Not defeatism. Merely accepting the reality that prosecutions occur or don”t occcur based on the politics. Charging some schmoe has little political risk. Charging Her Thighness is a huge political risk. Like finding a horse’s head under your covers kind of risk.
Heroic prosecutors that go up against the powers that be are a hollywood myth.
Politics is the aggregate of relationships of people in society. PEOPLE.
We The People outnumber our agents. We create the political force. Defeatists should stay quiet and not spread their weakness and weaken our aggregate force.
