Stevens found guilty in Alaska!

That's true. Now if we could just get Barney and his other barnyard friends
in front of a judge, we might just get something done in Washington.

Why do you always turn threads to sexuality?

There will be an appeal.

He can afford it.

Appeal will drag on for years.

He won't do time or pay a fine.

He'll probably die before the appealing is exhausted.

The U.S. Cons ution was set up to protect the people from oppressive central government. One British tactic was to "convict" American leaders and then have them removed form office.

Senator Stevens is a victim of oppressive central government. I am no fan of the republicans, but this case stinks. For one thing, the charges are petty and it's been blown up into 7 felonies. It should be a civil case. The prosecution also rigged the trial by withholding vital exculpatory evidence. Stevens will likely win a new trial.

I suspect that Stevens was taken out because he opposes the neocon agenda. I hope he wins re-election and serves another term, Either from prison or on bail awaiting the appeals court ruling.

So Ted Stevens is a victim of a conspiracy?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HA!!!!!


"THEY" did it.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HA!!!

Colin Powell's recent endorsement of Stevens is yet another stain on Powell's public life.

And yet, the only public figure with higher positive ratings is Hussein himself.

What do you mean, you can't borrow a chair for 7 years?

Scratch one more Republican senator.

That should make 6 automatic Dem gains: 5 retiring GOPs and one convicted felon.

McConnell, Dole, Norm Coleman, and Snowe are fighting for their lives.

Now I agree with part of what you say here. I agree he was 'taken out.' However, I would tend to believe by democrats rather than republicans. Either way, he is probably guilty and deserves to be out. I only wish the same standards of media and legal attention applied to democrats.

U.S. prosecutors in the case of the late Alaska Senator Ted Stevens repeatedly hid evidence that could have exonerated him from corruption charges, according to an investigative report released on Thursday that found misconduct by Justice Department lawyers.


The prosecutors intentionally withheld and concealed information from Stevens' defense lawyers that included witness statements, key details that could have undermined prosecutors' star witnesses and allowed false testimony to be presented during his 2008 trial, the report said.


Stevens' main defense attorney, Brendan Sullivan, "was not aware when he gave his opening statement, and never learned during or after the trial, that the prosecutors possessed evidence that directly corroborated Senator Stevens' defense," the report said.

Even bags deserve a fair trial. The prosecutors in the case need to be, well, prosecuted.

[Winehole23]

for that very reason, they won't be. people might lose confidence.

I really hate to agree with you on this, but that is often how real life is. I wish I could have more confidence in our federal, state, and local governments.

Each case is different. Over the years, in my opinion based on observation, it appears it takes a great deal more evidence against a liberal or democrat before the M$M's are willing to take the story. The allegation alone seems to always put the conservative or republic in the crosshairs.
