Why McGregor is not Cam's Uncle Milty

[raywhitewasframed]

While I would love to believe that Milton McGregor funneled money to the Newtons, and while I have been pre-disposed to believe it, something in the story makes me think there's nothing there, at least as specifically regards a direct link. Here's why: the article quotes his lawyer emphatically saying that his client did not have any contact with the Newtons or anyone else on their behalf. Before you say, "No ****, what do you expect the lawyer to say?", understand this: in the federal system that sort of statement in the press, while the case is pending, could be seen as a failure to accept responsibility (in the event it is considered relevant conduct and connected to the actual charges) and could end up costing the client several additional years. Now, if McGregor never, ever intends to plead guilty its no big deal. But in the federal system over 90 per cent of all cases plead. (Of those that don't, the fed gov't has a conviction rate that would rival any t.v. prosecutor). Hate to say it, but I think McGregor's lawyer is convinced there's nothing there; I don' t think he has made any such statements regarding the actual indictment against his client. In other words, its lawyer-speak for "He's guilty as charged, but not for this other ****."<div>
</div><div>It is entirely possible that the bagman is several steps removed from McGregor and that the lawyer's statement is therefore technically correct....if not entirely "true". </div>

tapes from teh FedS?

If so, he knows there is nothgin there right?

I think he is funny saying in his statement that he believes Cam is the best football player ever. He's playing the Findbaum callers like a fiddle. It's funny wathcing these high rollers move the Finebaum callers arpound like pawns...and me, too, I'll be listeningas another pawn...still.

to that damn cracker. <div>
</div><div>Poor Ray. All he did was "visit" a bank in Australia and "the Man" labeled him a thief. Looks like if he'd just gone to AU he could've had free roam at the bank.</div>

Seems like I read somewhere on the internets that his lawyer's had asked for early discovery and their request was denied. The lawyer's statement probably wasn't based on the wire-taps (it'll take him weeks if not months to peruse all of them) but on his client's assurance that there's not direct link. Which would have to mean that his client lied to h......ok, never mind.<div>
</div><div>Seriously, once the Feds get you, most folks in this position are savvy enough not to "mis-lead" they lawyers. I know McGregor looks like a hillbilly doofus, but I bet his sophisticated enough not to intentionally mis-lead his atty.</div><div>
</div><div>I keep trying to talk myself into believing that's NOT what the lawyer's statement means. God, it would be XMAS at my house if Auburn goes down through that link. </div>

I was told by someone "in the know" here in LA that "McGregor is capable of doing anything."

Of course he never plans to plead guilty, have you seen his picture! The hardened criminals in the federal system will love to get that rich fresh meat and he knows it!
