Verilli Not Administration's Worst Lawyer After All

I doubt it. Senator Ted Stevens and Representative Duke Cunningham were indicted, tried, and convicted for virtually the same offense that (then) Senator Obama committed, voluntarily admitted to, and subsequently apologized, self-describing the actions as "bone headed". Twice before, accepting bribes in the form of home sale or home improvement had been considered criminal in the eyes of the justice department. Ted Stevens conviction was since set aside, labeling the entire prosecution as theater conducted for political purposes (it worked, it achieved getting him our of office which was its true motive, not putting him in prison). Recall that the partner in Obama's purchase scandal was later indicted, convicted, and sentenced to jail.
