The U.S. attorney and state attorney general last week said they did not close their investigations into the crash of U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman's 2006 campaign Web site until after the November election that year.

The agencies were responding to an April 9 story in The Advocate that said the FBI cleared Lieberman's opponent, Ned Lamont, of involvement in the crash of joe2006.com two weeks before Election Day.

"They acknowledge letting the Lieberman campaign know and never letting anybody from the Lamont (campaign) know," Swan said.

Federal authorities sat on the FBI e-mail for political purposes, Swan said.

2. My pleasure to be the 2nd Recommend. My take is that nothing will

be done to punish those involved. Another crime committed by our Federal Government. It's tampering with an election.

3. this is why we need recall elections for federal officials.... recall them and jail them.

4. Blumenthal lost my vote

He's thinking about running for Gov again. He'll probably chicken out because Gov "snow white" Rell has indicated she likes living in the Gov's mansion.

7. So Joe accused Ned of this, even as he knew it was his own campaign's fault?

It is evident to me that this clearly falls under the definition of slander and defamation of character, but considering that candidates are essentially given more free speech rights than any other person in the country, it'd be a hard sell to a judge. Nevertheless, something needs to be done, be it a censure or even an impeachment of Lieberman. And next time Joe comes up for election, I'd love to see a 527 or PAC run a string of ads blasting as harshly as they can against Joe.
