Kott Got Fair Trial
DENIED.
Pete Kott, hoping for a repeat of the Senator Ted Stevens corruption trial, was flatly denied today by Judge John Sedwick.
Kott claimed that the prosecution in his corruption trial had withheld evidence that might have proved him innocent.
Bill Allen, former CEO of oil services company VECO, who liked to buy politicians for fun and profit was the main witness against Kott. He flew out of state Tuesday to start serving his 3-year sentence in a California federal prison. Allen’s testimony backed up the copious amount of audio and videotaped evidence obtained by the FBI and used against Kott during the trial. Bill Allen, former best buddy of Ted Stevens, in addition to subverting democracy, and roaming the desert southwest with a US senator drinking wine to lose weight, apparently has another hobby.
In his order, Sedwick wrote that Allen’s testimony played an important role in the prosecution. Many of the withheld materials related to an Anchorage police investigation into allegations that Allen was sexually exploiting minors, the judge wrote. Kott contends he should have had access to that information, which he could have used to discredit Allen’s testimony.
No, it wasn’t stamp collecting. Allen supposedly had a penchant for young teenage girls who would accept illegal drugs in exchange for sex wtih aged oil service company CEOs. Bleck.
But as abhorrent as this behavior is, it doesn’t change the fact that former House Speaker Pete Kott got ‘kott red handed’ by the FBI, tried, and convicted of conspiracy, extortion and bribery, and sent away to the grey bar hotel. And no amount of heinous lechery by an equally corrupt old man changes the facts.
Kott, still appalled that Judge Sedwick actually believed his lyin’ eyes, is appealing the decision to the Ninth Circuit Court. And he gets to stay a free man until they make their decision. Kott has been enjoying his little vacation from jail since June.
Lessee . . . the FBI has videotape of Kott asking for money from Bill Allen, and accepting money from Bill Allen. Good luck with that appeal, Pete.

Justice might (finally) prevail.
Thanks, Freakout (#2):
I noticed The Righteous Miss Palin is mad- according to The Inquirer, and they always know- Willow (and Bristol and Track) got caught and might embarrass her. Most parents would be furious their kids were involved in that behavior in the first place. Superficial, sanctimonious…
Just another jackass with an inflated sense-of-entitlement. Are these people for real? Even a hint of contrition might induce some sympathy.
Now, when oh when will we get to read that headline with Palins name in it? Dumb as she and her cronies are there has got to be some major tax evasion and/or tax “errors” going on in all her pacs, LLCs, give to mes and other phony fund drives.
Allen liked s’error palin, non? Was the first major contributor to her political aspirations, eh? How did he and the former boozing older daughter of palin get along? Spend much time together? Was Allen an alcohol source for her?
I love reading “Ruh-Roh” -it makes everything funner! (is that a word?)
sauerkraut- do you read your comments on your Litterbox site?
Sometimes… the problem there is the same as here with the forum: don’t always remember the pw. Thought we already did this, tho… I’m like… 3 hours from you.
As inexcusible as Bill Allen’s (alleged) sexual victimization of underage girls is, it’s kinda hard to blame that for Kott’s asking for and accepting bribes right there on camera. Sorry Pete!
To quote Nelson Muntz: Ha Ha!

Wasn’t Pete also filmed accepting Allen’s offer to help himself from “the Candy Jar”? We will all recall that this was the jar full of V [that E dysfunction drug, censor won't let me spell it out] sample packets.
Pete’s performance was also lame on another level – the ridiculously small amount of graft involved. Criminy, if you’re gonna risk getting taped by the feds snickering to themselves in the room next door, at least make if for 500 benjamins, not 500 georges.
I am number 116 (!!) on the local library’s reserve list for Game Change.
“When will it ever end”. Keep looking. Lots more corruption here in Alaska.
