In South Carolina last fiscal year, 97 percent of all federally indicted cases ended in guilty pleas, records show.

“We consider the investigation ongoing,” McDonald said. “If it’s appropriate to add charges, that is something that will be done.”

The way you can get your sentence reduced in the federal system is to plead guilty and to give substantial assistance (to authorities),” said longtime Columbia criminal defense lawyer Jack Swerling.

In South Carolina last fiscal year, the average drug trafficking sentence was about 11 years, compared to seven years nationwide.

Chief U.S. District Judge Joe Anderson, who is presiding over Ravenel’s and Miller’s cases, has a reputation for fairness and staying within the guidelines, Strom said.

“Our judges stick to the guidelines,” he said.

If this were happening to [a] Democrat, the usual suspects, named above would be yucking it up.
Capisc’?

No, they’d probably be inviting him to their parties.

Your grammar has me confused, Scotty.
But I’ll give it a go:
Oliver is viewing these activities and this relationship with disfavor.
I feel it is because Giuliani is a Republican.
If this were happening to Democrat, the usual suspects, named above would be yucking it up.
Capisc’?

And the fact that he isn’t excludes him from that how, exactly?

The funny part is that if he were a Democrat, he’d make a great punch line for Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, Lewis Black, George Carlin, Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, etc., etc.

“Actually OW extrapolated Ravenels problem to the GOP. Isn’t it then fair to extrapolate Jefferson to the Dems?”

Is Jefferson the campaign chair of one of the Democratic Party’s leading contender for president?

Nope. Didn’t think so.

(In fact, Jefferson got most of his support from Republicans, just like Lieberman.)

This is just another case of, But, but, Clinton and is the sign of a truly desparate person.

And besides, Clinton got a blowjob once from someone other than Hillary.

You make it sound as though the ‘Pubs wouldn’t have made a big deal about that either.

Yeah, Dugger, Rudy just can’t be bothered to, you know, do things that are good for the country, like fulfill his commitment to the Iraq Survey Group. The fact he has a habit of hiring criminals just cements his credibility with the Bush republicans.
