Because I believe his own political ass and his legacy really is more important than anything else to him, and believe it or not the Saudis do help us out sometimes if it’s in their best interests to do so.
Both of them look good this way, SA for helping and the administration for finding the other bombers while their hands are kept clean on interrogation methods.
One more note, plenty of FBI agents know all about this guy by now and its obviously gone public. If he was to do something so overt as to let a conspirator go then that would be the straw that broke someone’s back, and they would be in front of the senate giving testimony the next day.
Not everyone in the FBI is a douchebag partisan line-tower.
If this Saudi has any intel regarding the Boston bombing, then that means the bombing was done by Islamists. That fact would be *devastating* to Obama, after all his pronouncements about Al Queda being “on the run”, and particularly when the Immigration bill is about to be introduced.
Islamist terrorist involvement in the Boston bombing must be covered up by Obama for the same reasons it needed to be covered up in Benghazi.
