Raleigh — The United States Attorney General suggested Sunday that his office might investigate the way District Attorney Mike Nifong has handled the Duke lacrosse rape case.
In an interview with Fox News on Sunday, United States Attorney General Alberto Gonzales confirmed he received a letter asking for a federal probe into the investigation, in which an exotic dancer claims three lacrosse players raped her at a March 13 party.
"Well, that is a letter that we recently received," Gonzales told Fox News' Brian Wilson. "It's being evaluated at the (Department of Justice). I can't say anything -- anything beyond that."

About time.
Too many people have seen this, for it to continue to be ignored. They're making fun of Nifong and Nancy Grance on Saturday Night Live, for cryin' out loud!

I think this may just happen. Nifong has been far too brazen about this.

Hasn't anyone told Gonzales that it's the "seriousness of the charge," not the nature of the evidence that's most important.
It matters not whether or not she was actually raped, she "feels" like she was raped and it "could" have happened as she describes. So, justice demands that those spoiled "white boys" be made to suffer as she has been made to suffer.
Who among us can't see this!
Geez!

"Possible"?
That sick scumbag Nifong should have been jailed long ago.
I hope that when this case is finally laughed out of court, the lawyers for the defendants will sue Nifong into oblivion.
To: Lancey Howard
Exactly the NC AG could end this tommorrow. While he cannot overrule Nifong, he could convene a grand jury and have Nifong indicted for obstruction of justice tommorrow.

Nifong has been far too brazen about this.Nifong fits the stereotypical pattern of the average Democrat, whether they be a regular citizen or a prosecutor.
They all think THEIR beliefs are so superior, so unassailable, that they should be perceived as God's gift to the world.

Nifong's career should be destroyed. How that case got as far as it has and has gone on for as long as it has is beyond me.

Will never happen. It would be seen a stoo political.
To: proudofthesouth
If Nifong intentionally suppressed exculpatory evidence that he had a duty to to reveal to the defendants, he should be disbarred, period, full stop, no if, ands, or buts.

This scumbag was up for re-election. He used this case to get his name out in the papers. All this while letting 3 innocent boys
sweat it out. Lowest of scum.
