Trepp's "Armed Enforcers"

Gibbonsfrogwalk003sm_1

That was what the judge in the Montgomery case called the F.B.I. and the "local" U.S. Attorney, according to todays WSJ article about Governor Jim Gibbons:

"Mr. Montgomery has accused Messrs. Trepp and Gibbons of using their political clout to get local FBI agents to raid his home and investigate him. In December, a federal magistrate found flagrant constitutional violations in the FBI raid, according to people briefed on her ruling, which remains under seal. The court found that the local FBI and U.S. attorney's office had effectively acted as armed enforcers for eTreppid's wealthy owner in a private business dispute with a former partner."

Lessee. That U.S. Attorney would be...Daniel Bogden, who got the boot during the recent purge of federal prosecutors. Kinda looks like the Attorney General has some cause for firing this one, don't it?

Gleaner's got the whole article.

[UPDATE: Was it Beth Chapman who said "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"?]
