Prosecutors have been given this power by the Supreme Court.

They have absolute immunity from lawsuit if they are doing anything related to "prosecutions".

They can lie.

They can bribe witnesses.

They can have personal conflicts of interest.

The Supreme Court, in the 1970-s - 1980-s held non of that could be grounds for a lawsuit

It is nearly impossible to hold them to account.

Sidney Powell was a Federal prosecutor for 10+ years, she fully understands what they can do and she wrote the book on being critical of the entire Federal Court System.
