Dave Niewart looks more closely at Colorado U.S. Attorney Troy Eid and his decision not to prosecute the meth-head would-be assassins that were arrested in Denver during the DNC.
Niewart asks,
Two questions arise -- one minor, one major:
-- How often has Troy Eid ignored the FBI's recommendations in the past when it comes to filing charges in cases of this nature? (We know when it came to a black man inside a prison threatening John McCain -- despite a clear lack of capability of actually carrying out the threat -- Eid was eager and willing.)
-- Is this administration -- and particularly this Justice Department, as deeply compromised as it has become by the Bush White House's crass politicization -- capable of ensuring that true threats against Democratic figures like Obama are taken seriously and dealt with appropriately?
