The Government has unlimited resources and abuses the legal system through the threat of prosecution (and actual prosecution) of US Citizens accused of non-violent crimes. These actions pit a powerful Government with unlimited resources against individuals who do not have the financial resources to defend themselves. Faced with the threat of bankruptcy or jail time, people are forced to capitulate to the Government’s demands to save their families. We saw this with Donald Trump’s corrupt special counsel Jack Smith, the J6 crowd indictments (1,000+ people), the corrupt Mueller investigation (Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, Michael Flynn, Rick Gates, George Papadopoulus and others,) Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro for allegedly defying a Congressional subpoena and the list goes on.
The proposal:
If the government brings charges against a US Citizen for a non-violent crime, the government will be required to pay for the legal defense of the accused US Citizen, up front. The US Citizen will be able to select an attorney, or attorneys, of their own choosing and the Government will pay for a number of hours equal to the total hours that Government attorneys and staff use to bring, pursue and prosecute such charges.
