Is Obama's Former White House Counsel In Trouble?
Former White House counsel Greg Craig expects to be indicted within a matter of days, his attorneys said in a statement Wednesday..."This case was thoroughly investigated by the SDNY (Southern District of New York) and that office decided not to pursue charges against Mr. Craig," his attorneys said in a statement. "We expect an indictment by the DC US Attorney's Office at the request of the National Security Division. Mr. Craig is not guilty of any charge and the government's stubborn insistence on prosecuting Mr. Craig is a misguided abuse of prosecutorial discretion."
