Their work is to destroy people. There are some stories that we tell to excuse or justify it, but nonetheless that’s what they do.

And you're basically immune from the law if you work for the prosecutor's office. If you see a prosecutor commit a crime who do you report it to? Who would prosecute it?

I remember one time I witnessed a prosecutor committing clear perjury in a criminal case. I reported it to the prosecutor's office (LOL!). I reported it to the body responsible for handling complaints against lawyers in my state. The prosecutor got himself legal representation to defend himself. He admitted the perjury to the body, but they said he'd confessed it was "accidental perjury" and therefore they would not take any action. (The definition of perjury is knowingly lying under oath). I saw a photo of the man this week, he was opening a courthouse and he is now a state senator.

Until you get to the president, there's always a superior office. If a district attorney committed a crime, the state AG could prosecute them.

The most distressing thing about it is when there is some revelation of their misconduct, they act like it’s no big deal and they do this nonchalant “I was just trying to administer justice” charade. It really rubs me the wrong way.
