Clintons have always had nuclear bomb on Bush Family and obviously, visa versa.
To these power elites, better to share power, than to mutually self destruct.
Can't a Clinton appointed judge be honest? At least honest enough to not want to be obviously biased. So someone bought and paid for the DA. Go and watch Prosecutors and Defense Attorneys all over this country. After they work against each other in court, they go out for drinks together. They belong to the same club, and their wives and children play together. Just like Democrat and Republican Presidents. Even ones that are patently corrupt hang out with the church going straight lace types. Maybe the corruption runs through them both?
That is a very stupid statement. The WH has nothing to do with this. Peter Zeidenberg is part of the US Department of Justices public integrity division and is insulated to some extent from whatever administration is in power.
Re#42 True, however, my skepticism is fueled by the host of Clinton appointees (at the trial court level) that consistently protected the 'Toons, only to be reversed on appeal. We'll see how this one pans out. Unfortunately, due to the lack of coverage, there's not a whole lot of 'expert' opining on the proceedings a la Jacko's trial. Oh well....
There's no appeal if he's let off.
True, but it goes to a jury. Tough to figure but we'll see. Perhaps the DOJ doesn't want to have to turn over the tape to the defense in 'discovery' (although I would think that's already done) and may have enough on Rosen already: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1405198/posts
Weiner Nation KOOK ALERT!!!
The fix has been in since Inauguration Day 2001 when Pres. Bush decided to gloss over the trashing of the White House by the Clinton staff.
And your explanation for this is... what again? Hm. These are the same Republicans that can't bear to assert their rights in Congress and actually force a vote on the floor.
Man, you're easy to please.
One aspect of this story I never see is that if Rosen is found guilty, doesn't that make Hillary Clinton guilty as well?... of receiving stolen property?
Receiving stolen property is a crime whether or not you knew the stuff was stolen when you received it.
Oh yes, does'nt this make you want to to donate your time and money to the GOP campaign in 2006 or what?
Sounds like Hellery has some tapes too...and someone knows that she'll use them if she has to. Obviously, the Justice Dept. is no match for that cut-throat schemer when even the Clintoon judge, who declared her innocent before the trial opened, can't believe his ears when they throw the case. Truly stinky.
Just makes me wanna go out there and open up my penny bank!

Tell that to the four or five guys in prison for bribing Bob Torricelli with cash and lavish gifts.
Meanwhile Bobs busy acting as ombudsman for a $500 million dollar toxic cleanup site in NJ. Bobs job is to make sure all the financial deals between NJ, the waste management, construction, hauling, and environmental companies are strictly above board. No deals go through without Bobs approval. He is the final arbiter.
Despite Bobs shakey ethical past, the Clinton-appointed judge who selected him for the position is confident that Bob will ensure that that half billion dollars is not subject to graft or theft.
In an interesting coinkydink, that judges nomination for his position was forwarded to President Clinton by none other than (suspense builds bet you cant guess ) Senator Bob Torricelli.
They operate under entirely different rules than you and I.
THEN, if the Defendant sought to claim that the testimony was not true, the tape would become evidence that the Defendant was lying. In short, this may be a tactic to force the defense to put this tape in, or concede the criminal conversation.
Only if this is that kind of jujitsu move, does it make sense. I need to see a better description than NewsMax has provided here, to know whether that is the case. If so, NewsMax has gotten its knickers in a twist over a trial tactic, rather than a critical evidentiary concession.

The Judge said last week that this trial will not be about Hillary Clinton. We already know she is riding free and clear on this. TYPICAL!
We know only a small part of what is on the tape. What we don't know may be dynamite in another area which will be pursued.
