Or here's how we get rid of him without sending him to jail. |

Well, I'd be all for that as long as he didn't really deserve to go to jail, which he probably did. |

Why do prosecutors do this crap? They are the ones who should now be put on trial. Friggin government thinks it can just railroad people. Screw that! This isn't bloody old England! |

Quick, think of a reason why a second-term Bush Justice Department would want to get rid of a reliable Republican Senator. And then remember who dismissed the prosecution ... the hated Democrats. Care to make this a partisan thing again? |

Quirt, take YOUR partisan blinders off. This all took place under the Bush/Gonzales/Mukasey Justice Department. I think it quite possible that they knew he had to go, but didn't want him to go to jail. Like I said, justice can be a commodity. |

Not the dismissal. That was Holder's. As always, Republicans = bad stuff, Democrats = fix the Republican mess. Totally non-partisan, of course. Just the facts, ma'am. |

You think the withholding was accidental? I wouldn't bet on it. An easy setup for an appeal and reversal, without being criticized for not prosecuting him. I'd watch and see what becomes of the prosecutors involved. |

Machiavelli has nothing on you. You think they charged him, then deliberately screwed up the prosecution, to chase him out of office? And get a Democrat elected? Wow. |

No. I think it possible they knew he was toast one way or the other and fixed it so he wouldn't do jail time. |

They still need to be investigated by an outside agency with absolutely no ties to their department. |

Not to sign on to any conspiracy theories, but I don't think many people thought that a Dem would get that seat. I think they thought Palin would be naming somebody to complete the term. |

Don't try to pretend that Stevens is innocent. There was just too much (Republican) prosecutorial misconduct to convict him. Guilty, and convictable, are two totally separate concepts. Stevens was apparently the first, but through a series of (Republican) bungles not the second. |

but George's article begs to differ - it was partisan, and it looks like Democrats responsible, not a Republican Bush Justice Dept. |

Who was in charge of the Justice Department again during that time? Who appointed the U.S. Attorneys? Who was the Attorney General? Who had authority to quash the investigation? |
