I don’t think that’s equivalent. An attorney isn’t obstructing justice, they are a crucial part of the system, there to ensure that the accused gets a fair trial and that any possibility of them being innocent is taken into consideration. Even if they’re defending an obvious criminal.
These people aren’t part of the justice system. They’re blocking the release of information surfaced under a criminal investigation because they know that its release will impact them negatively, and they’re already not exactly popular.
I see you've never been in the same building as a prosecutor.
The discussion was about defense attorneys.
Unspecified. The one the context suggests, yes but they're using suspiciously broad language so as to support the concept of legal process as synonymous with justice.
I think that much broader implication is fucked up and wrong, and needed a gentle correction that could re-specify their meaning to only the narrow context under discussion.
This has been enlightening to all, and not at all tedious. Thank you.
No, further up, before that.
Lick whatever boots you like, but dont bother me about it again.
Huh?
