In reply to the discussion: Meet the Man Who Has Been Battling Romney and Bain’s Bankruptcy Fraud for 12 Years [View all]Jim Lane
(11,175 posts)18. I signed but I can't be optimistic about DoJ action.
For a newly re-elected Obama to order, approve, or countenance an investigation that touched so closely on his defeated rival would strike many people as retribution (regardless of the facts of the case).
I'm guessing that Obama's political advisors would tell him, "Go after any other corporate crooks in the country before you go after Romney."
Of course, there are plenty of other such targets, and DoJ hasn't gone after them, either.
