11. Except the prison guards are in on it too.

Prisons are full of this on both sides of the gate.

[kitt6]

2. Malcomb used to talk about

the blue eyed devil a lot. Well, lets just send in the Drones!

[Andy Stanton]

9. I agree.

Send in the Drones.
There's got to be Drones.

[defacto7]

12. This is probably what the whole drone thing was about to begin with.

Just my uneducated opinion.

[kitt6]

4. The Malcolm X

I am sick of the right and a bunch of punks talking shi*!

[kitt6]

5. I knew them dam things

were going to come in handy some day. That's why I never questioned why.

[kitt6]

6. I can stand a lot

except a bunch of bs. This President knows why he needs what he needs. He is not a fool.

[SCVDem]

7. I guess there aren't enough guns in Texas

to protect the DAs.

So much for any and all NRA arguments on how if everyone were armed we would be safe.

Stay out of our schools!

[drm604]

10. This is serious stuff.

What happens if everyone is afraid to prosecute these guys?

[defacto7]

14. The will be held indefinitly, probably.

They will be prosecuted in one way or another. Maybe without public notice. Scary either way.

[freshwest]

18. The cartels take territory like in Mexico? I still can't believe that would happen, though.

[Hekate]

13. More threats of political assassination

[kitt6]

15. Aryan Brotherhood.

A bunch of bitches getting ready to be wiped-out by Drones!

[kitt6]

16. And let some other little

white punk complain about this President and his arsenal. Walk in his shoes first!

[cartach]

19. Sound familiar?

Thought I was starting to read a story about Mexico.

[formercia]

20. The AB will kill them anyway

Blood in, Blood out.
Once you make your Bones, there's only one way out, regardless of which side they are on.

Q: "What happened to so and so?"
A: "Scotty beamed them up."
