Very interesting. Joseph Rich, head of the voting section of the Civil Rights Division until 2005 says he suspects Bradley Schlozman may have gone to Craig Donsanto's superiors to pressure him to approve those election-timed vote fraud indictments.

If you're lacking the context for the story, you can see a fuller explanation here. But the upshot is that no one knowledgeable about Donsanto, the top guy on election crimes at DOJ, seems to think he would have approved of what Schlozman did unless he was pushed.
