Feds End Prosecution of GOP Organizer

BANGOR, Maine—The federal government has ended its prosecution of a former Republican political organizer accused of making false statements to FBI agents investigating a plot to jam Democratic phone lines in New Hampshire on Election Day 2002.

The case against James Tobin of Bangor came to a quiet conclusion with a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston mandate dismissing an appeal by prosecutors.

Tobin was cleared in federal court in New Hampshire of taking part in the plot to arrange more than 800 hang-up calls that jammed get-out-the-vote phone lines.

Then the government brought charges in Maine of lying to investigators, and a judge dismissed those. The appeals court ruling, first reported by the Bangor Daily News, was issued last week.

Ted Stevens... James Tobin...

How many more guilty Republicans have to be set free before an innocent Democrat will be given justice?

2. I keep reminding Eric Holder of Siegelman's case...

3. You'd think the republicans were still running things...

...maybe they are.

6. It's not the republiCons running things. It's the corporations. nm

8. True. But we all complained about what the pukes were doing and that hasn't changed much

So, it's a lot like having the other guys still in charge.

The real question is: Who can we possibly put in charge to clean up this mess now that it's obvious the Dems won't?

10. I don't see a way. Those in control have most of the money. They can literally get away

with anything they wish. We have the last eight years to prove it. IMHO the difference between the repukes and the Democrats in charge is that the repukes want to kill the goose the sooner the better, while the DLC thinks it is smarter to kill the goose slower.

4. Is bush's AG still in office?

That's what it seems like!

[garybeck]

7. it appears that way.

but wait, it was under Bush when Ted Stevens was prosecuted. This makes no sense at all. :shrug:

9. One theory floating around is that Stevens' prosecution was intentionally botched under Bush
