Were Witnessing the Corruption of Justice

Lawfare: Corruption of the justice system has two major elements. The firstat issue in the Ukraine scandalis the use of state power to go after ones enemies. The other is the ability to restrain government power to reward ones friends and allies.
A dramatic display of this latter power took place today, Feb. 11, when the U.S. Department of Justice, having articulated in court its view of an appropriate sentence for President Trumps associate Roger Stoneconvicted recently on multiple felony countsconfronted an angry presidential tweet and then meekly reversed course in a second filing.
Kim Wehle: Of course, this presidents abuse of the massive powers of his office will continue because he knows that there is no one within the federal government who is able or willing to stop him.
