And that's the part where the appeals court said there was no evidence.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a federal appeals court to reverse a criminal conviction for lack of evidence?

You keep thinking I bitch about this Halliburton stuff, and every time you say it you are still wrong.

eta: If there were any evidence that the defendant in question did something wrong, then she should go away for a long time. But the fact that a donor gets a contract does not show corruption. Government contractors have First Amendment rights too.
