Here’s how the feds win: They outspend you and freeze your assets. That’s your “justice” system in a tweet.
I’d shovel shit before I’d prosecute anyone. I don’t fear karma or believe in any laws of the universe, but even with that thinking, I fear an angry god would do the worst to me to me for being involved in “taking folks out” in our “justice system.”
It’s like being a Cowboys fan, or rooting for the Empire in Star Wars.

See how quickly you gave up the pretense that the prosecution was political? That was easy!
