Sen. Ted Stevens' conviction is dropped by Attorney General Eric Holder. A Democratic AG is dropping the investigation and conviction on a Republican Senator.
While Stevens' seven felony counts of lying on Senate financial disclosure forms to conceal hundreds of thousands of dollars in gifts and home renovations from a wealthy oil contractor are not in question, it's the "outrageous" behavior of the prosecutors including recent admission that they "failed to turn over notes of a crucial interview in which a witness contradicted a statement he made later under oath at trial".
And those hellbent prosecutors and Department of Justice officials, the worst in 25 years according to Judge Sullivan, that are singled out in the government corruption charges in this case? They were Republicans. Remember this was all in the time of the scandalous and incompetent Bush Justice Department. Think Alberto Gonzales. Alaska was a Republican state, too.
Republicans broke the laws to indict another Republican, they even scheduled the case right before the 2008 elections, only to have a Democrat in the new Administration rule that the case was flawed.
Stevens better thank Obama for coming in and appointing Holder, someone with integrity and respect for Rule of Law. If McCain was in, he'd still be fighting the same lunatics in the DoJ.
