John Stossel on Corrupt Federal Prosecutors

A group of Washington overlords—federal prosecutors—sometimes break rules and wreck people's lives. President Obama may soon appoint one of them to be America's next Attorney General.
The prosecutorial bullying is detailed in a new book by Sidney Powell, Licensed to Lie. She reports that the Department of Justice's narcissistic and dishonest prosecutors destroy people by doing things like deliberately withholding evidence. When caught, however, these prosecutors aren't fired or jailed, writes John Stossel. No—many are promoted. Washington's overlords protect their own.
