Sloppy reporting or is Corsi just incapable of playing it straight? Individuals do not file criminal complaints... only prosecuting agencies file criminal complaints

I just looked this up, as I had always thought an individual could file a criminal complaint. You are incorrect, an individual can make a criminal complaint. This procedure varies, according to the statutes of various states.

“Individuals do not file criminal complaints... only prosecuting agencies file criminal complaints.”

From Wikipedia:

“A criminal complaint must state the facts that constitute the offense and must be supported by Probable Cause. It may be initiated by the victim, a police officer, the district attorney, or another interested party.”

"...only prosecuting agencies file criminal complaints..."

That has long seemed to be possible Obstruction of Justice to me.
