from the independent-judiciary dept.

Earlier this week we read about the German Public Prosecutor opening up a treason investigation.

Within hours, the investigation was halted. And now the public prosecutor lost his job over it.

Looks like this Slashdot commenter foresaw accurately what would happen, based on a very similar past incident:

Also at the BBC and Deutsche Welle.

    Maybe YOU read about it earlier this week, but I didn't see any stories on it.

    Not at Soylent at least - I was going to complain about having links to the Other Site's stories instead of ours, but apparently we never posted anything on this.

    Not only did I read about, but the people clearly said this was going to happen.

    You want to lose your prosecutor job in Germany? Bring up treason charges against the press.
