The investigation was a waste of time. Our country could have been better served without doing it. Most the convictions were perjury traps.
You are repeating a lie. Is it ignorance, or are you lying?

I suppose you could believe it was just coincidence that 17 errors were all made in the same direction.
Not at all. I would venture 99% of mistakes made investigators/prosecutors favor the result of convicting people. What I don't believe is that 17 errors is an unusual amount, nor that this indicates an animus directed against Trump. This is normal investigative work, which passes for justice among conservatives when the defendant is not white and wealthy.
