AP forgets poll numbers to claim Rahall in trouble

Carnacki: Is the broken AP link on purpose (0.00 / 0)

I did find this at hte Gazette about Maynard's friend Blankenship and the disaster investigation into he events at Upper Big Branch.

Massey officers invoke the Fifth in UBB mine disaster inquiry

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Massey Energy's top safety officer and at least five other company officials have refused to answer questions from government investigators who are trying to determine the cause of the worst U.S. coal-mining disaster in 40 years.

Elizabeth Chamberlin, Massey's vice president for safety, and the other five officials invoked their Fifth Amendment rights and will not appear for interviews with state and federal investigators, according to documents obtained under the West Virginia Freedom of Information Act.
::::::
The other officials who have declined to testify were Jamie Ferguson, vice president of Massey subsidiary Performance Coal; Wayne Persinger, a general manager at Upper Big Branch; Rick Nicolau, a maintenance chief at the mine; and mine foremen Rick Foster and Gary May.

Lawyers for all six officials said in letters to the state that their clients have done nothing wrong, but do not believe the investigation interviews are being conducted properly.

The lawyer's tactic is obviously "blame the regulators", federal and state. Do murdering thugs get away with the "blame the police for not stopping me" defense?

If this works, that is what I would call a "judicial hellhole".

poll shows lead over Maynard?

Or GOP's Maynard reaps Massey cash for House bid against Rahall?
