Lover gets deal in FBI spy case - Lover was a Republican fundraiser too

http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-fbi17.html

LOS ANGELES -- A former FBI informant once suspected of being a Chinese double agent has agreed to plead guilty to lying to federal agents and to a tax charge, U.S. law enforcement officials said Friday.

Katrina Leung, a wealthy socialite from San Marino, Calif., was expected to enter a plea Friday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles. She would serve no jail time under an agreement reached with federal prosecutors, one official said.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity.

Leung's lawyers, Janet Levine and John Vandevelde, confirmed there was an agreement but declined to specify the terms.

1. Don't prosecutors check with the victims before handing out a deal?

It IS the US vs Leung? I do not recall being asked if it was okay to plea bargain? Am I (and you) not the US?
