Specter Asks Sampson about What “The Problem” with Carol Lam Was

Here you go. Sen. Arlen Specter asks Sampson about why he wrote on May 11th that the “real problem” we have “now” is with Carol Lam. Sampson dodged at first, but then said that the “real problem” referred to her “office’s prosecution of immigration cases.” Nothing to do with Lam’s search warrant of CIA Executive Director Dusty Foggo.
