The DOJ can still use prolonged investigations and litigation to get plea deals ie lawfare. That’s why we need jury nullification across the board for as many federal cases against the people as possible. The Feds have a 95+ win rate. That must change in order to rein in these political prosecutions and reduce power of prosecutors.
The jury in DC and many liberal areas will be largely liberals. But, all it takes is one conservative holdout to force the persecution to either give up or go for another trial. This will still bankrupt the defendant.
