Washington (CNN) - The Obama administration Friday acknowledged the White House is taking steps to rescue the Justice Department's troubled effort to find a home for the trial of the accused 9/11 conspirators.
The move represents a setback for Attorney General Eric Holder, who had spearheaded the decision to try self-admitted 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in a civilian court near the site of the attack on the Twin Towers.
Holder has made an issue of establishing Justice Department independence from interference by political influences.
However, with opposition to the November decision mounting in Congress and in New York City, the White House has stepped in, citing a political dimension that takes the issue beyond the legal considerations that guided Holder.
"Because Congress has become involved in this, because legislation could restrict the venue, and the type of trial, the White House is more involved, yes," said White House spokesman Robert Gibbs.

Does anyone believe that Lord Zero wasn't involved in this fiasco right from the start? Eric Holder, there is a place waiting for you under the 0Bama Express.
I think he'll be gone before June.

Yep. Can you imagine the outrage had the Bush W.H. been accused of such meddling? Like during Fitzmas?

Hi,
The intent of BO Plenty was to have the trial in New York all along, to help inflame the muslim community and give them a forum to attack the US.....giving justification for all BO Plenty seems to apologize for. The publicity of the trial would drag out for two years keeping the issues in the mainstream media which will do nothing to help our war effort.
I have a good friend that worked with Holder for years in New York. I am of the opinion that Holder was running interference for BO Plenty, but that his heart is right where the rest of the liberals are.
If BO Plenty keeps this up, which I hope he does, the ground swell might be such his own party takes him down.

I thought bestiality was illegal?
Why is Obama allowed to screw the pooch so often?
