WASHINGTON (AP) — A lead prosecutor in the John Brennan investigation has been removed from the case after expressing concerns to Justice Department officials about the legal strength of a potential criminal prosecution of the former CIA director, a person familiar with the matter said Friday.
Maria Medetis Long told defense lawyers involved in the investigation that she was no longer participating in the Brennan investigation. Her departure from the investigation came after she conveyed doubt that there was sufficient evidence for a criminal case against Brennan, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press to discuss internal Justice Department conversations.
The Justice Department did not dispute that Medetis Long was no longer part of the investigation but also did not elaborate on the circumstances of her departure. The department said in a statement that “as a matter of routine practice, attorneys are moved around on cases so offices can most effectively allocate resources. It is completely healthy and normal to change members of legal teams.”

Profiles In Courage. Stunning and Brave!
Derpstate threats against prosecutors works!
I wonder if this woman ever had “doubts” about the strength of the cases against Trump. I don’t much care about the strength, or whether we’ll get a conviction in Washington DC courts. I’m happy just to bankrupt these people with legal fees the way they did to our people.
The song ‘backstabbers’ comes to mind, an oldie so eerily proffered by a group called the OJs... you can’t make up this stuff.
Newsday has a photo of her but they apparently did not post it with the current version of the story. Google search still shows it as of now.
”They lie to you face. All the time they want to take your place. The Backstabbers.”
Here’s the solution. Purge the poodles from DOJ and install pit bulls.
Looks like another scumbag democrat will skate.
The DOJ needs to hire those trial lawyers in private practice with a track record who give insurance companies and corporate boards sleepless nights
Career bureaucrat or honest?
The Southern District of Florida, you say...
Correct
They got to her
There must be progressive death. The legal system doesn’t exist in these matters
.
Everyone knows you stay with the case until the district court judges tosses it out on a technicality.

Hillary Clinton was “extremely careless,” but “no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case,” FBI Director James Comey said.
The Deep State does not want to prosecute the Deep State. Surprise.
Long was pressured into being a pearl clutcher.Was it the Brennan Obama wet works team used to kill people like Lt. Quarles HArris Jr.?
Now replace her with a fire breather who has guns up security.
How about resigning because the life of her mother or her children were threatened?
Is that the actual situation or is that your supposition?
