“Utterly routine” is just as surely the apt description of the press conference. When the Justice Department does not charge a person with a crime, guidelines call for prosecutors to remain silent. In such circumstances, it is standard fare for the Justice Department to hold a press conference and issue a press release. Since the attorney general is ultimately responsible for the redactions, his thinking on the matter ought to be welcome. For these and other reasons, it is palpably proper for the attorney general to call a press conference.
