I don’t recall what the FBI claimed. It doesn’t matter if the son was innocent. At $500 to $1500 per hour no one can afford to fight the government. They know this, so even a threat is enough. They won’t have to pay your Bill’s if they lose. The general had to sell his house. He is broke.
The government plays dirty. They play to win. Justice has nothing to do with it.
The government should have to pay the legal fees if they lose - with 20% interest.
