Thank you. <BR/> Methinks that besides having no brains, they have nothing to lose by carrying on the fight. Even a rat will fight when backed into a corner. These are in the corner. With Bobrick, Allen and Smith having assets to be seized, the best thing they could do is roll over in hopes of walking off with parts of their respective asses(ts) still intact. <BR/> With the elected scum, I think the Feds are not interested in a deal when they have them by the short and curlies. Taking the long view; there is too much at stake in future parlays with the oil companies. The best way is to make public example of these species and hope the following groups take heed. I think that the big busts on the “slope” in the early 80s were forgotten and it was time to take the thieves back to church. Regretfully, I point out the crooks in the 80s cost a lot more then the ones we have in office now. It just seems wrong that inflation doesn’t apply to our elected oral representatives. <BR/> Looking at the Ben Stevens one: this is gonna be hard one to prove in court as he listed what he was getting for being a consultant. Kind of like a hooker being a masseuse and everyone sticking to the same story. It was hearting to hear the BS lawyers’ first words were that he was hoping Allen and Smith didn’t start lying about legislators. Oh well, we’ll save it for another day because we know that day is coming…Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5475948014630133294.post-26198575059269391022007-05-16T18:18:00.000-08:002007-05-16T18:18:00.000-08:00My guess is that Bobrick is the least scumbagish o...My guess is that Bobrick is the least scumbagish of all, so far. First, he had the brains to plead guilty (as did Allen and Smith). And second, he did express remorse. Obviously, he's cooperating with the investigation, and that could be seen as making some kind of amends. Of course it lightens his punishment, but he knows that by making this guilty plea, he has ended his career forever and will likely spend some time in jail, and he has apparently made some peace with that.<BR/>Why are Anderson, Kohring, Kott and Weyhrauch not pleading guilty? Don't know, but the first three, at least, are pretty dumb, in my view.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
