What has happened to the US Attorney's Office?

It's not just at the federal level. Prosecutor over-reach seems rampant. It must have something to do with promotions... Those cases were pushed forward due to political, rather than legal reasons. Edwards clearly did stuff wrong, at least ethically, and morally. What is/was really, really vague is whether he actually violated the campaign laws. Probably because the laws were written by politicians, who like the laws to be really, really vague when they apply to politicians.
