Via Sherrilyn Ifill:
For a prosecutor to announce plans to launch retaliatory, partisan political prosecutions is a violation of their oath of office. To do so runs afoul of @ABAesq standards for prosecutors, the Code of Prof. Responsibility, the bar rules of their state.
So what are their names?
Aaron Rupar:
James #Comer on Fox & Friends says he took calls yesterday from county attorneys in KY and Tenn. who are eager to "go after the Bidens" to retaliate for the #TrumpIndictment #legal
@GottaLaff How many porn stars did Biden pay off in KY?
But, sure. They get witnesses who bring the receipts, they get a properly-assembled grand jury, they get an actual on-the-books crime committed prior to or after holding office, they provide opportunity for witnesses speaking for the accused to address the grand jury, etc., then, if they get an indictment, let it happen.
This is not a probable scenario. I have a gift for understatement.
I'm sure most powerful people have bent or broken the law during their careers. Very, very, few of them have done it as stupidly and as often as Trump, or left such obvious trails of evidence.
But if criminally-inclined office seekers were *deterred* from running, knowing that any crimes they committed and got away with (so far) would be investigated thoroughly... would that be a *bad* thing? Maybe running for office should not be considered a logical next step for the corrupt?
