Benotti69 said:Immunity is for far serious charges, intimidating Fed witnesses, transporting drugs across borders illegally, supply of drugs illegally, will he be done for non delcared earnings, ooh this is one big can of worms under wonderboys ****.
Ferminal said:Trying to buy immunity from any criminal proceedings by playing nice in the civil case?
Is he actually worried or is that what they suggested?
DirtyWorks said:They'll run USAC from prison. The members won't care. In fact, they can't vote, so even if they cared, Wiesel's still in charge even from the cell block.
WADA lifetime ban for Wiesel is the bare minimum here, but that's not going to fly at the IOC.

BroDeal said:A news article, which I think was on ESPN's site, said the reason Armstrong was unable to reach a settlement is that he required broad immunity but the DOJ was only willing to offer immunity for the USPS fraud. It does not appear the sticking point was money.
Munson also questions whether the DOJ would even consider dropping criminal charges against a guy who has now admitted his crimes, especially considering any leverage Lance may have had with his reputation as a do-gooder long gone and no more looming elections for Obama.

yeah, but Buscemi with the Mickey Rourke turn in The Wrestler with all the hgh and roids.Oldman said:I can also picture the next dramatic headline: "Tour de Felony". By the time their done with Lance the actor that could play his current years will be Steve Buscemi instead of Bradley Cooper.
reginagold said:Perhaps Lance isn't the full employment for lawyers program after all.
Luskin's firm to discuss the layoffs of some partners and small folk tomorrow.
