Because the people doing the prosecuting are Holder’s people.
You’re not going to like this answer, because I didn’t. The reason is... DC juries are hopelessly anti-Republican and pro-Democrat.
As I understand it prosecutors are not permitted by DoJ rules to bring cases that they have no possibility of winning. The old joke about a good prosecutor being able to get a Grand Jury to “indict a ham sandwich”? Well, that’s DC Juries — when it comes to Republicans. High-level Democrats carry a lot of political armor and are much harder to convict.
It would probably be a useful reform to bring cases outside the District of Columbia and Northern Virginia. That’s the reform that needs to happen.
