Looks like Laff's Tuesday may be coming soon. Or not.

Up to $5 million for his defense team thus far. I've seen other
estimates of $3 to $3.5 million. Regardless, that's a lot of money for a
guy who has nothing to hide.



What an idiot .....

You better than anyone should know that this is simply legalized
extortion.


No, BL has been consistent in saying that N-1 out of N of all people
investigated by grand juries are guilty. The fact that there is an
investigation proves guilt.

I have never said that. There was a prosecutor in New York state who
once told a jury during summation that the state does not indict
innocent people--but, that was reversed on appeal.

I can understand any target of a gj investigation lawyering up. But this
amount of lawyering up is extraordinary for a person who has done no wrong.

Remember, only guilty people hire good lawyers.
If you're innocent, you can get by with crappy
representation. Especially in capital cases in Texas,
of course.

The only nugget of information in this article was that
Hincapie has not testified before the grand jury, although
he has been questioned by investigators. A lot of the
speculation seemed to assume that he had testified.


Well done! You pulled the only nugget out of the steaming pile of
crap that was a tip o' the hat to that if-it's-a-slow-day-it-must-be-
Tuesday news story.

Now go wash your hands.

You guys are so bright. LOL!

The entire story is devoted to the fact that there is no news to report.
It's definitely Tuesday.

It was apparently begun by Fabiani. It's part of the pr offensive that
is about to take off with the indictments.

My favorite part --- Fabio complaining that "it's been really quiet"

“The only thing that’s happened over the summer is that Armstrong’s
lawyers filed a motion complaining about the leaks of information
about the case from the government,” Fabiani said.

isn't that what you wanted jack ass ?

Kekers and Peters - sounds like a 60's british duo or a new Disney
movie ?


IIRC, Kecker was the lead prosecutor in Iran-Contra. He is simply one of
the best criminal defense attorneys in the United States. IIRC, he gets
around $900 per hour.

Your second sentence is a strong endorsement. The first sentence, not so
much. If the prosecution finds a way to get Ollie North on the stand,
Armstrong's in BIG trouble.

The plot thickens. I suspect Ollie North bought dope from Gewiss to sell
to Iranian olympic cyclists in the late eighties in order to fund US
Postal's rise in the nineties. It can thus be proven that Armstrong was
also involved in The Iran-Contra affair in addition to the Kennedy
assassination and Whitewater.

Another possibility is that LA may believe that support for this case
by the FDA is poor, and that by publicizing that he's put together a
high-end legal team and will tooth-and-nail against the feds, he'll
get Novitzky's bosses to drop this case and head for greener pastures
- e.g. the dozens and dozens of food contamination cases out there for
the picking. Given that no knowledge of any "smoking gun" evidence in
this case has been revealed, perhaps this silence from the feds is an
indication they're letting it die.

BTW, again, I think LA doped, that Postal doped and used sponsorship
money for dope, just like all the other top GC riders and other teams
were/are doing. I just don't think that in the case of LA, anyone is
going to be able to prove it in court and get convictions. I'd rather
see Novitzky and the FDA working on cases that have more significance
to the majority of citizens.

These are all clearly valid statements and if I was a USAian I'd be ****ing
outraged at the money the Feds are spending trying to nail the Patron Saint of
Cancer. However relatively new as I am here I've already realised that there is
zero chance of BL ever grasping the sheer dopeyness of the Feds actions.
