Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Raymond F. Morrogh (D) was accused by defense attorneys of having entanglements and friendships that could affect his judgement as he pursues murder-for-hire charges against Justin M. Defense attorneys had argued that Morrogh’s friendship with Prince William County Commonwealth’s Attorney Paul B. But those convictions were vacated by a federal court recently after a judge found that Ebert’s office didn’t turn over key evidence that could have been used in Wolfe’s defense. Ebert then stepped aside in the case and asked that Morrogh be appointed special prosecutor. “There’s no evidence that [Morrogh’s] relationships will cause him to abandon his duties,” O’Brien said.

US Congress Embraces Both NSA Spying and Endless Wars In two separate votes in the House of Representatives on Wednesday, lawmakers from both parties affirmed their ongoing acceptance of the ever-growing national security state and support for the military authorization that has kept the nation in constant war since 2001. Though neither was expected to pass, the failure of the two separate amendments introduced as part of the 2013 Defense Authorization Bill offers a window into the bipartisan consensus that permeates Washington when it comes to appeasing the dominant influence of the military-intelligence-industrial complex that has gained unprecedented authority and profited so magnificently in the post-9/11 era.
