This is simply a new administration saying "we wish a prior administration had not prosecuted this" and that CANNOT be the standard for vacating a criminal conviction.
The government does not have to defend the appeal. But there's no basis for granting dismissal
When asked what “Gins” stood for, Russell said that “if he had to take a guess, it was Justice Ginsburg.” J.A. 363. The agents hadn’t yet mentioned the Justice’s name in the interview. Russell also “guessed” that the agents were speaking with him “because someone had taken a screenshot of Justice Ginsburg’s medical record.” J.A. 367. Russell insisted that he didn’t know how his credentials had been used to run the “Gins” and “Ginston” searches. But he theorized that “potentially his cat had run across the keyboard and typed in those letters.” J.A. 364. He also suggested that the searches could be typos or that a coworker may have used his login information.
4th Cir. affirms conviction of hospital contractor who accessed Justice Ginsburg's medical files from his home computer, a screenshot of which was subsequently posted on 4Chan and then Twitter.
He eventually blamed his cat for running a search for "Gins".

![Olson presents two opposing arguments, both of which lack merit. He starts by arguing that “Missouri’s expungement framework allows individuals with expunged records to nevertheless be liable for unlawful possession of a firearm.” The expungement statute once required expunged conviction records to be “destroy[ed].” § 610.140.6 (effective Aug. 28, 2012). But in 2018, Missouri’s General Assembly amended the statute, requiring expunged conviction records to be “close[d]” and permitting law enforcement agencies to use an expunged conviction “as a prior offense, violation, or infraction.” Id. § 610.140.7, .12 (effective Jan. 1, 2018). These amendments — so the argument goes — now permit felon-inpossession charges in Missouri to be predicated on an expunged felony. This argument verges on frivolous. For one, the Missouri Supreme Court has twice stated Missouri’s felon-in-possession law “does not apply to felony convictions that have been pardoned or expunged . . . .”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:24vva42nxim6zbcmnozegoef/bafkreie3uaxbpm3g3q733uxairhvpamvmnsfe2jqqgk6oemgh2lkoudhsu)

Friends, is it bad when the Court says your argument verges on the frivolous?
Cunningham had a felony conviction in Missouri that was expunged in November 2021. About six months later, he was rear-ended on his way to work in Springfield, Missouri, and MSHP Trooper Amanda Kahler responded. Kahler noticed a handgun in Cunningham’s car, so she contacted her dispatcher to check Cunningham’s criminal history. The dispatcher then provided her with Cunningham’s criminal history report, which was maintained by the MSHP. Cunningham’s report listed his prior conviction along with “a small notation” that the conviction was “**Closed Pursuant to Chapter 610 RSMo**.” But the MSHP does not train its troopers to understand that this notation denotes an expunged conviction. So despite the notation, Kahler arrested Cunningham for possessing a firearm as a convicted felon. See Mo. Rev. Stat. § 571.070.1(1). When Cunningham told her his conviction was expunged, Kahler responded that “she was aware of the expungement statute and its implications” but “had to rely on the information from the criminal history report.”
8th Cir. holds it was clearly established law that it would violate the Fourth Amendment for state troopers to fail to give effect to the expungement of a prior felony conviction when arresting for felon-in-possession.
No QI for trooper superintendent.
