DOJ's 'Illegally Appointed' Prosecutor: Convenient Oversight?
A federal judge has indeed dismissed criminal cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. The formal reason? The prosecutor was illegally appointed by the Justice Department. This isn't the first time the DOJ's internal mechanics have conveniently malfunctioned when politically sensitive cases threaten to expose uncomfortable truths about those in
power. One might recall similar 'administrative errors' or 'technicalities' shielding powerful figures from accountability when investigations veer too close to elite misconduct. We're expected to believe the Department of Justice, with its legions of legal minds, simply 'oops'ed' a prosecutor's appointment in cases against such prominent figures. Yet, when investigating ordinary citizens or
whistleblowers, such legal meticulousness is rarely so forgiving. The system, it seems, has a remarkably flexible definition of 'due process' when the targets are well-connected and the implications are politically damaging. It's almost as if some investigations are designed to fail from the start, providing an elaborate charade of accountability.
