As much as I hate Snyder, it seemed like any corruption in these cases was at a much lower level - and to me the exciting deals to lowering water quality seemed suspicious to me, but I’m not an investigator :)<p>But let’s look at this more seriously - this is a case of negligence being bought against a governor for harm caused by what amounts to <i>failure to adequately maintain infrastructure</i>.<p>Doesn’t that apply to pretty much every state in the US at the moment? There have been collapses of dams, bridges, road ways, ... in pretty much every state for decades. Due entirely to a policy of deferred maintenance (eg “I can make the budget look good today, even if tomorrow it costs 10x as much to correct”).

Criminalizing political opponents is one of the standard dictator&#x27;s toolkits. It should only be used when overwhelmingly justified, this case does not meet that bar. Yes he&#x27;s a sociopath and a fuckup but politicians should not typically be able to wield state violence against each other.

Isn’t Obama too complicit in this? He even failed to acknowledge the problem exists, let alone do anything about Rick Snyder
