it was certainly not worthy of jail time.

She DARED to say she wanted to go to trial. So they upped the risk to multiple years in prison if she lost. The pressure and fear of being locked up for years (I think it was up to seven?) ramped up with every pre-trial. Eventually she blinked. I think most people would blink. Prosecutors get to brag that they got prison. She gets to be back with her family for the holidays. And that pesky right to a trial where the prosecution actually has to prove something is avoided.

The feds have a 98 percent conviction rate and beating them isn’t easy.

The charges are piled on and you need an expensive lawyer or team of lawyers to fight them.

From what I’ve seen in the last four years your name has to be Bundy to beat the federal prosecutors who in Case 1 in Oregon lost to a fighting lawyer who got tackled and tased by the federal marshals right after the not guilty verdicts in the courtroom.

Then in Bundy Case 2 in Nevada Bunkerville the feds withheld the evidence from defense lawyers proving their innocence. Mistrial and dismissal of charges with prejudice.

Correct. It's all about the egos and power of these prosecutors - it's not about Justice.

There is a saying in the "justice" system: "The Process is the Punishment."

Even if you are wealthy or well off, you cannot hope to compete with the full power of the Almighty State. They wear you down, and force a plea, because they can.

Even if you "win", you will at the very least be out of stacks of money, and at worst financially ruined and in massive debt from legal bills.

We have District Attorneys and Attorney Generals all over this country who are bought and paid for by Soros. They REFUSE to punish the guilty, and punish the innocent by charging people with "crimes" such as self defense. And then back it up with cherry picked and rigged juries.

"Protestors" my eye. Those thugs busted down and iron gate at that couple's home and charged their front door.
