A court-appointed special prosecutor has determined that serious misconduct by Justice Department prosecutors tainted the federal investigation and trial of former Sen. Ted Stevens, according to a report released Thursday.

"The government introduced false business records to boost the value of renovations on the Senator's Alaska home. It also hid from the defense the evidence needed to show that the value was much less than the government claimed, including evidence that its key witness disagreed with the government about the value of the renovations," Stevens defense lawyers Brendan Sullivan and Robert Cary said in a statement.

Following the trial, the FBI's Chad Joy filed a whistleblower complaint with the District Court alleging that the lead FBI agent on the case, Mary Beth Kepner, might have had an inappropriate relationship with Allen, the government's star witness, and that the agent was allegedly telling potential witnesses about grand jury information before trial.

Pray we can change that and all the other Marxist BS in November.

This was the same Bush-led Justice Department that went after Curt Weldon. It never even got an indictment in that one although it did push him out of office.

Bush’s DOJ was a disaster. Where were the indicted democrats?

These were supposed “career” people. That came to mean, “Clinton hires”. He should have fired the whole tier of existing government employees when he took office. I always thought he was too trusting of the claim that career people were “nonpartisan”.

SOP for the leftists...Their motto is “It's not whether a accusation is true or not, it's the severity of the charges”

That's their criteria, the bastards.

Breaking laws to bring conservatives down is no problem for them

Doesn’t happen until We the People make it happen. At the ballot box. With 535 Tea Party types.

IMHO...here's the real issue. If “they”...the snotty liberal bureaucrats running DC...can do this to one of their immediate “bosses”...a sitting US Senator, they certainly can do this to any one of their other bosses, “We the People” ...in which case its now official. We work for them.
