So if he sued for civil rights violations, I wonder what he could collect. What's the cost of losing re-election?

He would be a moron to sue. Because then Justice would say "fine, we let's go to trial again."

Plus he's 85. You don't think a jury in Alaska would fry the US Government? I do.

The guy is crooked. Palms were greased. The only argument was whether the greasing was illegal or merely unethical.

I'm not surprised prosecutors behave this way. Par for the course. It gives me confidence in America that these types of things can get fixed like this, at least for the rich and famous. Stevens is innocent. Period.

You sound like 3D saying Junior had to have done steroids because all the rest did.

A deposed Republican Senator greased a Democratic administration?

No way. It must have been so egregious what was done to shock the conscience.

He probably was more than innocent.

The allegations of the prosecutorial misconduct was outlandish, "failure to deliver exculpatory evidence" is a denial of a constitutional right and conjuring up false evidence?

It sounds like the Duke Lacrosse case all over again.
