Politically Connected Prosecutor Delays Cynthia McKinney Grand Jury

For those of you who thought that members of Congress were treated just like the rest of us common folk. Ah, who am I kidding? If you think that members of Congress are treated just like the rest of us common folk I order you to remove your lips from their butts and walk away from the computer.
The Atlanta-Journal Constitution is reporting that there has been no progress in the Cynthia McKinney Grand Jury investigation on the assault case against a Capital Hill police officer.
The grand jury investigation of 4th District Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney enters its third month today with no hint from the federal prosecutor about how much longer it will take to settle a case that legal experts said should have been wrapped up in a matter of days.
McKinney was accused of striking a Capitol Hill police officer March 29, and the case was referred to the grand jury April 5. The drawn-out process of deciding whether she should be charged with assault has police fuming that the DeKalb County Democrat is getting preferential treatment from a politically motivated prosecutor.
“Right from the start this U.S. attorney has handled this case differently from every other case,” said Chuck Canterbury, national president of the Fraternal Order of Police. “And it’s because she is a sitting congresswoman.”
McKinney’s office and the office of U.S. Attorney Ken Wainstein declined to comment.
We shouldn’t be surprised with this Congress. Both sides have been happy to stay on their Taxpayer funded payrolls while living the life of Kings and Queens.
To date we have had 3 Democrats blatantly flout and obstruct the legal system in the past year. Patrick Kennedy (ride home, rehab), William Jefferson (Cash in freezer, 8 month stall on subpoena courtesy of House Counsel) and cop bashing McKinney.
To top it off, House Speaker Hastert and Representative Sensenbrenner displayed outrage, threw a hissy fit and held hearings in response to the FBI effort to gather evidence that the House Counsel refused to cooperate on for 8 months.
The election is in November.
