Hi
Check out the comments on the story itself.

on stevens, he was prosecuted by the federal judiciary in alaska which was repiublican. he was actually convicted. he was awaiting sentencing when the NEW federal prosecutor, now a democrat, was directed by the new president, also a democrat, to file a motion to vacate the conviction on an ehtics charge since he was no longer a senator having been defeated in the election and the purpose of the action, to removce him from office had been obtained and it saw no reason to prosecute/persecute an old man. but he was convicted on the charge of accepting home improvements and then lying about it. and he admittedly got a break on the case from the new administration.

Claycity, its not just the Republicans that bully, look at Stevens in Alaska, he was bullied by Democrats and falsely convicted now they are investigating the prosecutor and all involved in the case, all of which are Democrats. ALL of our current politicians need to go, from City of Mobile to President of US.  ALL of them need to be sent a message that the American people are tired of the way things are done and we do want our country and our Constitution back.

i will file an ethics complaint if they do, i sm so tired of this political bullying the republicans are so famous for. you are either for us or against us is b.s. its what they say when we dont fall in line with the rhetorc they are spouting

What happened to freedom of speech? The News Stations are here for the people. A Political Official should not be using his position or our tax money to try to intimidated our uncensored   Press. As for as the money he needs to use his personal money to rebut the accusations. But if our tax money is burning a hole in his pocket we need it in Mobile County for Private Dirt Roads.
