Federal criminal prosecution is not beanbag. The courts have ruled many times that prosecutors, FBI agents and police may lie, cheat, threaten, intimidate, coerce and deceive to extract cooperation and obtain evidence from witnesses. This is the dark side of the criminal justice system. It requires a strong stomach. It can be used against even the president.

A mild correction, but key: it ain’t a “criminal justice system”; that’d be the zenith of hubris. What we’ve got is a “criminal LEGAL system” and that’s all it is.
