Should The FBI Be Taking Action Against State And County Prosecutors Who Knowingly Withhold Evidence Of Innocence In Criminal Cases?

–With their skills and capabilities to run complex undercover operations and surveillance, the FBI has successfully fought public corruption nationwide for many decades, and also has acknowledged and has held themselves accountable whenever they failed to take action against criminals.

The FBI works with various prosecutors and law enforcement officials on the state and county level to bring about convictions against defendants in criminal cases. State and county prosecutors operate under a judge-made doctrine that covers prosecutors in a close absolute immunity from lawsuits called prosecutorial immunity. Under this judge-made doctrine, prosecutors cannot be sued for any action related to their job as a prosecutor no matter how egregious the behavior. For example, prosecutors cannot be sued for knowingly prosecuting an innocent person, withholding evidence of innocence, or even fabricating false evidence of guilt. Which is all the more reason why the FBI should be taking action against state and county prosecutors who knowingly withhold evidence of innocence in criminal cases, and fabricate false evidence of guilt and knowingly prosecuting innocent people.

State and county prosecutors and local law enforcement officials are sworn to an oath, in part to support the Constitution of the United States, as well as to protect and serve their communities. Prosecutors who knowingly withhold evidence of innocence and fabricate false evidence of guilt and knowingly prosecute innocent people are being dishonest to the FBI who are working with them. Prosecutors who knowingly withhold evidence of innocence and fabricate false evidence of guilt and knowingly prosecute innocent people are being dishonest to the Department of Justice who are working with them. Prosecutors who knowingly withhold evidence of innocence and fabricate false evidence of guilt and knowingly prosecute innocent people are being dishonest to taxpayers who fund their paychecks.

The one and only reason for state and county prosecutors and law enforcement officials to withhold evidence of innocence and fabricate false evidence of guilt and prosecute innocent people is to do so for their own personal gain—financially and status—which is parallel to public corruption—which is a breach of the public’s trust; the use of public office to obtain personal gain.

Thousands of convicted people have been exonerated from prison—found to be innocent because of rogue prosecutors. Thousands of prosecutors knowingly withheld evidence of innocence and fabricated false evidence of guilt and knowingly prosecuted innocent people. The FBI, who is uniquely situated to combat corruption, should be taking action against all of those who knowingly withheld evidence of innocence and fabricated false evidence of guilt and knowingly prosecuted innocent people, as well as those who have egregiously breached the public’s trust—both inside and outside of the courtroom.

Theodore Roosevelt, State of the Union Address, December 7,1903

The exposure and punishment of public corruption is an honor to a nation, not a disgrace. The shame lies in toleration, not in correction…If we fail to do all that in us lies to stamp out corruption we can not escape our share of responsibility for the guilt. The first requisite of successful self-government is unflinching enforcement of the law and the cutting out of corruption.

–Theodore Roosevelt, State of the Union Adress, December 7, 1903
