WASHINGTON – A judge has dismissed charges against former Sen. Ted Stevens because of prosecutorial misconduct and has ordered a criminal contempt investigation of the prosecutors.

"In nearly 25 years on the bench, I've never seen anything approaching the mishandling and misconduct that I've seen in this case," U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan said in the opening moments of a hearing.

Where Do I Go To Get My Reputation Back?”

That was the question asked by Ray Donovan, Reagan’s Labor Secretary, after he was found not guilty of corruption charges...

Evidently the judge is so miffed that he’s signaling this won’t be swept under the Holder-run DOJ rug into oblivion. Sounds like he’s bent on exposing them for the frauds they are. Let’s hope so. Because THIS is the kind of thing the can do great damage to the Demon-crats.

Tired of hearing people clap and defend corrupt officials.

From the whispers that I hear floating around from some connected clients, there are going to be criminal charges bought up and people are going to be prosecuted.

The words “egregious,” and “unconscionable” are frequently mentioned

This judge gets it. The judicial branch has a role in preventing tyranny. I’m not sure if the rest of the judicial branch knows that.

“The judge called on judges nationwide to issue formal orders in all criminal cases requiring that prosecutors turn over evidence to defendants.

It was a stinging rebuke of the Justice Department and Sullivan called on Holder to order training for all prosecutors.”

They are apparently very corrupt, or too stupid to continue?

Administrations come and go but it would take dynamite to remove government bow-wows from their anointed jobs.

The quest for power by the Progressive Democratic Party knows no bounds.
Their coups etat has shown that quite well. I'm not saying that the Republicans had nothing to do with it. What I'm saying is that the Democrats took advantage of the situation and used their propaganda and smear techniques quite well.
What we should be doing is use the same techniques against them. This time though, going after those who are really the corrupt within the Democratic Party.
People like Murtha, Obama, Emanuel, Pelosi, Reid, Dodd, the names are many and would fill the page. These people must be investigated and exposed for their criminal and corrupt ways that they have brought to American politics and for their Socialist-Fascistic ideology. They have usurped the meaning of Freedom and our Constitution and for that we should have no mercy on them.
