Unless it can be proved that a vast right-wing conspiracy forced the Northrop Grumman staffers into lie under oath, it might be hard to convince the public that a group of pocket-protector-wearing techies had anything to gain by fabricating allegations. Adding to the administration's load are claims by the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, whose $90 million civil suit filed against the White House led to the DOJ investigation, that Justice took over the case simply to delay the civil action until...
