It would be nice if they would choose to prosecute strong cases for meaningful crimes with identifiable victims instead of wasting tons of money on showboating, revenge, and/or fame-chasing prosecutions. The only reason to go after Bonds and Clemens alone among the steroid accused was that they were the two biggest names. There was a case to be made against Bonds, though it was silly to spend so much time and effort on such a petty crime, but there wasn’t even a case at all on Clemens. Would be nice if we could save our money instead.
