Melodi
Disaster Cat
On my first day after I was hired for a new job at the US Attorney's Office (but hadn't started yet) Leslie was at a Bardic Circle and play especially for me a song about working in the Civil Service with a chorus that said:
"Yo, ho, ho and we drowned him in the paper sea!"
My boss grew to absolutely hate that song, but I just couldn't stop humming it a lot of the time I worked there.
This is EXACTLY what the PROSECUTORS have been "ORDERED" to do in this case, it may not be Federal but State offices can work the same way. Anyone who thinks Departments of "Justice" is totally independent operators who take cases based on the merits of the law is either extremely ignorant or just plain deluded.
Most of the time they decide to take cases based on what is political the "in" thing to prosecute - when I was there this was evil drugs (the office motto was "Zero Tolerance" and no I didn't buy the t-shirts) and evil protestors that got in the way of the Bush One radar.
Right now it is anything that makes "Trump" or "Deploables" look bad and the Woke Agenda/Biden Administration look "good."
This case is really so full of holes that my hunch is there actually were "orders" from on-high to prosecute (it reminds me of Richard Jewel in some ways - just find someone, anyone to blame). The prosecutors know their witness really should be (and now may end up) in prison himself and they probably didn't really want to take on the case in the first place.
Their reputations are likely to be shot and they could end up sued or in jail themselves eventually. But that won't stop the Administration if they really want to keep trying to drown the guy in the paper sea, just wait until he publishes a book or gets a movie deal - then they will try to get all the kid's money.
In the recording, you can hear the guitar playing the Yo, Ho Ho part that she sang out loud when she had an audience to sing it with her:
"Yo, ho, ho and we drowned him in the paper sea!"

- I went to work for welfare in hopes to help the poor.
- The staff showed me a desk and introduced me to the war.
- They warned me that the battle started right outside the door,
- And they fought it on the paper sea.
- They were thirty social workers, forty-seven clerks,
- Twenty-seven managers all gumming up the works,
- Three inspectors from the legislature excersizing perks,
- Barricudas in the paper sea.
- There were countless regulations, rulebooks by the score,
- Explaining every policy and system tried before.
- The money spent on paperwork left nothing for the poor,
- Abandoned on the paper sea.
- There were seven hundred forms could be applied to every case
- To account for every penny, number, name or date or place.
- The clerks were working overtime but never keeping pace
- With the waves upon the paper sea.
- Why these endless papers, administers, and more,
- All to guarantee there was no cheating by the poor,
- While for every dollar saved we spent a hundred on the chore
- Of adding to the paper sea.
- Outside in the hallway, the poor folk had to wait.
- The line stretched down the block, coming early, leaving late.
- Maybe one poor soul per hour ever made it through the gate,
- Past the boundaries of the paper sea.
- First came in a man who didn't have a cent.
- I filled out twenty forms to guarantee his check was sent.
- By the time it reached his address he was gone for lack of rent,
- Well serviced by the paper sea.
- Next came in a mother, abandoned by her man.
- She said, "Get me some daycare, and I'll find what work I can."
- But daycare was to controvercial for our family plan.
- We marrooned her in the paper sea.
- As I walked in one morning, I stumbled on an arm
- Attached to some poor body who had clearly come to harm.
- While waiting for his Medicare, his heart had bought the farm.
- We had drowned him in the paper sea.
- I told my supervisor. He said, "Let's be discreet.
- Just stick the body out the door and leave it on the street,
- And then it's not our problem, but the cop's out on the beat.
- Let's dump him in _their_ paper sea."
- I tried to make the system work, I tried to help the poor.
- I struggled through the paperwork and might have taken more,
- But that's the final straw that sent me screaming out the door,
- Sent me running from the paper sea.
- I'd had it with the paper sea
