A Limited Defense of Eric Holder

The Corner | National Review Online: "There is no excuse for Eric Holder, said Charles Krauthammer on Special Report. “Either he lied to Congress or he lied to a judge.”

“Their defense is, ‘It was a ruse. We didn’t really want to prosecute him,’” Krauthammer explained, “which is probably true, because it’s never been successfully done.”"

I usually swear by Charles Krauthammer. But in this case, I dissent--mostly because the law professors at the Volokh Conspiracy say its totally normal and legal for a prosecutor to name a person as co-conspirator so he can proceed with an investigation when that person has technically violated the law, even if the prosecutor has no intention of indicting.
