...Holder's defense attorney will surely claim that an AG is overwhelmed with dozens of reports each week and these particular reports escaped his attention because of overwork and incompetence. Ordinarily, in the case of parking tickets and run of the mill political corruption, these three defenses warrant acquittal...

Ordinarily...

These are excuses typically heard in regard to minor accountabilities in a mid-level job.

These are NOT the kinds of excuses you would expect (nor tolerate) from the President or his top cabinet members. That's why they have chiefs of staff, and deputy chiefs of staff, etc.

I seem to recall that the "busy" excuse did not work for Scooter Libby!
