BTW, if any of my deputy Attorneys General (e.g., Dave or Jim S) could take over my cases and prosecute the docket coming up at the formal proceedings (People versus Hambone -- indictments on 1 count ea of High Treason and Attempted Murder; and People versus Amtrak Joe -- for which I did not yet read the case file, the SAA can read you in on both ...
).
Muddying the waters -- a little -- is the (marginally) regrettable fact that Hambone is, in reality, entirely innocent. However, as the actual perp is vital/critical to the overarching grand (if not somewhat evil ...
) masterplan I have set in motion for Stovebolt.com, a suitable patsy is needed. Hence Hambone. Your job, in addition to building an air tight (but still completely fabricated) case against brother Hambone, is to convince Hambone of the greater good of "taking one for the team."
Hambone's defense is being led by no less than the Camp Commandant himself -- forget your feelings of friendship here -- be ruthless! And a little prep is in order. Feel free to indict him as a co conspirator on the treason charge if his defense gains any traction.
Carry on. I expect complete success or I will charge you both with ... something.
John
