The Disturbing Secrets of "Federal Persecutors"
Radix News ^ | October 22, 2014 | John Stossel

A group of Washington overlords — federal prosecutors — sometimes break rules and wreck people’s lives. President Obama may soon appoint one of them to be America’s next Attorney General.

The prosecutorial bullying is detailed in a new book by Sidney Powell, “Licensed to Lie.”

She reports that the Department of Justice’s narcissistic and dishonest prosecutors destroy people by doing things like deliberately withholding evidence.

Remember the Arthur Andersen accounting firm?

It was killed off by ambitious prosecutors who claimed the company helped Enron commit accounting fraud and then shredded the evidence.

But instead of charging people who allegedly ordered evidence destroyed, the DOJ indicted the entire company. That destroyed the accounting firm. Publicly traded companies cannot do business with companies under criminal investigation, so Andersen lost most of its clients.

It was part of W’s campaign to establish the federal government as the center of the economy and our lives.

I notice from Wiki that AA’s conviction was vacated by the SCOTUS.

If they don’t like you they well destroy you even if they can’t convict you.

I would like to be on these juries. I am sure I would not be allowed to serve, because I would give them my opinion, and I would be gone in 30 seconds. I am beginning to despise all federal bureaucrats. I can't possibly be alone can I?
