five-year FBI agent assigned to the Alaska corruption investigation is the whistleblower who brought a complaint of misconduct against other agents and at least one prosecutor involved in the trial of U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens.

We knew from the start this was a plot to get Stevens out of the senate.

SNIP . . . Within an hour of the judge's release of the document, Stevens' attorneys filed a motion to dismiss the case or at least grant the senator a new trial. The whistleblower complaint "confirms what the defense has long believed and alleged: The government cheated and lied in order to obtain a verdict against Sen. Ted Stevens." \ . . FINI

Some of us knew. Plenty on FR hate Ted Stevens to this day. He has been replaced by a man who could charitably be described as a clueless liberal moron.

[Carley]

At least the dem is for ANWR from what I have read.

We have to hope that he remains true to the people of Alaska and not Soros.

As soon as it appeared that the feds were dragging the case on so that Stevens couldn’t get back to Alaska to campaign I began to wonder. Soon it was clear that the case had little or no merit.

Definitely a dismissal is in order.

[Venturer]

He will get a dismissal, like Scooter Libby got a dismissal.

What a phony charge that was.

[ASOC]
