Eric Holder the Attorney General of the US has released Ted Stevens of all charges in the case against Stevens for accepting bribes by receiving gifts and remodelling to his home for over $ 250,000.00. Critics are outraged at the lack of judgement displayed by the Attorney General’s Office in this case and if there are cases against the AIG insurance debauchal -there will be severe repercussions to the Obama administration.
The former Alaskan Republican Senator Stevens had been removed from office as Senator during the 2008 Election campaign for President.
This does not appear to be justice as Holder named the cause of the charges being dropped to ” the misconduct of the prosecution” in the case. There was obviously graff involved in Stevens acceptance of gifts and the longer a politician stays in office the more gifts seem acceptable. Stevens has already been convicted of charges previously and the complete 360 turn around seems not only awkward but unbelievably unjust.
No wonder Obama left town -or the timing of this statement of charges being dropped was planned. Most democrats thought the time was right for an April Fools Day joke on those who thought Obama’s administration would be any better than the Bush administration. This politics as usual will be working against Holder in his new position.
