There’s finally, a conclusion to Stevens ex Rep – Senator, Alaska, corruption trial. This mockery of justice, tax cost of millions, half a decade long witch hunt comes to an end amidst a PR nightmare. In a nut shell I will sum up the federal governments legal partisan ping pong. The Dems, thought they had caught a live one, Repub. Senator Stevens, Alaska, while still sitting in office. The federal prosecutors were forced to launch an investigation for corruption into Steven’s home remodel even though a Republican President sat in the White House. Apparently Stevens did not disclose a big chair, stain glass window and a sculpture in his Senate documents. (Shoot, I thought those where Ms. Stevens stuff) This activity, of course, had a direct affect on the Republicans bid for President and Vice-President, frickin repubs, their probably all crooks. And once the Dems won the highest office in the land the prosecution went on with renewed zeal. Yes, our ‘neutral’ federal prosecutors, paid outta our taxes, committed vast resources to nail Stevens ass to the wall. Stevens barely lost his Senate seat in a race with Democrat Mark Begich. Stevens was a 40 year veteran in congress and a WW2 veteran.
Okay, maybe a couple nut shells, but I’m a getting there. U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan said of the prosecutors "In nearly 25 years on the bench, I've never seen anything approaching the mishandling and misconduct that I've seen in this case." So a guilty Stevens got off because of our legal servants lied and cheated and acted in a complete partisan manner, they figured it was payback time. Whoever gets on top gets to screw the other guy, using our money, so this blatant gun slinging has been going on since George Washington was president, ping pong with legal bullets. The prosecutors will now be investigated by a different federal prosecutor and most likely they will lose their license to practice law. The case will prove career-ending for those prosecutors in the Justice Department's public corruption unit.
Stevens, who may have accepted some hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of a chair, a window and a statue, will get no punishment and has declared victory on the court house steps. Stevens will sue the Federal Justice Department for several million dollars worth of legal bills, he will win. The Justice Department is suing itself, that will cost us another umpteen million above what we have already spent. These Demo antics will also derail the corruption investigation into other public officials, including Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, who has been under scrutiny by the same prosecutors now under investigation.
The only conclusion I can come up with concerning this political war is that we are the biggest losers. For a couple pieces of furniture we paid out millions to support this squabble. The only personal satisfaction I can think of is to go right down to a full session of congress, drink a gallon of root beer, and barf over the visitor’s rail, I really don’t care if I splatter a Dem or a Repub. Maybe I’ll get lucky and splat both.
