79. Gee, you really don't understand the law, do you?
Edited on Mon Jan-31-05 12:10 AM by merh
To be prosecuted for a crime a prosecutor must investigate and have a grand jury hear the evidence and return an indictment or the prosecutor must file a criminal complaint on his own. Since the AG is the state prosecutor that is responsible for investigating such crimes (Ohio state laws have been violated) and he is a repuke that is protecting his party, as are the county prosecuting attornies in the counties where these things occurred, it seems that they are not interested in investigating, let alone filing charges. Rep. Conyers has asked the FBI to investigate, but the FBI is an arm of the DOJ and the DOJ is run by the weed's admin and they have not been quick to investigate or get involved. Also, it is up to the DOJ (again, controlled by the admin) to investigate and prosecute for violations of the Voting Rights Act.

BTW - this is not a dem issue, so expecting only dem lawyers to file suit is silly. Civil litigation is different from criminal prosecutions. The attorneys in Ohio are still contemplating their options or don't you read all posts in the silly threads you start?
