Now, there are bad prosecutors out there. People motivated by politics and self interest, but they are the few.

Indeed but even more, even a "bad prosecutor" wants discretion. When a prosecutors become the mere cog in a concocted theater, they are just window dressing and the "parallel constructors" hold all the strings.

I suppose we can take some comfort that even not-perfect people can want democracy because they don't want one person who isn't them holding the strings.
