Brief biographical sketches of six federal prosecutors under investigation for mishandling the trial of former Sen. Ted Stevens.
BRENDA MORRIS: A longtime prosecutor with the Justice Department's Public Integrity Section, Morris now serves as its principal deputy. She helped supervise the investigation into disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff and has prosecuted corruption cases around the country. She teaches corruption investigations within the Justice Department and is a professor at Georgetown Law School. A graduate of Howard University law school, she served as the lead attorney in the Stevens trial, giving the government's opening statement and cross-examining Stevens.
NICHOLAS MARSH: One of two Public Integrity trial attorneys on the case, Marsh handled much of the courtroom work during the trials of Alaska lawmakers caught up in the scandal. He has been part of numerous other public corruption investigations, including a scheme in Mississippi to defraud a $400 million fen-phen settlement. An FBI whistleblower accused Marsh of intentionally withholding evidence from Stevens and sending a witness back to Alaska during trial to prevent potentially damaging testimony. The prosecution team denies those accusations.

Brenda Morris must be black since she went to Howard, so we know she’s a lefty....and it would be funny if the Abramhoff trial was seen as corrupted by her!!
My thought also...
Here is a picture of the infamous Brenda.
I will make a huge bet that this woman is a devoted Barak groupie.
She was willing to lie to help the dems win the last election.

Jokers. Alaska should have a recall election and remove the sitting Democrat and have a fair election. I would like to know if these attorneys are active in the Democratic Party.
You guessed right.
See my last post.
I’d love to see all of these corrupt pixies thrown in jail. Then, the indictment of Rick Renzi by the Commie pinheads here in Arizona should be investigated. Dollar to a donut it was fraudulent also. The Commie ‘RATS really wanted his seat in the House. They Gerrymandered this district in hopes of it becoming a permanent, solid ‘RAT district. The GOP continued to win it even after the ‘RATS did their thing to make it a solid ‘RAT district. I think the frustration just became too much for the ‘RATS to bear so they went the “justice system” route to take over the seat.
Right you are!~
What? The basic input/output system of the prosecutors is being investigated?
Wonder if there was any conspiracy involved????
now let's see... what about her makes me think she's a flaming liberal Obamanista...????
Maybe she's left handed?
.... er... I don't know... something about her.. something in the eyes..
Each of these attorneys have breached the public trust, they should be disbarred and not allowed to practice law in any state.
I hate to say it, but Bush’s fault.
Does anyone remember who?
Yes...ALL of her cases need to be re-examined...PRONTO!
>> Brenda Morris must be black
It would seem so.
Not just the Abramoff trial, but the taint of affiliation.
e.g. Pombo, et.al.

More on Brenda Morris’ Prosecutorial Misconduct
Brenda Morris, the lead attorney who committed prosecutorial misconduct in the Ted Stevens case, might have a history of prosecutorial misconduct. I’ll investigate later. In the meantime, read this article:
Two weeks before tax day, married lawyers Alan and Jean Brown were signing their names to the back of a familiar-looking green and yellow U.S. Treasury Department check that most Americans associate with a tax refund.
The check the San Antonio couple endorsed on March 30 was an Internal Revenue Service refund of sorts — but not in the traditional sense.
The $1.34 million check was the result of a settlement between the Browns and the government in Alan Brown, et al. v. United States, a Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) suit the couple filed three years ago in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas.
The couple filed the civil suit after they were caught up in a complicated tax prosecution in which Alan Brown, a well-known criminal defense attorney with Brown & Norton, and Jean Brown, a family law solo, allege they were targeted by overzealous Internal Revenue Service agents, which led to the Browns being indicted in 2003 by a federal grand jury in Austin, Texas, for allegedly filing false personal tax returns between 1994 and 1997.
...
Brenda Morris, a chief deputy in the U.S. Department of Justice’s Public Integrity Section who prosecuted the Browns, did not return a telephone call seeking comment.
A $1.34 million dollar settlement for a false prosecution? That’s a lot of smoke. Does it point to yet another Morris fire?
Yes! She probably just goes after Republicans....hmmmm...Eric Holder will NEVER let her go down....NEVER!
Bush didn’t fire them all the way Clinton did, but some of these people weren’t fireable anyway. That is, they’d been hired by the people Bush could have fired. Granted, if he’d fired their bosses, perhaps they would have been fired by the new bosses.
But exhibiting a little BDS doesn’t help anything. I think the important question is exactly why Holder is doing this.
He has nothing to lose, because the Dems have already gained their point (getting Stevens out - I’m not defending him, but he was certainly no more corrupt than Barney Frank or a host of others, and was gotten out only to assure a Dem majority). But aside from that, I think there’s something else behind this.
Possibly Holder is protecting one of the prosecutors because he thought that an appeal would reveal seriously bad things and he wanted to preempt it; possibly he has a personal rivalry with this prosecutor; possibly he is setting the stage to protect Jefferson in some bizarre way.
My point: trust them as far as you can throw them. And forget about Bush, he’s not here anymore. Focus on now.
Basic Input/Output System?
Huh?! Who da thunk it?
I agree that there is something behind the Holder actions and you may have hit on something regarding the appeal. I think that it may be something as simple as not wanting the political prosecution to be exposed by any one other than himself. If Holder was the one to expose the prosecutors, the reflection on the Democrat party is much less. The Democrats cannot afford a high profile case which would point to possible manipulation of an election.
But aside from that, I think there’s something else behind this.
“Possibly Holder is protecting one of the prosecutors because he thought that an appeal would reveal seriously bad things and he wanted to preempt it; possibly he has a personal rivalry with this prosecutor; possibly he is setting the stage to protect Jefferson in some bizarre way.

