I wish I could disagree (I’ve been a prosecutor in multiple jurisdictions my entire 33 years of practice to a greater or lesser degree). These days I look purely at the facts before me in deciding whether to prosecute, I wish that had always been the case. I was trained by Air Force prosecutors, too many of whom had the, “If he didn’t do this, he did something else” mantra - one of the reasons that the more rank I got, the more I lobbied for never letting a JAG be a Chief of Military Justice until after an assignment as an Area or Circuit Defense Counsel.

Too many prosecutors (and police) get tunnel vision when they zero in on a suspect and then ignore anything that disturbs that narrative.
In thinking about this issue I can't help but think about Mueller and his BFF's, Comey, Fitzgerald and company. I believe there was a real attempt to corruptly influence the election but it came from within the government, the Clinton campaign and Democrat Party. But Mueller will not investigate any of that, viewing his mission to get Trump or someone near Trump on any charge he can dredge up.
