I'm not casting aspersions about the FBI or the career personnel at the DOJ. I don't doubt the career prosecutors in individual US Attorney's offices.

While US Attorneys are political appointees, I am confident that the vast majority of them are good and professional attorneys. My concern is that it will only take one US Attorney out there looking to make a name with the party to launch a political prosecution.

I'm the worst of all possible worlds, a cynic and a worrier.
