No. Anyone can say anything. Make comments about an investigation into corruption or any other crime which suggests you might be involved in either and yeah, you might be called to tell what you know to a Grand Jury.
Hadn’t seen this before, wonder what is next. Maybe no elected official can be criticized.
Suppose Holder was going after Muslim radicals. Suppose someone, perhaps someone connected to CAIR, started mouthing off about the investigation. The state has no right to call those who are obviously intent on derailing the investigation before a Grand Jury and get them under oath?
The Soviet Union stayed up as long as it did because this "free speech...a witchhunt to silence us" schtick was used.
If I were commenting on an investigation and I got called to testify, I would be eager to do so.
If I’m commenting on an investigation and privy to it ... I could see this action.
Now if I am saying things only the investigators know ... then I expect to get my butt hauled in.
If I am spouting off my opinion ... then no.
These comments on the Internet should be sufficient for the AG or PD to know they are uninformed talkers or a person of interest.
You don’t play this card just because you have the power to do it! That’s all I am saying.
Holder is an idiot and a half-wit, as well as a party operative. Him I could expect this from just because of that. Is the PA AG the same. I don’t know.
Facts presented are really slim to none.
