Monkey business
Re “Prosecutors now target of inquiry,” April 8
There’s an old Chinese saying that applies to bringing criminal charges against the Justice Department lawyers who deliberately and flagrantly violated laws mandating fair trials in their case against former Sen. Ted. Stevens (R-Alaska): “Kill the chicken to scare the monkey.”
As long as there are no genuine consequences to bad behavior, legal monkeys will continue to violate the rights of the citizens.
