20. It just seems like this has been happening too often.

Prosecutors offering plea deals to these Trump-adjacent criminals that hinge on them offering assistance in further prosecutions -- and then no prosecutions come from them. And these alleged criminals get off easier than they would otherwise have. That does not seem like justice being done to me. If you know the criminals you do catch aren't reliable enough to be witnesses and they cannot provide you further information to prosecute others, stop offering them sweetheart deals and just prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.
