IMNHO, Gibbs was not interested in winning this case. It didn't serve the agenda of the folks fronting his money.
I wish I could understand why Gibbs didn't throw himself on the de novo right handed to him by Congress and the President.
Because the goal was to lose.
I'll just never understand it.
Here's a thought: it's because Randall Terry wants to play the role of Gerry Adams.
Who was fronting his money and what was their objective?
