If you take the time to look a little further into Johnny Sutton's history, you would find that that is not an undeserved label. What makes this trial so frustrating to those of us familiar with Johnny Sutton is that his office is condemning the very same type of cover up and violation of Constitutional rights that Sutton employed in an earlier case of his that went awry.

The big guys like Sutton and Berger get to cover their tracks; the little guys get 10+ years for trying to cover theirs. How many years did Sandy Berger get for intentionally stealing and destroying highly classified secrets? Had that been me, I would be in jail for years.

I don't care to discuss the Federal Minimum Sentencing Guidelines with you, nor am I convinced that every Federal prosecution from now to eternity must be seen in light of the Sandy Berger case. If you (and others) wish to compare this case with Berger's, let's take a look at the charges, the potential sentences for them, and compare. "But Berger got off with a slap on the wrist" is an argument that needs more time in the oven.
