Matt Miller: ‘Fishy’ Charges Facing Ex-Obama Counsel May Be ‘Political’

EXCERPT:

MILLER: “I don't know whether the charges against Greg Craig are justified or not, I don't know what will happen but there is something fishy about the way the Justice Department brought this case that they still have yet to explain. And that is, at least according to Craig's lawyers this case was originally investigated by the southern district of New York. The prosecutors in that office declined to bring this prosecution. They thought it wasn’t justified. At that point the people in main justice took the case from SDNY, brought it to D.C. and asked them to investigate. And they did and brought justice. The Justice Department owes the public an explanation why they brought this case after one office declined to bring it, they haven't yet gave it and I think without that, it does raise questions over whether the prosecution is political or not."
