It's perfectly plausible that someone at some point may have told the US Attorney, "Holmes should be charged, look at what she did to Jim Mattis", but it's not as if that needed to happen in order for charges to be filed against Holmes. The case against her was quite compelling and I find it highly implausible that pro-Mattis sentiment within the DoJ would have been a factor in the Holmes indictment going ahead. The high-profile nature of the case was absolutely a factor in how the DoJ handled it -- I'm sure the media attention got it more AUSA hours, etc. |
