There lived an old farmer who had worked in his fields for many, many years. One day, his horse bolted away. His neighbors dropped in to commiserate with him. “What awful luck,” they said sympathetically, to which the farmer only replied, “We’ll see.”
Next morning, to everyone’s surprise, the horse returned, bringing with it three other wild horses. “How amazing is that!” they exclaimed in excitement. The old man replied, “We’ll see.”
A day later, the farmer’s son tried to mount one of the wild horses. He was thrown on the ground and broke his leg. Once more, the neighbors came by to express their sympathies for this stroke of bad luck. “We’ll see,” said the farmer politely.
Never trust a former federal prosecutor. Now and then an honest one slips through, but that rule is right 90% of time. Feds will gladly frame people if it gets them a press release. They are politicians. Billions (the show) is actually really accurate on that.
FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith fabricated evidence in a FISA warrant because that’s normal. He never expected to get caught, and wouldn’t have if Devin Nunes hadn’t dug.
Clinesmith didn’t go to prison though.
That’s how the system works. Don’t trust anyone saying otherwise.
Years ago a report came out showing that even in cases where Federal Judges reported prosecutorial by Feds, DOJ covered it up. Feds don’t get disbarred either.
But they’ll kick in doors and make the names of innocent people public forever.
