Why exactly is this a federal case anyway? What is the "crime" that was being investigated?
I continue to be more afraid of over-zealous prosecutors than just about anything else in this country. As far as I can see there is little if any check on their power. The power to subpoena you to death or to get you in a witness chair, ask you all kinds of questions and if your memory is faulty, drag you up on perjury or obstruction of justice.
I beleive if I were ever called to a grand-jury I would just completely blank out. They ask me a question about what my name was I'd say I can't recall. Where are you, can't recall. I have a really bad memory and I have a real problem of being sure about anything.
It is truly kafkaesque. Really frightening to see someone with this much unfettered power running around.
