Using the tools of government law enforcement to reduce and imprison political opposition is crossing the Rubicon to totalitarian government.
It is pure organized crime, no better than sending a hit squad to shoot them.
In a place like Texas that has had a history of resisting tyrants with violence, it would seem like an exceedingly dangerous game.
Someone who can easily see that you want to imprison them for opposing you politically might just decide to blow out your lamp to repay the favor. Id love to be on that jury.
There are ways to deal with this.
Yes. Prosecutors have been given blanket immunity by the Supreme Court. They can collude with “witnesses” to put forward false testimony to grand juries. They can drop charges, just shot of trial, and refile them, over and over, to bankrupt political “enemies”.
They can pursue personal vendettas this way.
And the Supreme Court has ruled that they are immune from prosecution for it.
