    It makes sense though. It’s not an actual trial, just a test to see if the prosecution has strong enough evidence to support an indictment. If not, they keep digging.

      While true, Federal prosecutors historically don’t even bother with charges if they’re not sure of a conviction. This is just explicit evidence that this DOJ is both incompetent and focused on politics not justice.

        Yeah, 100% the system is being abused. But like the Comey thing, they still need to follow the right procedures or it will backfire.
