Do the Feds ever admit they are wrong?
Posted by richrobinson 10 years, 7 months ago to The Gulch: General
I was getting my hair cut the other night and the woman I go to told me an incredible story. A friend of hers and her husband moved into a new house. The husband tried selling his house but wasn't having any luck. An employee at his restaurant asked if her boyfriend could rent the house for a while. He agreed and things went well initially. It turns out the tenant was running a drug ring. The husband had asked for the rent one month and the tenant said he would pay it in cash and drop it off later. When he didn't show the husband called and left a voice mail message asking where the money was? He thought maybe he left it somewhere before he got home. Turns out the Feds had the phones tapped and concluded that he must be part of the drug ring. One day they showed up with SWAT teams and raided their house. She was handcuffed and her husband was taken into custody. They tore the house apart and found nothing. Their car was impounded and torn apart. Again, they found nothing but the last 5 years have been a living hell. The Feds refuse to give up or admit that they were wrong even though they have nothing but the one voice mail message. Attorneys they have hired have told them that they just want him to cut a deal which would be an admission of guilt. He doesn't want to do that. They have burned thru most of their savings with legal fees. The husband was forced to close his restaurant and is still on house arrest. The actual drug dealers have served their time and are now free. I wished I could give her some good advice but this is another case where a good person gets caught in the Government meat grinder and can't get out. The husband has a hearing coming up soon. He is originally from Italy and the Feds want to deport him. Amazing.

If the joke was lost on you it is clearly a bad one.
Truth is what they say it is. So is your freedom. You know that.
So you peons need to show more respect.
Do you want to live in hell? Do you?
It would behoove you to shut up and sit down.
No lawyers in the Gulch want to take this up, and 50% of the payout when it makes 60 Minutes?
