Support Group for ICE Agent wants Grand Jury Probe of Ritter   
 

Say’s double standard exists for “political elites”   
 

November 7, 2007 (Denver, CO)---A group formed to help the ICE agent charged with abusing his authority by unlawfully accessing a national crime data base is calling for a federal grand jury investigation of Gov. Ritter and unnamed others.   
 

Mike McGarry, a spokesman for Cory Legal Defense, an “ad hoc committee formed to raise funds to help pay the legal costs” of ICE agent, Cory Voorhis, said the revelations  that governor Bill Ritter and some of his key associates in the Denver DA’s office themselves may have violated the same laws Voorhis is charged violating is evidence of a double standard.  “We seem to have a double standard here. One for the political elites and another for the average Joe,” McGarry said. 
The group is calling for a federal grand jury to investigate the allegations, which were cited in documents filed in U.S. District Court in Denver by Voorhis’ attorneys. "For governor Ritter the former chief law enforcement officer of Denver, to be involved in this duplicity and skullduggery is something all Coloradans should be disgusted by," McGarry said.  “We should never get to a place in this country where the political elites act on the idea that the ends justify unlawful means."
