    What is surprising ? He hired a "hitman " ( in reality , a federal agent posing as one .... Doh ! )
    .... that's conspiracy to commit murder for starters !

    "It’s hard to imagine the Reason.com commenters actually" revealed their true IP addresses, let alone their true names. But "fools rush in where angels fear to tread" ;)

    What a shock, corrupt government officials! What are we legalizing here, drugs or "being above the law"?

    lol, FBI been snoozing for 5-6 years but now they's back on the yob (have they found ben sumnother on the map yet?). interesting that the prosecutors want to make an example out of someone and "send a message" instead of just applying the law.
