During a congressional Judiciary Committee oversight hearing, Holder claimed that the media overhyped the assumption of an overzealous prosecutor, saying that a plea deal of a few months in prison was offered and rejected by Swartz.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/P7Zfs6doSH8/
