Stay tuned, I highly doubt you've heard the end of this one, because getting your boyfriend in the FBI to pressure local cops to drop charges against you? Not exactly the American way of Justice, there...

But most certainly it is, and epitomizes a thinking that refracts the idea of equality under the law to madness and spawned an America where being as illegal for a rich man to sleep under a bridge as a poor man proclaimed as "justice."
Ms Coulter used "stalker" prevention as an excuse for voting in the wrong place, regardless that the fbi had investigated the alledged stalker,
eight years earlier and found nothing to charge the guy with. The incredible stretch is having an FBI agent call into an investigative unit without the local law enforcement asking for the help. Someone asked the FBI to call and likely it was a political decision, not a legal one. Ms Coulter refused to ever meet with the investigating officer, clearly any questions she might have offered untruthfully or truthfully one finally would hope, could have been used against her if contradictory to past statements. So at least her lawyer was competent to have her avoid contact with any law inforcement or justice officials.
So likely this was the deal, Ms Coulter signed government documents (voting records), and lied doing so, knowingly. She got caught and when it appears likely that whatever she said today could lay groundworks for perjury, she went around the artificies of the justice system and sought and got political favors.
as Sinatra sang....." Thats America to me!"
Either the women was too lazy to do the right thing by straightening out her own personal voting situation, or she was too stupid to remember it or figured with typical disdain conservatives usually have for the efficiency of democratically run government bureaucrats, the government official would likely be some dumb black or lower middle class white she could bamboozle with bull$hit if she was caught.
She ran into bad luck, the government bureaucrats weren't dumb, she got caught, the system worked, it prevented a person voting at a polling station who held credentials that would have determined and prevented her from voting at that place. It goes to the heart of how "voter fraud" operates.
What Ms Coulter did was flail around mucking it up so bad that she had to call in political favors to impact the judicial process; that's generally forbidden to do as it begens to appear to the average citizen like the game is rigged towards those with political power. What's worst for this problem then is that it strikes to the heart of conservative judicial philosophy, viz., that laws are immutable and only a nation of laws can function, because nations of men do not, except I guess when it is conservatives breaking "the Law," then no harm no foul.
Its just a bit fascinating to see the curtained ripped away to reveal Oz working behind the scenery so clearly.
After all what do Ann Coulter and OJ Simpson have in common..........
Each is not a pencil thin blond female neurotic with advanced signs of syphilitic dementia or an old black man with a tad of a temper and swollen hands.....
Nope, each is wealthy enough to buy "justice."
"Thats America to me!"
