What if he's on the loose living his life, and they're just telling us he's in prison?

1. Wikipedia says 3/3/06
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_%22Duke%22_Cunningham

On March 3, 2006, U.S. District Judge Larry A. Burns sentenced Cunningham to 100 months (eight years and four months) in prison.<49> Federal prosecutors had pushed for the maximum sentence of ten years, but Cunningham's defense lawyers said that at 64 years old and with prostate cancer, Cunningham would likely die in prison if he received the full sentence.<50><51> Judge Burns cited his military service in Vietnam as the reason the full ten years was not imposed. Prosecutors announced that they were satisfied with the sentence, which is the longest jail term ever given to a former Congressman.<52>

On the day of sentencing, Cunningham was 90 pounds (41 kg) lighter than when allegations first surfaced 9 months earlier. After receiving his sentence, Cunningham made a request to see his 91-year-old mother one last time before going to prison. "I made a very wrong turn. I rationalized decisions I knew were wrong. I did that, sir," Cunningham said. The request was denied, and Burns remanded him immediately upon rendering the sentence.<53>

4. I think I've found some weird numbers on the phone records of the DC Madam...

that match up to the locations Duke was known to frequent, just one problem, they're from July and August 2006, when Duke was supposed to be in prison.

7. It's probably just a coincidence.
But you have to ask why in the world Duke would go to prison and not squeal on the others involved in his scandal.

13. I'm looking at her records directly.
But if you think about it, why send him to prison if he's got the goods on you?

Why not let it look like he went to prison, then stick him in the middle of nowhere and replace him with someone else?

Duke was transfered to this work camp in the middle of fucking nowhere in Arizona, a place with only 100 odd inmates.

16. I have a question. Is this the whole 26 pounds?
Or is she releasing them in pieces.

19. I'm reading this from an archive I got from her website...
it's all the phone records from '95 to 2006 when she quit.

And it wasn't the Dukester, I just checked. It was a realtor.

They all seemed to like to party...

Sentencing

Burns sentenced Cunningham to 100 months (eight years and four months) in prison.<49> Federal prosecutors had pushed for the maximum sentence of ten years, but Cunningham's defense lawyers said that at 64 years old and with prostate cancer, Cunningham would likely die in prison if he received the full sentence.<50><51> Judge Burns cited his military service in Vietnam as the reason the full ten years was not imposed.

After receiving his sentence, Cunningham made a request to see his 91-year-old mother one last time before going to prison. "I made a very wrong turn. I rationalized decisions I knew were wrong. I did that, sir," Cunningham said. The request was denied, and Burns remanded him immediately upon rendering the sentence.<53>

Cunningham is currently incarcerated at the United States Penitentiary at Tucson, presumably in the minimum security satellite camp, with inmate register number 94405-198. He previously served time on his sentence at the Butner Federal Correctional Complex in Butner, North Carolina.<54> His projected release date is June 4, 2013.

10. No, I know that. The reason I asked is that I found some weird numbers...
that look like they're from locations Mr. Cunningham would frequent. I'm going to call the number right now.

20. Just because they tell us he's there, doesn't mean he IS there.
Any more than it means that certain Enron executives are not in Paraguay rather than under the ground.
