We’re going to be covering this in more depth today at TPMmuckraker. But let me say a few more things about the the North County Times article mentioned below.
Do you know what the threshold is for a government criminal investigator, the regional head of DOD’s in-house investigative service, to go public and say on the record that someone isn’t cooperating and that the scandal is much bigger than anyone thinks?
Also, consider Duke Cunningham. What would it take to get him to clam up? Duke is 64 years old. He’s had cancer. He was just sentenced to 8+ years in prison. That might well be a death sentence. Who’s he protecting? And what would make him think he’s better off keeping quiet than telling investigators what they want to know?
