January 18, 200719 yr QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Jan 18, 2007 -> 10:55 AM) In other news the Prosecutor in the Balco case has been asked to step down. It doesnt mean that it is over, but it does mean that the Prosecutor did something to tick some one really important off. For those who haven't been watching, this is actually not an isolated case. It seems that in the USA Patriot Act, power was given to the White House to appoint prosecutors to fill vacancies that appear without Senate approval, and within the last couple weeks, by some counts 7-10 different Prosecutors have resigned their posts or been casually pushed aside, including quite a few who had spent time prosecuting government corruption cases. So, it wasn't necessarily related to this case, and there appears to be some heavy backroom maneuvering going on involving this whole matter that we don't yet understand.
January 18, 200719 yr I can guess some theories, but from what Ive read the directions came from pretty high up. I also dont think it was because of Barry, but for other reasons, thats why I figure the Prosecutor pissed some one off.
