But in fairness, the implication is that they have spent some time working up a criminal case or two, although what they're going to do about the statute of limitations remains to be seen. It's just that too much too late to nail the real perps, even if that was the desire.

Since Mr Holder's department has specified "criminal" charges in the PR release, I'm going to be curious as to what form the wrist-slapping will take. My guess: they'll find some foreign (probably Indian) mid-upper level scapegoats to do a little time.
