(Successive
secret-police chiefs were themselves executed by Stalin, or, in the
case of the infamous Beria, by Stalin’s successors, in the only step
they could agree upon before a rending struggle for power between
themselves.) The United States certainly has not plumbed these depths,
but the allocutions are just as nauseatingly excessive and obviously
extorted by terror in sentencing — psychological, as opposed to
physical, torture.
I was one of those who warned of the
criminalization of policy
differences in the Watergate affair, but unfortunately the inexplicable
and uncharacteristic mismanagement of the whole tawdry sequence of
events by President Nixon made it relatively easy for his enemies to
drive him from office. It was bound to be an intoxicating experience,
and beneath the confected sanctimony of many of the Watergate
principals in the media and law enforcement, the joys of the assassin
were evident. Ben Bradlee, editor of the Washington Post, whose notes
reveal that he distrusted Woodward and Bernstein’s Watergate reporting,
was audibly rubbing his hands with glee at the prospect of going over
the same ground again in the piffling Iran-Contra affair of 1986.
- The
infamous Ted Stevens affair has already been exposed as fraudulent
withholding of evidence by the prosecutors, but only after the
seven-term senator narrowly lost his bid for reelection and one of the
prosecutors committed suicide. The protracted persecution of
long-serving New York Senate leader Joseph Bruno has been another
glaring example of the political corruption of the bench and the
prosecutors. Most recently, the harassment of Republican governor Scott
Walker of Wisconsin by the Democratic district attorney of Milwaukee,
the pursuit of conservativecommentator Dinesh D’Souza, the partisan
indictment of Governor Perry of Texas for exercising his veto right,
and the antics of the IRS
- In
the assault on Governor Scott Walker, Democratic district attorney John
Chisholm’s long-running criminal investigation of the governor and his
entourage ended in 2013, and has been followed by a criminal
investigation into the most prominent individuals and organizations
that support the governor, expressing concern about improper collusion
in support of the governor’s political, if not statutory, offense,
which was to curb rapacious and irresponsible public-sector unions.
This is a John Doe investigation (so called because it is a blind
search into whether a crime was committed at all, and if so by whom — a
procedure certain to lead to abuse).
- The
pursuit of Governor Don Siegelman of Alabama was always dubious, and
the long persecution of the former House majority leader, Tom DeLay of
Texas, has finally collapsed as the scandalous abuse of a partisan
prosecution service that it always was.]
