Netroots Nation will be sponsoring a blogger’s convention panel in Pittsburgh on Saturday, August 15th.
Netroots reporters can penetrate the Bush administration’s investigation of hundreds of Democratic elected officials at a 7:1 rate over Republicans. Experts will show how dubious Justice Department corruption prosecutions secretly altered the U.S. political map, and destroyed the lives of targeted officials (some Republican) and their families. Learn why DoJ, federal courts and traditional media have such difficulty examining complaints fully—even from clear-cut prosecution misconduct and even years after the White House scandal of firing mid-term U.S. attorneys. Penetrate the process, and see why web-based journalists remain the last best hope for justice, both locally and nationally.
This research project’s revelations about the Justice Department’s prosecution of former Gov. Don Siegelman are organized into the following articles, with photos and hotlinks to sources:
