Better to lose your job, lose your benefits, and lose your general way of life in order to stake out an aggressive defensive posture using the 5th.
The alternative is exposure, conviction and punishment. But, like an ship throwing out all ballast in a last ditch effort to stay afloat, in the end, they still lose everything anyway.
But at least their resignations put up a fighting effort. Still, who's to say the gun sitting in the bedside table is calling to them to take the easy way out?
I understand what you are saying. What do you do when your nuts are in a vice ?
Kortan announced his retirement, so I’m guessing he has a pension and benefits.
Laufman has been around since the 80’s and has been with DOJ since 2000, so I’m guessing he also has some kind of fed pensions & benefits.
It’s not a REAL scandal until 2 or 3 people blow their brains out... on a country road.
So you think they’ll be arkancided?
