especially when they're ready for indictment and especially when there's something as important as protecting the integrity of american elections. so, i would expect that if something like this were to happen, and i think as chuck says, there's no indication that it happened here, every indication to the contrary, and the urgent report would have been transmitted to washington within something like 72 hours of filing an important case like this, in any event, but prosecutors and agents have begun to show concern to their supervisors. if they were told the case couldn't move forward. and i think ultimately you would see protests at every level in a u.s. attorney's office with everyone from line prosecutors and line agents on all the way up to the u.s. attorney who as chuck points out is the only politic appointee in every u.s. attorney's office, you would see those resignations in protest. if they were told they couldn't move forward with a case that they had appropriate evidence on and reason to believe that they could obtain and sustain a conviction in.