Good points. What do they hope to gain from this? They are already giving up a fair amount of credibility. What are they gaining?
When President Bush fired those nine and got all that crap for it he missed this Obamanista.
I’m telling you, the corruption is rampant throughout the entire government and judicial system. Little by little while we went about our lives, it happened. Many years to get to this point, many years. I don’t know if we can ever change it. They all need to be thrown out, changes made and start over. I really see little hope for our poor America unless a miracle happens.
So, how was the deception discovered?
Figures. Who do so many get the feeling this will be a racial war? obummer has set racial relations 100 years. I doubt there will ever be another black president thanks to him.
That's very possible. Alaska is under particular attack now. Also remember that Palin came out strongly (like all GOPers) and rejected Stevens when he was convicted. But she's obviously suddenly realized that this was a selective prosecution and that much of it was a political ploy, and now she's in the midst of trying to get decent representation for Alaska.
What effect will this have on Palin and Alaska? That may be part of it. I honestly don't know, but believe me, if Eric Holder (who was behind the wildly illegal Elian Gonzales event and a number of other things that Reno did) is promoting this, it has nothing to do with justice, and there's a political motive behind it.
Pombo went out in 2006. He was targeted by the Dems, losing to McNerney. He was pushing hard for easing the Endangered Species Act, so he made lots of enemies. If you look on almost any thread, people kept bringing up an alleged association with Abramoff and Delay, despite any evidence ever being introduced or charges being brought. Some closer to his district may remember the details better than me. I just remember that it seemed like a constant smearing of the man, sans beef.
When discussing a leftist-led, high profile prosecution of a Republican sitting senator, to not hold the President accountable for his handling of the administration of justice is to ignore reality. He let a good man, Scooter Libby, go to the jailhouse door, with a ruined career, in similar circumstances.
I knew I'd get an apologist coming after me, but I think it needed to be said in any discussion of the Stevens travesty.

This is garbage. AK should have a new election. Can the state do a recall or have enough petitions to call for a new vote? This is crazy.
More Congressional Black Caucus, Frank,Dodd covering for Fannie & Freddie which cuased devastation to our financial system.
I don’t think that anyone was excusing Bush’s lack of control of the justice dept. It’s just ancient history. It was too late to get the control by the time Stevens was indicted.
I agree that Bush’s most egregious errors involved underestimating the enemy (the Democrats) and over estimating his own charisma.

We must assume that a political operative/scumbag like Holder is always operating with political motives, unless proven otherwise (highly unlikely in this case).
Either he knew the dirty laundry could not be kept hidden much longer so he decided to cut losses and try to take “credit” for the clean-up, or else he sees other benefits for himself and the Obama admin. and the Demagogues.
No way would he let any libscum prosecutors be thrown off the party train unless he thought the other alternatives were much worse.... such as the prosecutors were going down anyway and it would look much worse for Holder and the Democrats if he did not give them the boot first.
“the public trust”
Truly an anachonism.
Gone with the Wind.
The words “attorney” and “integrity” in the same sentence?
The federal prosecutor in WA state was fired by Bush for refusing to prosecute voter fraud in the 2004 election. The man claimed that there was no case because he could not prove RICO charges of conspiracy. What if they have emails or other contact information between the prosecutors in the Stevens case and the DNC? or Harry Reid? What if they could prove a conspiracy against the DNC?
A lot like the same Justice Department did to John Doolittle!!!
>>A lot like the same Justice Department did to John Doolittle!!!
Yep! And a long list of others, I think.
It’s stuff like this that coverts good people from being skeptical to being cynical!!! Radically so!!!
