I think this is a huge development. Who knows what other present or former DOJ employees this might lead to. I would love it if it led to Schumer, Leaky or Kennedy. People at the Wash Post might be prosecuted too since the DOJ recently ruled that journalists who expose national security secrets could be prosecuted.
Slick Willie upon moving into the White House decided to convert as many political appointee positions to career civil service as he could. I bet this guy was one of them who would have been fired/replaced by a Republican administration.
This is also part of the problem with CIA and NSA.
