6. But you can't find someone guilty unless they're prosecuted. |
|
All you need to prosecute is probable cause and evidence that will hold up in court.

4. You do realize the Obama Admin will never prosecute anyone, thats the AG office.... |
|
He can take the high road and let his underlings do his bidding.

5. thank you. That is the truth of the matter! If the AG department wanted to go forward |
|
and have the evidence, he would not stop them.

9. He has to be smart about it. I think the Rethugs are a dangerous bunch. |
|
He needs to let the AG do the work.
