Presumably, given that it is campaign related, AG Sessions would have to recuse on handling of DOJ case, which gives it to Rosenstein. But we don't know if Rosenstein would/did refer it to Mueller. If not, could be handled by DOJ public integrity folks or people in another office

But just to stress--even a fair minded prosecutor untouched by political pressure would have to think twice about going after Cohen criminally for this, absent some smoking gun evidence. John Edwards case just latest time DOJ got burned for being too aggressive in political cases

This is infuriating. The possibility of losing doesn't stop prosecutors in millions of other cases. This fear only leads to non-prosecution of people who are rich and powerful.

Maybe it would be better as a rule if prosecutors didn't prosecute cases where there was a fear of losing, but it's a shield that none of my clients have.

Ridiculous. The timing was just before the election. You only need to be able to add 2 + 2 to figure this one out. Edwards should have been convicted too, but either way this is a far stronger case.
