Politically Motivated Prosecutors?

Karl Rove has finally been cleared and told he will not be indicted, after months left twisting in the wind. John Podhoretz, at the Corner, criticizes Patrick Fitzgerald for his handling of the matter.

Senator Charles Schumer has demanded that Fitzgerald release a report of his findings. Attorney Victoria Toensing, an expert in this area of law, phoned Rush Limbaugh to say that it would be illegal for Fitzgerald to produce what Schumer is demanding.

Meanwhile John Kerry's spokesman, David Wade expresses his disappointment by referring to Rove as "porcine." (Hat tip: Michelle Malkin.)

The New York Times has published an article today questioning the conduct of the D.A. in the Duke lacrosse team case. And a Duke law professor also questions the D.A.'s impartiality.

At this point, from all that is known, it seems that not only should the charges in the Duke matter be dismissed, but the prosecutor should be under investigation himself for conduct unbecoming an officer of the court.
