The federal judge granted the motion. The Imperial County DA did not appeal. If we lost the dismissal motion, it would have been a state court prosecution conducted by the DA in federal court, federal jury, federal rules of evidence (but state law instructions).
The US attorney's office did not help the DA, who had to get a PACER account and file a response to our dismissal motion. (A federal agent is entitled to dismissal if s/he can show their action was "necessary and proper" to carry out their federal duty, even if performed negligently.) /2

Incorrect. Hegseth's tweet was poorly drafted. The code he invoked provides the officer a "reasonable opportunity to respond regarding the basis for the reopening of the officer's retired grade." 10 USC 1370(f)(4).
