I didn't forget Flint .Flint is the reason I sat down at the computer.

What the heck is this? Nessel is saying the prosecutors for the people of Flint were private lawyers? 

Real cute. Private industry prosecutors are normally called mitigation experts and a one-person Grand Jury.

Prepare a Supreme Court case to get rid of the corruption surrounding the crimes committed against the people of Flint. Snyder and his Attorney General set up a corrupt scenario to avoid prosecution of the real crimes against the people.

There is a bunch of good ole boys running the State of Michigan. Wiped cell phone numbers, a one-man Grand Jury, and now a private prosecutor, instead of the government the people of Michigan pay to bring justice.

There is a lot wrong, It is sounding more like the State of the Lawyers, rather than the people. It is amazing the corruption that exists in that state. There need to be cases that can be appealed to the higher courts to get rid of the corruption, not only surrounding these cases but, in the state in general.

When Ferguson manifested in the State of Missouri, President Obama sent in the Justice Department to identify the problem and find ways forward. It sounds like the same thing here. The people count on a Governor that is uncorrupt and doing the work of the people. What the people don't expect is a system so corrupt that white-collar crime of corruption is never brought to trial and seriously imprison the criminals.

This is going to be a prolonged process because the corruption has to be identified and considering Snyder was Governor when the corruption was organized he is going to face far more than the charges he faces now. But, the corruption has to be identified, weeded out, and then the cases proceed without all this EVASION OF PROSECUTION existing.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel's office (click here) is coming under fire for paying roughly $300,000 to five private lawyers for their work on the Flint water investigation and prosecution.

The private counsel makes up about a quarter of the roughly 20 lawyers who have worked on the investigation since Nessel's office scrapped prior prosecutorial efforts and began from scratch in 2019. The probe concerned Flint's switch under state-appointed emergency managers to a new water source that resulted in lead contamination of the drinking water and that experts linked to an outbreak of Legionnaires' diseases cases and deaths.

Supporters of the nine former state and city officials being prosecuted by Solicitor General Fadwa Hammoud's team have cried foul over the employment of the private lawyers because Nessel criticized her predecessor, Republican Attorney General Bill Schuette, for "farming out" the prosecution....

...But Nessel's office has pointed out that her team is being led by a full-time employee of the Attorney General's office and not by a private attorney — as Schuette decided to do with Metro Detroit lawyer Todd Flood.

Nessel agreed early on to handle the civil litigation side of the Flint water crisis investigation and appointed Hammoud to handle the criminal investigation because of inherent conflicts between the two causes. In February 2019, as Nessel announced Hammoud's role, both she and the solicitor general criticized Schuette's handling of the case and his reliance on Flood to lead the prosecution "with practically no oversight by this office whatsoever."....
