There are potential ineffective assistance of counsel issues that the judge is going to have to look at. If they didn't do all that because they thought the case was so bogus that they didn't need to prepare, that's an issue of competency. Because even if you think it's bogus, you need to prepare.

As long as the argument that they make to the judge comports with the minimum and the maximum allowed by the statute and the aggravating factors they bring forward are allowed by the sentencing statute ... that's their discretion and their job, ... And if they didn't do it, then we'd probably live in a less safe community.

The Office of Independent Counsel cannot and will not discuss any aspect of sealed court proceedings including potential mischaracterizations of these proceedings.

Being labled, judged, or hated for being different is the most childish thing ever. Listen people, isn't it about time to grow up?

We're probably not as offensive on the back end right now. But we have potential. We'll concentrate on having six solid D on the ice and be as mistake free as possible.

That's a common practice for an independent counsel. Judge Walsh was talking to reporters all the time over a seven-year period. And I think it's entirely appropriate so long as he abides by the general guidelines of the Department of Justice, which it appears he has.
