After reading the SI article I find myself quite antagonistic to the federal prosecutors. Their theory of what is illegal here as an underlying federal crime is strained and IMO pretextual--the alleged "victims" (schools deprived of "honest services" , students who received payments, etc)--are more like beneficiaries or co-conspirators. Then they pile the usual federal BS process crimes (wire fraud, etc.) on top to create a scarier worst-case scenario for defendants. As Harvard Law grad Harvey Silverglate has written about the general phenomenon, this looks like more "three felonies a day" abuse by the Justice Department. |
