Alice is in trouble again... Meet Democratic Sen. E.B. McClain.
From Legal Schnauzer:
Inside a Selective Prosecution, Part II
It's been a newsy week for Alice Martin, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Alabama.First, she went on the defense against charges from Birmingham attorney Doug Jones that her office is practicing partisan politics with its handling of the Alabama two-year colleges scandal.Then came news that Martin was handing down another indictment in the two-year case. This time the target was E.B. McClain, a state Senator and Democrat from the Birmingham suburb of Midfield.
Throughout the week came reports that the Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) is investigating several U.S. attorneys for practicing exactly what Jones alleges--the selection of prosecutions based on politics. The probe reportedly is focusing on cases in Alabama (Don Siegelman), Mississippi (Paul Minor), and Wisconsin (Georgia Thompson).
Counsel H. Marshall Jarrett is leading the OPR investigation, and if it is legitimate, Martin surely will be in the crosshairs. After all, she instigated the first Siegelman prosecution, which a federal judge kicked out of court before it could even get started.
Side note one: Alice Martin succeeded Jones.
Side note two: A 50-count federal criminal indictment charges state Sen. E.B. McClain with taking more than $300,000 in grant money for himself, or about half of the money he helped a Birmingham non-profit group obtain for the area's poor and disadvantaged students.

Yeah, I think New York, Illinois, and Alabama are in the top five for corrupt states.
Yeah, cat, but Queen Alice needs to go. There is so much going on with Alabama with this USA thatthe House committee needs to probe Martin and her conduct.
