Why is the concept of PROFESSIONAL CAREER PROSECUTORS so difficult to understand?


Are you really so naive as to think that a fish as big as a sitting and senior United States Senator can be indicted and prosecuted without the express consent of the Attorney General of the United States?
Who ordered the July, 2007 FBI raid of Senator Stevens’ home in Alaska? Was that “professional career prosecutors” too?

Thus far the following Alaska businessmen and politicians have been indicted and convicted or plead guilty in the corruption probe that Stevens was caught up in: Bill Allen, Rick Smith, Bill Bobrick (serving 5 months in prison), Tom Anderson (serving 60 months), Pete Kott (serving 72 months), Vic Kohring (serving 3 1/2 years), Jim Clark, Bruce Weyhrauch, John Cowdery (6 months house arrest), Bill Weimar (6 months), Beverly Maskek (plead guilty).

It is now coming to light that the FBI agent, involved in both the Stevens case and the prosecution of those legislators you list, carried on an "inappropriate relationship" with the star prosecution witness, Bill Allen. Allen is the one who gave statements to the FBI (exculpatory evidence that was withheld from Stevens) and testified completely differently on the witness stand. I am wondering how many of these other prosecutions are tainted and may be appealed as a result.

I think maybe I have a better grasp on the operation of the DOJ than you seem to think you do.
