I agree.

Did you follow the Wisconsin abuse of the John Doe prosecution of the staff of governor Walker?

It finally was ended after years of weaponization of the legal system there against political opponents.

I see similarities here.

Not closely, but did from time to time.

Most of the abuse there was search and seizure of evidence.

To the extent that DA and courts perpetrate and facilitate corrupt practices, yes. The courts in Wisconsin were part of the problem.

Here is a motion in an unrelated Texas case, arguing that defendant's indictment was deficient. It cites numerous precedents. Few accused will have the resources, expertise and desire to poke holes in corrupt legal practices perpetrated by prosecutors with the help and endorsement of courts, and courts/judges give prosecutors total leeway in fixing deficient charges. The longer the falsely accused is in the legal system, the better. The worst that comes to the prosecutor and judge is an admonishment. Absolute immunity.
