The DOJ has decided to drop all charges, even after a conviction, against Alaska Senator Ted Stevens. This isn't exactly surprising given the amount of bungling in the case, mixed with Stevens' age. However, official Washington -- including the media -- is greeting Stevens with open arms as if his misconduct, which was great and illegal, never happened. The fact that charges were dropped doesn't change that fact and the facts are well known and proven. It is a fine example of anything goes in DC as long as you either don't get caught or cannot be convicted in a court of law. It is disgusting.
A good article on this can be found at TPM.
