According to the Times Union and Daily Gazette, federal prosecutors are looking into charges against former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter.

Both papers reported Saturday morning that State Supreme Court Justice Joseph Teresi has signed an order to unseal Ritter's files. The papers reported the unsealing was at the request of the US Attorney's Office in Albany.

The US Attorney's Office has not commented on the unsealing of Ritter's record. But the Times Union reported this move could result in further prosecution on the federal level.

Wonder how much we'll ever actually know about it though.

Well, this is most interesting.

Can a legal type explain why the result could be:

OSTENSIBLY, they'll be looking to see if if his chat room predations can be considered federal offenses...which they might. There are different degrees of felonies.

Of course, now that the feds know it's THE Ritter who's telling us to ignore tortured kids in children's prisons in the name of peace, chanting "impeach Bush" and is the DARLING of the rabid left wing...you can betcha they're looking for something much deeper than this...if they haven't got it already.

LOL...they were probably checking right after the story broke on the NBC affiliate in Albany...days before the national news even started to bother with it.

Why does this come under Federal jurisdiction?
Is it because of the crime being over state lines on the Internet, or is there suspected corruption in the DA office?

Good ! I hope they throw Ritter UNDER the jail, and throw away the key...

Yesterday that cartoon wouldn't post and I couldn't get to their website (wait, wait, wait). It's working today. I guess they were having trouble due to the Internet disruptions yesterday?...
