Of course we knew this was going to happen. Hennepin County Attorney Amy Klobuchar is running for US Senate. Can you imagine the brouhaha if there weren't any charges filed?

You don't think they should have been charged?

I'm saying that there were probably some political calclulations in determining the specific charges, the timing, and who announced the charges. I noticed that it was Klobuchar's deputy who is the public face for this prosecution.
