I was just reading about the law of prosecutorial discretion. Essentially a prosecutor's decision not to prosecute is unreviewable, and has been for 150 years, although the US Atty statute is framed in mandatory language (The US Atty for each district SHALL prosecute ALL crimes against the United States). What US Atty is gonna indict Harvard, really? Half of them WENT to Harvard Law, I'd guess.
