(2,720 posts)The Attorney General did not pursue these people. The people who engaged in Felony leaks of classified information were pursued by professional Federal investigators whose job it is to pursue these things. All Eric Holder did was fail to stop the investigation and the prosecutorial conduct in this case. He recused himself from the decision.
It's ironic to see people who want the Administration to jail bankers for legal (though despicable) actions, but somehow not go after people who committed a felony that endangered American lives overseas. They were the first to scream about Bush's political use of prosecutorial discretion but now blame Obama for not abusing prosecutorial discretion.
This case involves the First Amendment about as much as legal private nuclear bombs involves the Second.
