During the Bush administration, a certain zealot lawyer at the Justice Department had this great idea of hiring lawyers affiliated with the GOP party only. Liberal leaning lawyers from the best law schools in the country could not pass muster let alone the GOP's litmus test did not stand a chance of getting hired. Hiring was based on ideology! How pathetic.... What I could not understand though and may never know: why did they go after Sen. Stevens, a fellow Republican? These lawyers who were hired based on their ideologies (not really the best and the brightest) withheld crucial information from the defense lawyers, had a few contempt of court during the trial and was admonished by the judge a few times. Sen. Stevens was found guilty in October 2008, about a week before election. Armed with this information, the Alaskan voters decided Sen. Stevens fate.
After a thorough investigation by the current AG, it was recommended that the case against Sen. Stevens be thrown out. Does Sen. Stevens have a recourse?
