Apart from Fani Willis and her specific misconduct in the Trump case, there is a need for better supervision and training of prosecutors and for the development of standards by which their actions can be evaluated.

Liberals used to see that, with conservatives tending to resist as a matter of reflex, but there is genuine merit to better administrative oversight of one of the most powerful and consequential functions of government. Otherwise, in its absence, abuses are hard to detect and remedy before they do great harm to the criminal justice process and individuals who are ensnared in it.

The terms "rogue prosecutor," "racist prosecutor," "corrupt prosecutor," and "prosecutorial abuse" are valid and not simply figments of the imaginations of criminal defense lawyers. So also are "lazy prosecutor" and "over-worked prosecutor" valid terms and not the mere invention of conservative propaganda. I have enough experience as a lawyer and in politics to be able to give specific and true examples of all of them.

I hope that if Trump is re-elected, his new administration will press for long needed reforms of the criminal and civil justice systems. In an odd way that liberals refuse to see, Trump is a persecuted and sympathetic figure, a cousin so to speak of defendants who have evidence planted on them and deprived of a fair hearing in court. I surmise that at least some of Trump's minority and blue collar support comes from that -- and that Trump knows it.

“... “rogue prosecutor,” “racist prosecutor,” “corrupt prosecutor,” an”d “prosecutorial abuse” are valid”
As are the terms “rogue judge”, “racist judge”, “corrupt judge”.
They exist all the way up to, and including the highest court in the USA.
