Our govt is corrupt on every level. Corruption does not start at the state level or the national level. It starts at the local level including corrupt prosecutors determined to have a conviction, their bonuses, their promotions, and reelections; and caring little for the innocent caught in their snares. There is a reason why we have the highest incarceration rate in the world and it is because we have more criminally inclined citizens in this country. We have entirely lost sight of the fact that our founding fathers were extremely concerned about an unjust govt tormenting the citizens with cruel and unjust punishment, the idea of the presumption of innocence which is supposed to be the bedrock of our criminal justice system has been utterly forgotten.

Worth repeating. The level of corruption in our government is far greater than just about anyone is willing to admit.
Utterly corrupt, Regardless of party, which are just two sides of one criminal organization.
