"Using the press to demonize a suspect is the same tactic the FBI used on Richard Jewell. Mr. Jewel was accused of bombing the Atlanta Centennial Olympic Park. The FBI led the press to presume Mr. Jewell was guilty at every opportunity. Public pressure demanded results, and to serve a political need the FBI leaked details about the investigation. In the end, Mr. Jewell was exonerated, but his name and reputation was left in shambles.

"There is a pattern found when the FBI chooses to reveal details about an investigation prior to the actual trial. Each time it is a case that combines two factors; 1.) it is highly political and 2.) the hard evidence is questionable.

"There have been times throughout history when arresting and convicting someone serves a purpose so high in the minds of those in authority that they feel fully justified in subverting justice.

"Can you honestly tell me that the Clinton Administration did not subvert justice to serve what they felt was a higher good? I believe the Reno ruled Department of Justice saw this as an opportunity to politically protect abortion on demand.

Thanks for posting the article.
From the article: it will be a trial where the primary goal is not to achieve justice-but to gain political advantage.
All eyes will be on Buffalo, NY when the trial starts sometime next year.
