If one wonders how Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation employees like Bruce Ohr and Peter Strzok felt such impunity while actively meddling with the 2016 presidential election, one need look no further than the legacy of DoJ's meddling in the Alaska Senate election of 2008.
Stevens lost the trial in what some might consider the Deep State's trial run for 2016.
Irrefutable evidence of prosecutorial misconduct prompted the DoJ to assign Terrence Berg, an attorney in the DoJ's Professional Misconduct Review Unit, to recommend a penalty for two trial attorneys.
If you were a partisan DoJ attorney bent on meddling in future elections, would the risk of a 45-day suspension be enough to deter you? The attorneys appealed the 45-day suspensions, arguing they should be entitled to the benefit of Berg's early assessment that they did nothing wrong.
That's how two DoJ prosecutors got away with railroading Stevens and swinging an election for the U.S. Senate.
Not only did Stevens lose the election in 2008, his loss paved the way for a filibuster-proof majority for the Democrats in April of 2009.
We would all have more confidence in future elections if the acting attorney general, Rod Rosenstein, would refrain from laughing at and mocking congressional oversight into DoJ's interference in the 2016 election.
