> The law should be the law. If you allow juries to decide to give “innocent” verdicts even if someone broke it, then congrats you have made a system where the jury gets to decide randomly if they want to enforce something.

This is the world we live in though. Imagine telling someone who is facing life in prison "tough luck but we need to fix the law first".

1. Congress is pretty much deadlocked and has been for decades.

2. This guy, Michael Flynn[flynn], received a presidential pardon.

3. Prosecution routinely uses its "discretion" on which cases to bring forward and what charges it wants to recommend. Police / law enforcement uses its "discretion" as well.

If there is any justice, either this guy should serve his full sentence or we should immediately release anyone and everyone convicted of "lying to federal agents[making false statements]" from prison declaring the insane law null and void.
