Obama's Attorney General let Senator Stevens walk away from his felony convictions today because of prosecutorial misconduct.
The message? Prosecutions will be conducted legally, or the prosecutors themselves will suffer far worse than a behind-closed-doors verbal beating. These prosecutors, who had Stevens dead to rights, are now tarnished forever by the public knowledge that they let him get away because they failed to do their job legally. Furthermore, the Alaskan judge in charge of the case of leaning towards an investigation of the DoJ lawyers.
Excellent. I love seeing good precedents set. The entire US Attorney apparatus will learn from this day.
