Kerry doesn't get in until Jan even if he does win and transition would probably put his influence on the Justice Dept into March. Speedy trial usually means they've seen the prosecution's case and they want in before it gets better. 74826@blogcritics.org Mon, 19 Jul 2004 12:32:57 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/07/19/104116.php#comment-74823 I'm inclined to agree; he wants to get into court before the government digs up anything solid against him. Of course, it could also be taken to mean that Lay thinks he'll get off lighter under a Bush justice department than a Kerry justice department... 74823@blogcritics.org Mon, 19 Jul 2004 12:29:32 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/07/19/104116.php#comment-74821 That means that the prosecution is not ready and Lay's lawyers know it. 74821@blogcritics.org Mon, 19 Jul 2004 12:22:09 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/07/19/104116.php#comment-74805 Interesting that Ken Lay wants a speedy trial - he says he's ready to go to court by September. I wonder what that means. 74805@blogcritics.org Mon, 19 Jul 2004 11:12:42 EDT
