In mid-August of 2007, the Detroit Free Press printed a huge headline, FIEGER VS. U.S. At the time, they got it wrong; the US Government had actually indicted Geoffrey Fieger, one of the nation?s most successful trial lawyers, and his partner, Ven Johnson, for violating campaign finance laws.

But on June 2, 2008, after a 20-day trial, with Fieger represented by famed defense attorney Gerry Spence, jurors unanimously rejected the government?s felony charges ? and acquitted and vindicated Geoff Fieger and Ven Johnson, because prosecutors failed to prove that they illegally channeled money to the failed 2004 presidential campaign of Democrat John Edwards.

And, on that same day, the Detroit Free Press finally got it right and printed another huge headline, FIEGER IS CLEARED IN CAMPAIGN FUND CASE.

Today, The Insider Exclusive takes you behind the scenes of the indictment, the Bush Administration?s selective political prosecution of Geoffrey Fieger, the winning legal strategies employed by Gerry Spence and Steve Fishman to decisively defeat and crush the government at a Waterloo of their own making.

Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.That fact is as valid oday, as it was when it was written in 1870 by Sir John Acton, who reminded Pope Pius IX that he was a mere mortal man! Today, Geoff Fieger walks taller and more resolute than ever before, for having taken on ?Absolute Power? and won ? a victory of the power of truth and justice. Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, ?We acquire the strength we have overcome.? Geoff has overcome that strength, and today, he uses it for all those in need of justice.
