    A lawyer telling a client to commit perjury in a federal case surrounding a former head of state is absolutely worth prosecuting.

    This isn’t Keny Lay pretending he didn’t know what was for me on at Enron. This is a lawyer hired specifically to defend someone other than his client and intentionally telling his client to lie - which is knowingly and intentionally bad legal advice.

    A lawyer really can’t do anything worse from a professional or legal standpoint.

      I realized I was talking from a more general perspective — you’ll get no arguments from me against prosecuting the fuck out of these folks. You’re totally right.
