re: Somebody argue with this Pat Buchanan article, please.

I think Pat is off-base, and I think it's telling that he conveniently failed to mention the Jack-In-The-Box case that turned so many people against McCulloch. He also failed to mention Holder's record as the U.S. Attorney for D.C. from 1993 to 1997, when Holder was repeatedly accused of being too lenient on police misconduct and police shootings of civilians doubled. Buchanan is also forgetting that Holder ignored the "lynch mob" when they wanted him to prosecute George Zimmerman. Does he think Al Sharpton would have ignored them if he had been the Attorney General? Both Holder and McCulloch have had life experiences that have had an impact of them, but I would say that McCulloch experiences are more profound and indelible than Holder's, lest we also include all the horror stories that Holder has no doubt heard from his in-laws. However, this doesn't mean that either one of them should be pulled off the case. I think the Black politicians asking for McCulloch's removal are misguided and I think Pat is misguided. Besides, elections have consequences, and the folks clamouring for their removal should wait till the next election to vent their frustration rather than be poor sports aboout it.

Accused by whom? Accused over what cases specifically?

Wasn't DC one of the most dangerous cities in the in the country in the 90s? I lived in Maryland for a while in the 90s and remember Southeast DC was about like Chicago today. Even A tourist on the interstate was shot.

Let's be specific here. In 2000, a STL drug task force was making its 3rd or 4th buy from two low level crack and heroin dealers. When the police officers approached the car of the dealers, they (the drug dealers) backed up and crashed into another police cruiser which had blocked them in. The police officers in front fired into the car and killed the two petty drug dealers.
McCulloch's biggest offense on that case was calling the two petty drug dealers "scum." That's what pissed off the professional race baiters. And yes, Sharpton showed up then, too, and did his Sharpton thing.

You failed to mention that McCulloch brought the evidence in the jack and the box shooting to a grand jury who heard evidence and no billed.
If the public was so outraged back then why was he re-elected?
What you really meant was a small amount of people who made a lot of noise were upsets. Just because those people make a lot of noise doesn't change facts.
In other words the jack and the box shooting is not relevant.

Wasn't that when Holder was too busy blowing up Oklahoma City?
