When the prosecution does something to benefit themselves at the expense of a defendant they get a promotion.

Anytime a news outlet prints "facts" from the prosecution it should be considered fake news. Facts should be checked before they are printed by reporters regardless of the source. <br />Just as "Pizzagate" seems ludicrous to us, defendants reading a news report of the facts of their "crime" feel the same way. Crimes that never occurred are broadcasted for the region to affect a desired outcome, which has been very successful to date. <br />The government has been using fake news to convict defendants as long as there has been newsprint. Its time for us to realize this is an affront to democracy just as any fabricated news story coming from a Balkan country trying to influence our elections. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-56811370315174968292016-12-17T19:21:44.163-05:002016-12-17T19:21:44.163-05:00The truth is politicians do things right the major...The truth is politicians do things right the majority of the time, they don't get credit for doing hard work, unpopular work. When you can help a constituent your a hero, when you can't your a bum. Politicians come up through the ranks,starting out usually volunteering,doing the back breaking grunt work, pounding the pavements to get votes to make life better for people and bettering their surroundings.<br /><br /> Its a thankless job, you have no life to yourself, always on call. People think nothing of taking your time 24 hours a day 365 days a year, for a salary equal to a tenured teacher, even though most people think that they should dictate what you make. Try telling another professional they make too much money, and that everyone should have a say in your salary. In other professions people have time to themselves, not politicians and not their families who are always in jeopardy. <br /><br />I suggest cleaning out the prosecutors at federal buildings and have them live the life of a politician. I think the world needs more Chris Christies' and Seth Williams' who have shown us what self serving politicians really look like.<br /><br />Nothing will change unless the media does an about face and starts treating politicians the way they want to be treated, with respect. Our government, through the media, has taught us all how to behave, we kick one another when we are down, and accuse one another of crimes that may and may not have been committed.<br />America is getting what it deserves, its so willing to believe that all politicians are crooks, as its been told to us the prosecution, we salivate waiting for the next victim to be eaten by the lions. <br /><br />No ,I cant advise the going into politics, not any time soon, unless you plan on spending time in prison and having your children visit you there.My suggestion go into a "safe" profession, like being a prosecutor or an Inky reporter.

Issue is where will we find replacements for deceased great leaders if apathy sets in where people won't give a damn about doing something right or making a contribution to society through good leadership. Ethical behavior is important lest you have people stealing money.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12578737874188115992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-6029252897674308662016-12-16T21:49:34.878-05:002016-12-16T21:49:34.878-05:00No politician in America would ever be able to rec...No politician in America would ever be able to receive a fair trial in this political climate, they are the most discriminated upon profession in our country today. The media has very little by way of a kind word or support for politicians.<br /> One should have their head examined before serving in politics, you are jail bate,do anything else, giving up your life to help others is not worth it, you risk losing your reputation and everything you own and subject your family to scorn. Its open season on politicians year round. <br /><br />Unless politicians start a campaign counterattacking their treatment by the media ,the abuse will continue. I would suggest as mandatory community service for high schools and those in college, volunteering at the city or state level to see how real life politics operates. Sitting on you couch and passing judgement on another profession shows ignorance.

Does he just come in late and look at the prosecutions notes. He missed obvious facts pointed out by Big Trial, as in Mr.Miller sat through a month long trial and that he was not going to change his mind just because everyone wanted him to do so. <br /><br />This is the same reporter that supposedly sat through weeks of the Traffic Court trial and missed the FBI agent getting caught lying and the entire closing arguments were the attorneys referenced the agents egregious behavior.<br />It might be time to change up the reporter here, missing large gaps in any testimony or deciphering a memorandum correctly should disqualify him from reporting important facts correctly to readers. <br />His propensity to side with the prosecution clouds his ability to be fair and impartial. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
