In the Alec Baldwin case it seems to me the important people at the office took on the case because it was so high profile. They screwed it up because of their inexperience with actually doing any work.

Could be the same thing happening with this case.

    And after the DoJ historically having a 99%+ success rate in front of Grand Juries, this administration has had loss after loss, absolutely unprecedented.

    They don't even get a chance to learn from their mistakes, because they just blame their losses on liberals, somehow. They are convinced that they are right in their legal strategies, so they keep on the same path, despite going over the same cliff, every time.

    We all know that's because Trump insists on the DOJ following his orders even though he doesn't understand the law, right?

    Under qualified Presidents, the DOJ was expected to maintain high standards of ethics and follow the law. That meant bringing indictments with enough evidence to win cases and not prosecuting cases when the evidence didn't support them.

    Under the current clown-shoes administration, the DOJ is expected to bring indictments against anyone who hurt Little Donny's feelings, regardless of the evidence. And (at least for now) the rest of the judicial system is still following the law, which means that those cases get no traction.
