I've said it pretty much since this whole thing started, but watching what the government can and will do to someone they don't like should stop us all in our tracks. I don't care what anyone's thoughts are about Spanier as a person or as the president of PSU. Watching the lengths the Commonwealth will go to just to be able to say "we got a conviction!" should terrify everybody. Because if we give them the power to do it to Spanier just because we happen not to like him or think he should be punished, well, just because someone somewhere HAS to be punished, then we're giving them the power to do the exact same thing to each of us.
Shapiro essentially has unchecked power as the AG. He's a very dangerous man. The fact that he is completely unscrupulous and will do and say anything for media attention makes him all the more dangerous.
