Weekly civic intelligence report · v2.2
Federal prosecutors dropped charges against a woman accused of threatening to kill Trump. This represents a prosecutorial decision that may indicate selective enforcement patterns.
A-score: Low constitutional damage (3.97). Prosecutorial discretion to drop charges is routine and reversible. Rule_of_law scored 2.5 for potential selective enforcement concerns, but single case lacks pattern evidence. Mechanism modifier 1.15 for enforcement_action. Federal scope with narrow population yields 0.95 modifier. Severity reduced (durability 0.8) as individual prosecutorial decisions are common and don't establish precedent. B-score: High distraction value (26.43). Strong outrage_bait (7) and media_friendliness (8) due to Trump name and threat narrative. Layer 2 elevated by pattern_match (8) fitting 'two-tier justice' narratives and narrative_pivot (7) enabling multiple interpretations. Intentionality moderate (7) - Trump association guarantees amplification. D-score: -22.46 strongly negative indicates List B classification.
Monitor for pattern: Track similar threat case dispositions across administrations to determine if this represents actual selective enforcement or routine prosecutorial discretion. Single data point insufficient for constitutional concern.
