Seen a lot of Ratcliffe quotes about being a former terrorism prosecutor, but looking at various prosecution databases and DOJ's website, don't see any cases brought in the Eastern District of Texas while he was either US Atty or head of its anti-terror unit.

Guess it depends on your definition of terrorist. To Ratcliffe it was probably the black guy

Oh, Mr. Miller, you must know that chasing after facts is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
Don't believe what you read and see. The fount of all truth and wisdom starts on the gold-plated toilet in a bathroom somewhere in the West Wing of the WH..

(26,748 posts)6. He was reportedly a prosecutor on the "U.S. v. Holy Land Foundation" case
I think that was the largest terrorist-financing (Hamas) case up to that point.
But it was in the Northern District of Texas. Miller could have checked Google
