And obviously, if the public starts to perceive that prosecutors are bringing cases for reasons other than a professional assessment that a probable crime has been committed by the suspect, we may start to see more charges rejected.

That is what the ex-prosecutor on Amanpour last night was warning about: the loss of credibility by the DOJ, from pursuing Trump's political revenge cases. Then what? Take a page from Bush #43's book, and tag everyone as an "enemy combatant", to get around Constitutional guarantees? The Bush junta held Jose Padilla, a US citizen and a civilian, arrested in the US, in a military prison, for about thee and a half years, before transferring him to a civilian prison and filing charges against him. Padilla was an unsavory character, but, if they can do it to him, they can do it to any of us.
