Justice Dept. May Have Tampered With New Hampshire Phone Case
NPR:
Questions about political pressure in the Justice Department are spilling over into the New Hampshire phone-jamming case.
Five years ago, New Hampshire Republicans jammed the phones of Democratic offices on Election Day, disrupting the Democrats' get-out-the-vote efforts and blocking phone calls from voters seeking rides to the polls. More than two years later, the New England coordinator for the Republican National Committee -- who green-lighted the scheme -- was charged with a felony and convicted.
But last week, a federal appeals court overturned the conviction.
