Something never quite made sense...

During the Democratic National Convention -- there were a few arrests made by white supremacists that were conspiring to assassinate Barack Obama.

The U.S. District Attorney for Denver let the guys go.

Please read that again.... he ... let ... the ... guys ... go.

When I first heard that -- I was like: "you've got to be kidding!!"

The man has a Secret Service detail, even if they were "meth heads" as Troy Eid tries to portray them ... you don't have to be sufficiently organized to be prosecuted for threatening someone like a President or Presidential candidate. Look at how "organized" John Hinkley Jr. was -- and the courts found him LOONEY in the head -- so go figure.

The story always stuck in my craw and now it would appear that there's good reason why. Crooksandliars.com reports that Troy Eid has been under scrutiny by other legal experts who also didn't understand his decision not to prosecute. Crooksandliars track to the original findings as reported by RAW which said:

"Certainly when there's a state of mind requirement in a crime, 'knowingly,' for example, you could say as a logical matter that somebody can't do something knowingly while under the influence. But there are these other laws, sometimes in the form of statutes and sometimes in the form of case law, that will say, 'But voluntary intoxication is no defense.' And the Supreme Court many years ago upheld those laws as not being a violation of due process."

As a twist of fate this might be ... Mr. Eid as it turns out is a Bush/Rove appointee from that attorney mess.....

(...for what that's worth...)
