Alabama Judicial Scandal Could Taint Many Cases, Not Just Siegelman's

Is there a path to Rove through Alabama?

http://www.opednews.com/articles/Alabama-Judicial-Scandal-C-by-Andrew-Kreig-120517-323.html

The headline was "Federal judge's lengthy affair with court worker is exposed."

This is a scandal not simply for the judge, Mark Everett Fuller, shown above in a photo by my research colleague Phil Fleming. It is a lifetime shame for those in the Justice Department, federal court system and the United States Senate who have coddled and protected him for an entire decade during his obvious previous disgraces.

Fuller and his court staff were able to hide from public view a 180-page impeachment filing against him in 2003 with no apparent attempt at investigation. In 2006, he presided over one of the nation's most sinister political prosecutions in modern times. The defense did not know that the judge was also being enriched via a military contracting company, Doss Aviation, receiving hundreds of millions of dollars in no-bid Bush contracts.

A corrupt federal judge is in position to create vast harm in both civil and criminal cases, especially when he controls the court administrative system, as Fuller did during a seven-year term from 2004 to 2011 as chief judge for Alabama's most important federal district. This is the middle district surrounding the capital city of Montgomery.

Media being BFEE and all, they miss Rove and his masters' criminality and treasons -- including railroading Gov. Siegelman.

Goes back a ways...Nov. 22, 1963.
