Sen. Feingold's Statement on US Atty Flap

by Michael Leon

From Sen. Feingold's site:

Statement of U.S. Senator Russ Feingold on the 7th Circuit Court Decision to Release Georgia Thompson and the Ongoing U.S. Attorney Investigation
April 10, 2007

“The Seventh Circuit acted decisively to correct what appears to have been a miscarriage of justice in the Georgia Thompson case. In light of ongoing concerns about the politicization of U.S. Attorneys' offices around the country, I am seeking further information from the Department of Justice on how this case and voter fraud cases after the 2004 election came about and whether there was improper political pressure to pursue them.”

The victims in this affair were not just the American public, but specifically Georgia Thompson, a profile in courage.
