Hmm... I originally wondered why he was pleading for a public defender, and then wound up with Geragos, AFTER Geragos earlier complained about getting a security clearance. Interesting. Now it sounds like this is the trial where there perhaps is "interesting" stuff that reflects badly on the "State Secrets" gang in Washington! The other was more of the "public show" to take the visibility away from this coming case I think.

As noted in another thread I started yesterday, John Michael, Thomas Kontogiannis's nephew who was also charged along with Wilkes and Dusty Foggo when Carol Lam left office plead guilty to money laundering yesterday. There still is a mound of excrement that still needs to be cleared away here I think!

these guys always seem to be first at the public trough when it suits their needs. I wish I knew where I could get the figures for Conservatives who pig out at the publics' expense, and who are the first to file "frivolous" lawsuits when it's they who are wronged. :eyes:

The hypocrisy of these turds is astounding. :grr:

Inconceivable!
