Holding for AG?
2010-08-26 - by
The rumor among Republicans is that George Holding will run against Roy Cooper for AG in 2012.
That assumes, of course, that Holding doesn’t stay on as U.S. Attorney forever.
It also assumes he finally handles his high-profile cases: Mike Easley and John Edwards.
Maybe Holding will punt Easley to the state, saying that the Supreme Court ruling on “honest services” makes a federal prosecution impossible.
That could be bad news for Edwards. It wouldn’t look good for Holding to keep the bat on his shoulder and not swing twice.
Of course, any prosecutor has to worry now about trying Easley or Edwards. If that clown Blagojevich got off, don’t you think Easley and/or Edwards could convince at least one juror to hold out for acquittal?
