One thing you can add to the list of why you hated the Bush administration? They engaged in prosecutorial misconduct during Sen. Ted Stevens trial by failing to turn over exculpatory material to the defense. Because of this, Attorney General Eric Holder has decided to drop all charges and let the corrupt master of the intertubes go scot-free. Holder also considered Stevens’ age and the fact that he no longer serves in the Senate. A conspiracy theorist might guess that the Republicans sabotaged their own prosecution in order to let Stevens get off, but this is a huge scarlet letter on the resumes of the prosecutors. They actually did this because they were either stupid or they just wanted to win too badly.
The end result, however, is one more example of a powerful white guy committing a crime and not having to serve jail time.
