T.J., I left the same comment on LI and in my restack. This is a very important matter. I want people to understand just how important impartiality and dispassionate analysis is and should be to prosecutors with respect to every case — politically charged or not.

And as a friend and former colleague, I’m eager to read this book.

As federal prosecutors, we know the number one duty of prosecuting cases is to approach each matter and each defendant dispassionately. With no assumptions, agendas, or political motivations.

I have long held doubts and suspicions about how this matter was approached, and those suspicions intensified when I attended a Civil Rights Prosecution Seminar at the National Advocacy Center.

Much of the seminar centered on this very case, and the speakers mainly consisted of various prosecutors in Minnesota and D.C. I was shocked at the cavalier attitude toward a host of weighty factors related to the investigation and prosecutorial discretion and the questionable ethics reflected in that process.

In my career, I was called both a “Nazi right wing thug from the Bush Justice Department” and a “Bleeding heart left wing animal rights activist from the Obama Justice Department.”

That always suggested to me I was doing it right.

Each case. Each defendant. Process based on evidence and layered proof that leads to sound prosecutorial decision-making free from political influence.

That’s the job, regardless of what the public thinks.

I have been involved with the matter of Derek Chauvin's railroading from the beginning. I did demonstration videos that showed there was no way that the restraint killed George Floyd. The videos on Rumble and my commentaries on American Thinker track with your assertions about the matter.

I really hope that your research and reasoning will help build a truth narrative that cannot be ignored by the press. This will have to happen before any retrial or pardon can undo the injustice of Chauvin’s conviction.

Thanks for the research, friend! My book is ordered and I'm anxious to read your work.

Fantastic, thanks Harvey. The story is incredible and the facts are damning for the prosecution.

Wish I could say I'm surprised. Encouraging though! Everywhere I turn I see evidence that America hasn't gone totally to crap. But much of America's leadership has... which can be changed over time if we set our minds to it.
