Baseball. Blogging. Whenever.Monday, February 16, 2009Great moments in prosecutorial discretionMiguel Tejada should have gone to law school:A recently released report from DOJ's Inspector General found that Acting Assistant Attorney General Bradley Schlozman gave false testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee (both in his oral testimony and in written supplemental testimony) regarding his partisan misuse of his office and his violations of the Civil Service Reform Act.
