Today the judge presiding over felonious defense contractor Mitchell Wade‘s case set a March 12th, 2007 date for their next status conference. That means the leaves will have turned, snow fallen, and the first buds of spring sprung before Mitchell Wade will know his sentencing date. It could be as late as next summer.
Why the delay? It gives him plenty of time to earn his stripes as a cooperator.
Wade’s known to have told prosecutors plenty about his alleged fellow briber, Brent Wilkes. He’s thought to possibly have dirt on Pentagon officials, also. But remember, Wade oversaw over $150 million in contracts throughout the defense-intelligence world. Who knows what he’s giving up?
