Two U.S. Attorneys investigated into political prosecutions.





From Raw Story:
Mississippi US Attorney said to share tax returns of one of his targets with “unauthorized personnel”
The US Justice Department’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) is investigating the conduct of at least two specific US Attorneys in the “selective prosecution” of former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman, sitting Mississippi Supreme Court Justice Oliver E. Diaz Jr., and Mississippi attorney Paul Minor, according to attorneys close to the investigation.
In a May 5 letter sent to House Judiciary Committee chairman John Conyers (D-MI), OPR Director H. Marshall Jarrett wrote that OPR “currently has pending investigations involving, among others, allegations of selective prosecution relating to the prosecutions of Don Siegelman, Georgia Thompson, Oliver Diaz and Paul Minor.”


RAW STORY has confirmed that Leura Canary, the US Attorney for the Middle District of Alabama, and Dunnica Lampton, the US Attorney for the Southern District of Mississippi , are under investigation. Their offices are also being probed.

Canary’s office prosecuted Siegelman; Lampton’s office prosecuted Diaz and Minor. The US Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, Steven Biskupic, who prosecuted Georgia Thompson, was not mentioned by those familiar with the probe.

Neither Canary's office nor Lampton's office responded to calls for comment.

Memo to Congress: Don't forget USA of Alabama and Canary's buddy, Alice Martin.

Finally their investigating the bird lady. Now let's see how AG Musk Rat handles this problem. He will have to step in to stop this and save the White House Criminal Team yet again.
