Charges dismissed on Stevens, Contempt prob on its way.
I will spare you my thoughts, but what do you make of the motive of the prosecution team. Think about it, a whole team, that broke the law. Hmmmmm, very interesting.
RE: Charges dismissed on Stevens, Contempt prob on its way.
It won't happen, but the election should be declared null and void and held again. The reason it won't happen is because Sen. Stevens would obviously win it easily, after having his name cleared. The Dem. that won it has no honor and would never agree to challenging Sen. Stevens on an equal playing field.
On the positive side, at 85 years old Sen. Stevens deserves a break. I hope he enjoys his retirement.

Just curious... Does anyone know the political persuasion of the prosecutors involved? It was a Federal proceeding, right? I thought Bush fired all of theDemocrat Prosecutors and appointed right wingers.

That is why I have been reluctant to pin it on the Demos. But it does have a stink to it. I honestly do not know what political party they were associated with. But it does have a stink to it.

please stop injecting facts into this would you? we were just starting in on a partisan bashing binge.
the case was prosecuted by the AG's public integrity [insert joke here unit]. the lead prosecutor was Brenda Morris, appointed to the AG in '91, under Bush Senior.
but as a bone to my democrat-bashing compatriots, i will observe that Ms. Morris is also an adjunct professor of law at that most vile, liberal institution, Georgetown. I'm sure someone can play "seven degrees of seperation from obama" to turn this all into a conspiracy orchestrated by those close to POTUS.
doubt this has much in any way to do with partisanship. more likely, stevens was just viewed as a big ol' trophy bull that someone could make a career on. this sort prosecutorial misconduct should frighten all of us to our very core. how many times does it happen, where the defendant DOESN'T have the respources to fight it? this sort of behavior is more of an immediate threat to our liberties than anything your average elected official is likely to do.
RE: Charges dismissed on Stevens, Contempt prob on its way.
Reckon anyone would be silly enough to state that his conviction had nothing to do with the election results? Would anyone say the Dem. who (narrowly) won is being honorable by keeping the position rather than let the people decide without falsehoods swaying their decision?

It's scary, but to me it's not as bad as the gov't doing hostile takeovers of banks and auto manufacturers.

I agree. A prosecutor is supposed to consider all evidence before deciding to file any charges. It's just plain wrong to prosecute somebody when you are privy to exculpatory evidence.[:@]
