Did you see the news today? Michael Flynn's criminal case was dropped by the Justice Department. The President immediately stated that he did not know that it was about to happen. Also, the lead prosecutor removed himself from the case just prior to the announcement. The submission to the court was not signed by any career prosecutor. It was signed by a political appointee. This shows there was a criminal element inside the Trump campaign and now inside the White House. This has lead to the hollowing out of the structure and institutional memory of the our legal system. Look, I am no fan of the American legal system. It has been used to control, subjugate, and terrorize Black people for centuries. Our problem, there is nothing better to turn to so we attempt to work the system. The incarceration rate (38% of prisoners are Black, while Blacks make up 13.4% Americans) is an indicator that demonstrates this strategy is a straight loser. Now the head of the justice department overrides all of the lawyers who have worked for years to make the system "equal for all". He is the hand picked and appointed henchman of the President. He decides who will be prosecuted regardless of the evidence or the process to gather it.
