WASHINGTON (AP) - FBI agents spent years investigating Sen. Ted Stevens. They read his e-mails, searched his home and taped his phone conversations with his friends. This week, the Justice Department offered its first public glimpse at what it uncovered: a direct line of communication from a corrupt Alaska oil contractor to one of the nation's most powerful senators. When VECO Corp. executives needed help securing business, winning grants or navigating the bureaucracy, they called Stevens.And when Stevens needed a new generator for his house, a car for his daughter or a job for his son, prosecutors say he called VECO, the same company that oversaw an extensive renovation project on his home. The Justice Department didn't bring charges against Stevens for any of that, but they want jurors to see the evidence. Stevens goes on trial next month, not for bribery but for concealing the renovation project and other gifts on Senate financial disclosure forms. Stevens, the longest-serving Republican senator, is in the midst of an unusually contentious re-election campaign. He says the Justice Department is using innuendo to accuse him of bribery without having to charge it.

Would you or I get this treatment? Would you or I get this favor? NO - Heck No! I would be under the jail not in it! Why do these people, Stevens, Kennedy, Rangle and many many others get these favors? Justice is suppose to be blind NOT stupid! Do they think we are blind or just plain stupid? Answet that! I ain't neither!
