How are criminal cases being improperly handled according to former U.S. attorneys?

According to Barbara McQuade and former U.S. attorneys, it's appalling that criminal cases are being suggested for dismissal simply to gain political advantage. They emphasize that criminal prosecution has a non-transactional nature, meaning cases should not be treated as political bargaining chips. This group wanted to clarify to the American public that dismissing cases for political reasons fundamentally undermines how justice should work. The conversation highlights the contrast between traditional prosecution practices that maintain legal integrity and the concerning political pressures now being observed in the justice system.
