Former Senator Ted Stevens Was Railroaded

Former Republican Senator from Alaska, Ted Stevens Just days before voters decided whether Ted Stevens would be re-elected as Senator from Alaska, a jury found him guilty “ lying on a Senate disclosure form in order to hide $250,000 in gifts he received from an oil company executive and friends.” He was accused of ”failing to disclose hundreds of thousands of dollars of ‘freebies’ from an oilfield services company on Senate ethics forms. But in December, an unnamed FBI whistle-blower accused prosecutors of withholding evidence from the defense, and the Justice Department asked a judge to dismiss the charges against Stevens on Wednesday.” That ...

DOJ moves to set aside verdict against ex-senator Ted Stevens

Image via Wikipedia JURIST - Paper Chase: DOJ moves to set aside verdict against ex-senator Ted Stevens : The US Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a motion in federal court Wednesday seeking to set aside the verdict and dismiss the indictment on corruption charges against former senator Ted Stevens (R-AK). Absolutely appalling. Is this what happens when you hire based on politics? Is this the equivalent of management at FEMA during Katrina ? Lawyers may be the butt of many jokes, but most/all the attorneys I know attempt to uphold high standards of ethics. It's certainly what we're taught throughout law school. This kind ...

GUILTY!: Alaska Senator Ted Stevens (R)

From: ktracy.com

If you haven’t been following this case, Senator Stevens was on trial for criminal charges of corruption, including a huge renovation of his Alaska home, which he claims he knew nothing about. Yeah, we all knew where this was going from day one and it ended today: Guilty on 7 counts of criminal corruption . In fact, it was so obvious that Ted Stevens should have resigned, or at least announced that he wouldn’t seek re-election, as soon as he had the slightest inkling that the Feds were going to investigate him. If he had done that, Sarah Palin could have made an executive ... Read Full Story

Ted Got Caught Is That The Moral?

From: www.vadimuspost.com

by Denis Campbell Look how the self-righteous are coming out of the woodwork to save their collective endangered backsides now that one of their own is in big trouble. John McCain led the charge calling on Alaska Senator Ted Stevens to resign from his Senate seat. Was that ‘Country First’ or ‘Save Me First,’ Senator? The message was parsed thusly, “Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens needs to resign because he has broken his trust with the people.” Very somber and noble. Many though wondered where Alaska Governor and Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin was? Conspicuously silent for hours after John McCain and Mitch McConnell threw ... Read Full Story

Congressman Don Young and Senator Ted Stevens Likely To Survive Election

Written by

Semp on

From: ktracy.com

Since I don’t believe in political miracles in democracy, I’m left wondering just how corrupt the state of Alaska is. I accuse the state of corruption because I’m seriously that shocked that both Don Young and Ted Stevens survived the night and are both poised to be re-elected despite a criminal corruption conviction against Senator Ted Stevens last month and investigations into criminal corruption for both Don Young and his son (also in state politics). Both of these men are Republicans, but because Mike Huckabee was so closely aligned with Young in the primaries and even endorsed him in Young’s own primary against a ... Read Full Story
