Very Possible
Wasn't there a thread about a UN inspector being caught on tape by the Iraqis or something like that?
First, it lets the feds know exactly how Ritter may have been compromised in Iraq.
Next, it allows them to question the assistant DA and find out WHY she cut this deal.
Then, if said deal made no sense, the assistant DA can be investigated to see who she hangs around with.
