Not sure I agree, the Feds are vindictive $#!@!, especially now that they gets a free pass for all their misgivings. If nothing else their mindset is to make GZ life miserable and drain him of as much cash as possible.
This trial took the scrutiny off of "IRS" and other executive scandals.
If they can, the feds and the czars will milk this cow for all its worth - no wonder civil suits are in the hopper.
Anything they (feds/czars) do and say will be to take press off of executive misdeeds and hammer GZ down.
And, don't even mention Jackson/Sharpton and they're ilk. ($$$$/"front page" visibility).
