Silence is the smartest option when you know that you have an Attorney General who won't pursue the case.
When the Attorney General is determined to uphold the law and not play politics...the smartest option would have been to cut a plea deal. Lois didn't have to worry about THAT though, did she?
Republicans over played their hand, declaring sentences for the 'scandal' before there had even been an investigation. Let alone charges, trials or convictions.
Thats' a witch hunt. And silence is the best response to it.
The best response to a witch hunt is the truth.
When sentences were declared before conviction or even an investigation 'truth' had nothing to do with it. Which is exactly my point. The GOP had yet to determine if a crime had even been committed. And yet they were already assuring prison time.
You can't claim that evidence or truth had a thing to do with that. Especially when years later when their investigation demonstrated essentially jack shit in terms of crimes, folks are still calling for jail time.

People don't go to jail because some guy is 'angry'. They go to jail because they are guilty of crimes proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
Republicans were demanding jail time before there had even been an investigation. Skipping right past the 'evidence', 'charges', 'trial', 'beyond a reasonable doubt', 'conviction' parts. You know, where virtually the whole of due process is exercised.
You can't tell me that it had a thing to do with 'truth' or 'evidence'.
Was that John Boehner giving that presser, Skylar? Boy, he really DOES have a heck of a tan!
