I don’t understand this at all save for the possibility that the Obama Justice Department engaged in big-time overstretch with the charges, as happened in the Oregon standoff trial involving the Bundy family of Nevada. That is possible.

11-1 Not Guilty.

He can be re-tried, but it sounds difficult.

I think they are all out of jail right now awaiting the verdict on this one. If I understood they will use the excuse, he was our boss and got off, so we are not guilty.
