E-Mail Provides Explosive Evidence of Political Prosecution

An e-mail from the federal corruption case of former Georgia senate majority leader Charles Walker should send chills down the spine of every American. More importantly, it should spark a widespread Congressional investigation into alleged political prosecutions, including those of Don Siegelman (Alabama), Paul Minor (Mississippi), and Cyril Wecht (Pennsylvania).

Scott Horton, legal-affairs contributor at Harper's, reports on efforts by Walker's attorneys to show that his prosecution was a political hit job. That included unearthing e-mails from a U.S. attorney's office in Georgia. One e-mail is particularly ugly.

********************

Writes Horton:

In one email, Morgan Perry, the director of the Senate Republican Caucus, notes that Walker is the target of research by Republican campaign organizations trying to link him to criminal conduct, and says that "it’s up to us to take him out."

*********************

This is shocking stuff. And Horton puts it in context:

The email creates the inescapable impression that the U.S. Attorney’s investigation of Walker was being coordinated with Republican political operatives and was done in the interests of giving the party an advantage in upcoming elections.

9. How many of the Bush moles personally selected for their political biases

are still in place throughout the Justice Department? You know, the ones who passed their interviews with that ace interviewer, Monica Goodling? How about those swell folks who effectively shut down the Wage and Hours Division by simply not investigating or responding to complaints? How about those other swell folks who all but dismantled the Civil Rights division?

16. Those are good questions

The next question is how many moles are elsewhere in other departments and agencies which may be undermining the current administration?

15. Wow. I read another story about Cyril Wecht, famous forensic scientist, mentioned above.

He spent 8 million defending against bullshit charges like using the official fax machine for personal business.

Fuck.
