Notable Quotes 3
As you know, the Department of Justice vests considerable discretion in its U.S. Attorneys, and the Deputy Attorney General will intervene in only the most unusual of circumstances.
Even if we were to substitute our judgment for that of the U.S. Attorney, we believe that federal prosecution of this case is appropriate.
Moreover, having reviewed your allegations of prosecutorial misconduct, and the facts underlying them, we see nothing in the conduct of the U.S. Attorney's Office that gives us any reason to alter our opinion.
