I thought it had to be in the furtherance of another crime to be a felony.

It's a bullshit process crime.

Remember Martha Stewart? Did time for insider trading? Right?

WRONG!!!

The feds ended up with no evidence that she had committed insider trading.

They got a conviction for lying to Federal Investigators.

What was the "lie"?

Denying that she had committed insider trading.

Ain't that a crock ...

But it gives her some street cred with Snoop ... so there's that. ;'}

Stewart and Flynn are great examples of why you never talk to the police. You cannot do anything but get yourself in trouble.

Call your lawyer, accept the cop’s offer for a Coke, and sit there until the lawyer comes.
