Indicted AK State Sen. Cowdery Proclaims His Innocence
Alaska State Sen. John Cowdery (R) was "holed-up" in the Prospector Hotel in Juneau yesterday, when he was indicted on two charges of bribery and corruption. He flew to Anchorage, where the Federal Court is located, arriving on Thursday night.
From KTUU in Anchorage:
He was asked at the ariport [sic] if he plans to fight the charges."I'm going to win it," Cowdery said. "I'm not guilty."
Cowdery said he had nothing more to say and that his attorney has already said it.
Cowdery's attorney released this statement:
"We believe, along with many others who are familiar with Sen. Cowdery's long and exemplary service to the people of this state, that the government has done a substantial disservice to Sen. Cowdery in charging him. This will be exposed for the mistake it is."
Cowdery is expected to be arraigned today at 5:30 ET.

These clowns all believe they have the same privileges as Bush and can get away with anything... I guess that quality just didn't trickle down far enough...

The deal is that folks like Chowdery believe that the way things have been done in Alaska under republican rule is ethical.
These folks forgot that even in an era when the independence of the Justice Department is being questioned the powers that be in Washington needed to find some schleps to toss under the bus.
Congratulations Alaska state republican party, you are the lucky winners!
