It is typical of this government to prosecute a citizen for something that this government regularly does itself as a matter of policy.

In the case of Stanford, it was in the public interest.

In the case of government, it is self-interest and political survival.

If justice is to be reciprocal, and applied proportionately, this government has no to be in power.
