I’d have to ask you, as I tend to do with those who are impatient for ‘justice:’ How many prosecutions have you put together, and how successful were they?
And remind y’all that ‘the wheels of justice grind exceedingly slow but exceedingly fine.’
Today an improperly assembled prosecution tends to unravel on seemingly minor technicalities.
Actually, after I retired from the Army, I worked for the FBI and then DoJ for 11 years coordinating support to high-level interagency (FBI, DEA, USCS, etc.) investigations (primarily terrorism investigations) and helping US Attorneys and AUSAs prepare for prosecution. So, a simple answer to your question is, “Quite a few”, but I’m not sure exactly how many.
As to success, 100%, but, honestly, most of them were pled out because my team was very, very good. And, just as a reference point, only one of those investigations took more than 13 or 14 months to go to prosecution. That one, however, also involved official corruption at the federal level and never did go to prosecution. Not that I was surprised, mind you (see “Operation White Tiger”).
