(I'll believe my own lying eyes thanks.) If this was part of a larger GOP-induced attorney general scandal, I say, "No harm, no foul."<BR/><BR/>Wilder needed to go and Kurita voted against him, Harold was a DLC'er out for himself and Tennessee voted against the Dem candidate and now, if this is part of the Gonzales thing, I don't weep for John Ford. Not one tear.Brassmaskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15489521741844542293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102867.post-13452607238256689162007-04-28T20:35:00.000-05:002007-04-28T20:35:00.000-05:00Dixon is serving a five-year sentence for the same...Dixon is serving a five-year sentence for the same offense.<BR/><BR/>Looking at the Guidelines, it appears that the offense level is a 24. (14 is the base level, +4 because he's an elected official, +6 because the amount involved is over $30K.)<BR/><BR/>The sentencing range for that level of offense, given no prior criminal history, is 51-63 months.Brockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02505762352028161171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102867.post-53559720998550090962007-04-28T20:09:00.000-05:002007-04-28T20:09:00.000-05:00It may surprise you, but I think you're "right" on...It may surprise you, but I think you're "right" on target. Jon of the Fords was no saint, far from it. But for his indictment to be handed down the day prior to Jr.'s Senate announcement, the trial to drago on through the election and now--in the middle of Gonzie-Gate--to bring closing arguments is remarkably convenient.
