Fieger's lawyers: Democrats are more corrupt than Republicans

Geoffrey Fieger's lawyers, attempting to defend him on the campaign finance violations for which he has been indicted, are still on the "it's all a conspiracy kick." They're apparently trumpeting the fact that the overwhelming majority of individuals charged with campaign finance law violations are Democrats. The idiocy of that strategy should stare them in the face. They're operating under the assumption that the Republicans are as corrupt as the Democrats but the numbers speak for themselves: the Democrats once again are making it clear that the rule of law and, more importantly, the rights of the common man to decide his or her own government are unimportant.

This shouldn't surprise anyone after the Democratic National Committee conspired to disenfranchise their primary voters in Michigan and Florida. It shouldn't surprise anyone after Barack Obama and John Edwards (among other, less relevant Democratic contenders for the nomination) went along with the disenfranchisement. Even if that wasn't enough, look at how they use the judicial system to enforce their own view of the world upon us by using extra-democratic methods or Al Gore's attempt to steal the 2000 election by violating the due-process rights of Floridians. Still further, look at the new loony-left desire to instill military dictatorship on the U.S. and prop up dictators around the world.

Back on topic, Geoffrey Fieger's lawyers need to shut up. The problem with campaign finance violations is not that he might be punished to harshly; it's that the others in the self-created, modern day aristocracy who violate the law need to be punished much more severely.

A federal judge in Detroit peppered a prosecutor with questions Tuesday to find out whether the investigation that resulted in the August indictment of Southfield lawyer Geoffrey Fieger on campaign finance charges were politically motivated.

U.S. District Judge Paul Borman also wanted to know why it took 75 to 80 Federal agents to raid Fieger's law office and confront 32 employees on the doorsteps after dark in November 2005.

"I'm just trying to figure out who it went down," Borman told Assistant U.S. Attorney Lynn Helland. He said he couldn't recall that many agents involved in any other raid during his 13 years on the federal bench.

"It just wasn't the big deal" that Fieger is making it out to be, Helland told Borman. He said the agents needed to simultaneously interview Fieger's staff members to prevent them from coordinating their stories as other agents seized records from Fieger's firm.
