Being a federal prosecutor isn't just a job, it's a privileged position of power. It's not someplace where you bumble through law school and wind up arguing to put people away for life; all of these people competed to get where they are now. These are people who went to elite law schools and worked hard at being the sort of people that rise up the ranks in a federal D.A.'s office. And one of the things that goes with the unbridled power to decide who to indict and what charges will be brought; is the responsiblity to use that power appropriately. Anyone who does not understand that responsibility should not be allowed to pass the bar, much less be handed the power to ruin lives with relative impunity.
