Also not the most competent prosecutor the DOJ could have used appears to be on the side of the DEFENDING team.
The Bush administration has clearly been politicizing the DOJ under the guise of the Patriot Act. So the most qualified are not always doing the prosecuting. I would expect many changes in the DOJ if the Dems win the White House next year.
Probably the most high profile prosecutor to ‘resign’ was the Balco prosecutor Kevin Ryan. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
