Sick and Tired of Half-Truths

Sick and tired of getting half-truths

Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Patrick Leahy is "sick and tired of getting half-truths" about the fired U.S. Attorneys. Tell me about it.

Meanwhile, I'm told (fired AUSA - Gonz ed.) John McKay said this on the Mike Siegel Show, May 26, 2005:

The Federal Government has an important historic role in elections ... if there's a Federal crime in the election - if there's bribery, if there's extortion, if there is ballot stuffing - then, if it involves a Federal election, the Federal Government's involved. So that's the basic outline of where we are. But the bottom line is if there is a crime, somebody goes to jail.

That's certainly the right sentiment.

Is it "ballot stuffing" when election officials toss hundreds of ineligible votes into the do-count pile, and then cover it up and prevent that information from being presented in court during a trial about the election? I'm just asking.
