Feaga Shows Political Bias
June 22nd, 2007It has come to my attention that assistant U.S. attorney Steve Feaga, who is the one who recommended 30 years in prison for Siegelman, was also on the Jimmy Evans Attorney General team, a Democratic team, which recommended no jail time for Guy Hunt in 1993. Let’s see.
What are the diferences in the two cases?
Hunt was a Republican who profited personally from his position. He was convicted of stealing $200,000 in inaugural money and spending it on home improvements and expensive suits.
Siegelman’s sin was being a Democrat, who received no personal gain from the federal case made in Montgomery, which is not even a crime under state law. It’s an example of the Feds misusing the RICO statutes passed to catch the Mafia.
Feaga has so far failed to return a phone call seeking comment on this issue. And the right-wing bloggers doubt this is a political prosecution?
Can you say, “Head in the sand?”
Here’s a good test of objectivity. How would you like it if the shoe were on the other foot? That is, if it was a bunch of Democrats going after a Republican governor in federal court, would you still support the sentence?
