Rats abandoning a sinking administration?

[Molon Labbie]

They at least don’t want to be around when the Ferguson thing cooks off, since they did help foment much of the unrest by convicting the officer sans any meaningful legal proceedings.

[Olog-hai]

I’m trying to figure out what’s with the slow-motion resignation process.

[Lion Den Dan]

Likely right. I would not want to be around to take the rap.

[stephenjohnbanker]

You nailed it.

It will be hard to replace the degree of EVIL of Holder & Co, but Obama can do it.

... of the Justice Department’s brain trust

That's a joke, right?

Lot of people on Death Row would like to resign, since when was resignation an option in criminal proceedings?

First Holder now this? Hmm smells like something very rotten is stinking up the Justus Department. I bet they know something and it’s not good.

The Justice Department second-raking official is preparing to step down...

Well, it is October. He was probably not looking forrward to all the leaves falling from the trees.

[WayneS]

Rats abandoning a stinking sh!t?

[catnipman]

Holder’s “brain trust”? The very definition of oxymoron I believe, with emphasis on the “moron” part.

[DoughtyOne]

Well..., it's a start...

Could it be a mere coincidence that these top folks in the DOJ are resigning AFTER Judicial Watch got a judge to rule that information on the gun running program “Fast & Furious” must be released?

In my opinion, any program like that would have had to be approved at the very highest level of the DOJ since it basically was a government plan to break existing law. As far as I know, they knew it was a felony offense because they later convicted one of the gun store operators in New Mexico for following their directions.

In addition to RICO there is another Federal Statute which is right on point: 18 US Code, Section 4

Similar to abetting a felony or obstruction of justice, the statute basically says: “Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony … conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States” is guilty of misprision of felony and can be punished with up to three years in prison.

Under the federal statute, the prosecution must prove the following elements to obtain a misprision of felony conviction: (1) another person actually committed a felony; (2) the defendant knew that the felony was committed; (3) the defendant did not notify any law enforcement or judicial officer; and (4) the defendant took affirmative steps to conceal the felony. Precisely what constitutes active concealment is a Question of Fact that depends on the circumstances of the case.

So how long does it take to resign. I can suggest a couple different texts for the announcement. 1) I quit., 2) Sayonnara.
