the DOJ are wimps that wont take a case if its hard to win
Taking on losing cases is a waste of time and resources. There isn’t even a moral victory to be had in a loss. Even if the accused was actually guilty, their win will be used as vindication and often proof that they did not do the crime. It’s a bad idea all around.
Pursuing justice is never a bad idea. What you have here is the DOJ being afraid to do that because of politics, and because they want to keep their 90%+ conviction rate.
The fact that he committed the crime isn’t even really in dispute. It will just be hard to overcome the politics, so they gave up.
