Stunning federal corruption case moving forward with almost no media attention

...Corrupt federal prosecutors presenting false evidence in order to shake down a blameless corporation and bring in tens of millions of dollars seems like a pretty dramatic story. Especially when former prosecutors support the charge and a chief judge acts on the allegations and takes dramatic action. Yet the media silence is deafening.

Eric Holder’s Justice Department is implicated in a dramatic and shocking case of alleged corruption that is so bad that the Chief Judge of the Eastern District of California has taken what can rightly be called the “nuclear option” and recused all the judges in the district from the casebecause they may have been defrauded by the DoJ prosecutors.

When the time comes Mr. Obama will issue a blanket pardon to holder which will shield him from everything. Much as Bush SHOULD HAVE DONE BUT DIDN’T for Scooter Libby.

It’s encouraging to see Judge England join Judge Emmet G. Sullivan and Judge Bates, and others, as our Article III judges begin to demand that federal attorneys and agents follow the law and their oaths of office.

Absolutely, and it's past time to start charging investigators, prosecutors and judges in conspiracies such as this and giving them a fair trial before putting them in slammers for a very long time.

” There is a myth in everyone deserving a fair trial.”

A myth? So what do you propose? Imprisonment/execution based on allegation?

Justice when the offense is obvious.

What is the need for a trial when the murderer is standing over the body with a smoking gun and no other weapon in sight? How is that defensible?

In most cases the only answers are “Yes. No. No excuse.”

I'm thinking the Grand Jury and Presentment could go a long way in making this a reality.

Summary execution, then allegation/trial?

George Zimmerman.
The jury found him not to be a murderer.

The attorney has used the same defense before in a murder trial of a woman who killed a young mother in broad daylight at a child care and took her infant. This defendant killed three people in a drunken head on. How can you defend that and be a man of principle? There is a myth in everyone deserving a fair trial.

the defense attorney normally knows whether or not his client committed the crime...However, since everyone is, indeed, entitled to a fair trial, is is the OBLIGATION of the defense to insure that a fair trial is conducted. We don't need vigilante justice...a few guilty do get off (O.J.Simpson for example) But, I assure you that if you were the accused, guilty or not, you'd want a fair trial

If I murdered and got caught I’d expect what I deserved. If I killed in self-defense it would be different of course.

We are splitting hairs here. We both know what kind of situation I’m talking about and the cases where the trial should be simply a formality. Far too often that formality turns into just what we are doing now parsing words and equivocating over points of procedure looking for loopholes. Points of procedure that invoke technicalities that let guilty people walk free or with reduced sentences and allow them to continue to terrorize society. It has happened too many times and the crime still demands justice. Some dogs have no place in society. They are usually clearly apparent.

We disagree. It is the soft on crime and the “fair trial” meme that has gotten us where we are. It is true that anything carried to the extreme is extreme but we’ve lost balance. We forgot about the Yes, NO or No Excuse and instead have allowed fabricated excuses to become the norm.

I’m glad I’m not the defense attorney who has the OBLIGATION to defend someone clearly guilty. I’d have to kill myself in shame. Some jobs just are not worth having.

The Obama/Holder cartel has done more damage to America than the drug cartels have done to Mexico.

Nothing surprises me anymore.
