Taking care of their own - Michigan

Unreal - from the London Daily Mail:

Flint officials will not face racketeering charges over poison water crisis after Michigan AG disbanded prosecution team who had been building the case for three years

• • Michigan state attorney general Dana Nessel disbanded the prosecution team
  • The team had filed 15 charges against state officials over nearly three years
  • Many of the officials were reindicted on various charges for their role in the crisis
  • But the racketeering charges filed against at least four officials were dropped
  • Financing for the bungled water supply switch is thought to be fraudulent
  • It is believed over 100,000 Flint residents were affected by the water poisoning
  • Around 20,000 children were affected, with many suffering major health issues

And this about the team and the work they had been doing:

The team had already filed criminal charges against 15 Michigan state and Flint city officials, including four officials charged with financial fraud thought to be behind the public health scandal in which up to 100,000 people were poisoned with tainted water.

So it was corrupt politics as usual and the people being investigated had "their friends" put in a word.  The charges were dropped.  This level of corruption and protection against incompetence has extended throughout our Nation.  The rotten tree needs to be pruned waaay back if not completely uprooted.
