119. Only when that "defense" has a realistic chance

"You didn't stop them when they had a first down at the one yard line!!" Not really a realistic expectation.

The people running the banks are not dumb. The executives did not email their minions ordering them to break the law. There would be no hard evidence that proves the executives knew what was going on. So your prosecutions would result in some low-level people going to prison while the people you want to get go free.

"Oh, but they could get the low-level person to testify!" - not without corroborating evidence.

But hey, let's pretend magic pixie unicorn farts deliver the evidence. So Holder prosecutes and the executives go to club fed for a couple years, and still have giant piles of money when they get out. Ooooo. Such harsh punishment.

And no, Holder doesn't get to "call off" the war on drugs. There's these things called laws. They're still in force. At most, Holder could have done something like start the ball rolling on reclassifying pot. But that does not end the "war on drugs".

So how 'bout instead of saying Holder sucks because he didn't do the impossible, we realize the problem is Congress's shitty laws.
