I have seen prosecutors act like complete slime balls - from both parties.

Intimidating witnesses - misrepresenting evidence - omitting counter-evidence - over-charging defendants - denying timely access to council.

If you think this is about politics - you are mistaken. You just haven't seen all the other times defendants have been mistreated in court.

I'm not talking about defendant and DAs (which I agree with you about). I'm talking about a political party and elected officials (including a governor in this case, recently a president) actively trying to shut down the free press.
