THE MUPPET SQUEEZE PLAY

US Attorney Jim Letten plays rough. Even I was gobsmacked that they went after Greg Meffert's wife, Linda. It was the shoe I expected to drop in the Dollar Bill case but it never happened. This is some ruthless but highly effective shit, folks. I suspect that Ms. Meffert would NOT have been charged if Muppet dropped the dime on C Ray. That deal *could* still be out there for Muppet if he has the sense to take it but his reputation for arrogance and cluelessness may preclude that.

This is a plot twist worthy of Scott Turow, y'all. I can't wait to see what the next move in this game of legal chess will be. Or is it legal twister? And I know what Letten's office is twisting: Muppet's tiny toadlike bollocks.

Now that I've planted that appalling image in your head, head over to to the Gambit blog for some typically sage punditry from Clancy DuBos.
