‘Give a prosecutor unlimited time and investigative resources, give him unreviewable discretion, give him several thousand statutes, and give him a single case--and the chances are pretty good that an indictment may emerge somewhere.’ ~ National Review. July 6, 1992.
Exactly. Lawrence Walsh, American lawyer and former judge, along his permanent corps of temporary prosecutors were exempt from a critical part of the checks and balances of the criminal-charging process. Their six year, multi-million dollar waste brought two convictions, both of which were subsequently reversed, in the Iran-Contra matter. In my graphics, we see former President Bush heading for the dog…er…birdhouse with, undoubtedly, the world’s largest sparrows.
