Why isn't John McCain on the stand with Ted Stevens today?

It's interesting that Senator Ted Stevens is on the stand today, and possibly going to jail, for accepting gifts from corporations under his purview, but John McCain can get special bennies from Verizon and AT&T and he isn't being hauled into court.

You'll recall that Verizon started the process of installing special cell towers for McCain a good year ago because. After Verizon installed its tower, AT&T followed suit, noting that McCain was a "presidential candidate." Yeah, that was a big mistake. You see, corporations can't do free favors for the people up for election. It's a crime. And goes far beyond anything Ted Stevens may have done. Verizon and AT&T claim that the Secret Service asked them to provide the cell coverage. Not true. Verizon started the process to do the work for McCain the presidential candidate LONG before the Secret Service got involved. So the Secret Service argument is a red herring, and begs the question of what Verizon is trying to hide.

So McCain may have received not just an unethical corporate donation to his campaign, but an illegal one as well. Did McCain declare the free cell towers on his Senate ethics forms? Ted Stevens is about to go to jail for refusing to do so. But McCain isn't being hauled into to testify, while Stevens is. I just find that interesting.
