I agree with you. My post was merely to point out the prosecutorial misconduct that occurred in both cases.

And thanks for the clarification and elucidation of the difference between the two prosecutors. I learned from your post.

Thanks again. ‘Pod.

Yes, I got it, sorry if my post seemed a bit like a rant. It's just that, as I described, I feel that both chronologically and historically Fitzgerald's case supersedes Nifong's, and so, by far, my preferred way of conveying your sentiment would be Mike Nifong (or so-and-so) is Fitzgerald in a different suit. :~)

Another reason why I feel it's important to put Fitzgerald front and center in comparisons and lessons like these is that, unlike some other unaccountable out-of-control zealous prosecutors, who are willing to abuse their power and engage in prosecutorial misconduct to advance their personal and professional standing or their political views and goals, Fitzgerald didn't get the same kind of exposure on cable TV 24/7 (as Nifong did), and his "investigation" was not scrutinized or overseen by either Congress or DoJ... Comey before leaving, as a "parting gift", appointed David Margolis from DoJ to "oversee" the "investigation", but by that time the process was almost over.

Thanks for your kind words.
