Another theory on those DOJ leaks

I've wondered if leaks in the Michael Brown case by the DOJ were politically motivated, designed to revive the story's profile going into the midterm voting cycle.

But Chicago's SecondCityCop blog takes a different view. It speculates the leaks are designed to lower expectations of an indictment, intended to lessen any backlash when the grand jury eventually wraps up without indicting the officer involved.
