Looseheadprop at FDL offers a little bit more on Holder.
Referring to Eric Lichtbau and David Johnston's NYT piece she wonders
How does Holder know he's going to "work it out" BEFORE he even knows what the case is about? Oh, and later in the article, there is a claim that the case is an example of Rudy Giuliani being overzealous. No, not Rudy. Hell, Rudy left before the Clinton Admin even began. There were two USA's -- Benito Romano and Otto Obermier -- between him and Mary Jo, so any Holder spin about an overcharge by Rudy is bullfeathers. That indictment was reviewed by 3 subsequent US Attorneys, and it was Democrat Mary Jo White that Holder stabbed in the back with his end run around her authority.
ondelette, as is customary for you, you ask a great question. As is customary for me, I have no good answers. But, I hope you keep asking those questions. They're right on, IMHO.
