Here’s another take on ex-Congressman Stockman stating he is innocent of the criminal charges made. Sounds like a railroad job.

Smells a lot like the DoJ prosecution of Alaska US Senator Ted Stevens in 2008. You know the one where he lost his reelection bid and then the DoJ ‘discovered’ prosecutorial misconduct and voided the indictment thus voiding the criminal conviction. Will be instructive to see how the appeal comes out.

Sounds like a Presidential pardon might be in order.

“Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions did nothing to stop it. “

We know all about Jeff Sessions.

We can trust him. Remember? Or was that brilliant disinformation? I can’t keep track. Wondering when the plan is going to be implemented so we get real justice for real criminals.

Thank God for Freerepublic.

I was starting to buy into the lie that Stockman was a crook.

Now it turns out this was just more prosecutorial political misconduct.

Prosecutors can convene as many grand juries as it takes to get the indictments they want.

Prosecutors have been given immunity far beyond anything reasonable, by the Supreme Court, and fairly recently, about the 1970’s as I recall.

They can lie, recruit false witnesses, and have personal conflicts of interest. They are immune if the case is not brought to trial, and mostly above the law if it is.

How can this be? Surely Silent Executioner Sessions wouldn’t allow such injusice! Stockman must be a bad human being!

This is how it works. The laws are open ended. They allow prosecutors to convict anyone of anything. THAT is the purpose of the laws.

By convicting innocent people, they get the numbers up, and claim they are fighting crime.

The government is not your friend.

Stockman believes he was targeted because of his conservative activism. He was known for boldly opposing President Obama. He was a Congressional whistleblower on Obama administration corruption, with such actions as ... exposing President Obama’s payment to the Haqqani terrorist network in exchange for the release of Army deserter Bowe Bergdahl…

I think Obama, in addition to paying the Haqqanis, also let this guy go: Mullah [Mohammad Fazl] was held responsible by the UN for the massacre of thousands of Hazara Shias in Bamian* and Yakaolang between 1998 and 2001 during the Taliban rule in Afghanistan. ------- The best of both worlds for the Taliban Breitbart's The Conversation ^ | June 11, 2014 | John Hayward ____ * see destruction of Bamian Buddhas
