AP: “Peter Carr, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney in Alexandria, which is prosecuting the case against defendants William P. Danielczyk Jr. and Eugene R. Biagi, said Friday that the office is reviewing the ruling. Prosecutors have the option to appeal the ruling to the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond.”

The first thing the U.S. attorney should do is move for reconsideration in light of the controlling Supreme Court authority, FEC v. Beaumont.

Fred Wertheimer is unhappy.

Politico explains the background of the criminal case.

More to come.
