    I wouldn’t trust it. He could easily change his mind, or the next AG could have differing opinions. You’ll only be ‘safe’ after the statute of limitations ends, and the statute of limitations for murder is infinite.

      Don’t get me wrong, I don’t trust him for shit. But considering his announcement was not long ago, this likely is not coming from anyone on the left.

      Actually that’s not true, there’s a legal standard applied to public statements regarding enforcement from prosecutors and other related members of executive branches.
