Why is Corrupticut Corrupticut

1) The Scumbag US Attorney O'Connor: "Connecticut's political world is tiny and given to ennui. Witness the fact that the U.S. Attorney, Kevin O'Connor, was barred from participating in the prosecution of the Rowland scandals because of his and his wife's close ties to the former governor. Kathleen O'Connor worked in the office of Rowland's legal counsel. In most places, that would raise an alarm. Connecticut only shrugs."

2) Moranogate Chief State's Attorney Christopher Morano does not criminally charge his criminal prosecutors for defrauding the courts, false arrests, hindering a prosecution, and obstruction of justice: The Saraceno Case.

3) Attorney General Richard Blumenthal's No-Bid Contract and Cronyism:

"...The grab for power also crosses ethical lines. Two of the law firms that Blumenthal contracted with to sue the tobacco companies were run separately by his former law partner and his partner’s wife. Blumenthal’s defenders claim that other law firms simply didn’t want the job. In a Connecticut Law Tribune article, however, a few lawyers disagreed, one complaining that “we didn’t ever get a meeting” with the attorney general’s office and another saying that his firm wasn’t included despite agreeing to the state’s contractual terms. Blumenthal’s former partner, David Golub, acknowledged, “I know how it ‘looks’ — he’s my former partner ...”

"Yet, whatever the concerns about Blumenthal giving a contract to a former partner, where did he get the authority at the time the contracts were negotiated to commit the state to pay private attorneys a sum then estimated to be more than $250 million?

During 12 years in office, Blumenthal has grown arrogant. People in and out of state government are afraid of him and are scared to publicly speak about their experiences. The state supreme court has better uses of its time than to monitor the behavior of an out-of-control attorney general." — John Lott is a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute.

4) Blumenthal protecting his criminally insane DCF prosecutors:

Oh Really? How about Mierzwa and the criminal DCF Assistant Attorney General? "The brave whistleblower is the one who got fired. And the lawyer who changed the court order still has a job with the attorney general." http://www.newhavenadvocate.com/gbase/News/content?oid=oid:94422 "Mary Ann Mierzwa: Fired but not silenced..." "...A third twist: the legally mandated secrecy that cloaks juvenile court proceedings...."

Blumenthal protects his psycho criminal assistant attorneys general rather than the people, "the public," he alleges is his job to protect as the reader will come to see here.
