Barry Bonds indicted

Or was he just the biggest part of a far reaching investigation that some high ups thought was a good idea as part of the "war on drugs?"

Considering the investigation started at the agent level, within the IRS......

Was he targeted as the main piece of this investigation? Sure he was. Is that fair? Probably not. But it comes with the territory in todays society, for better or worse.

Not complaining, just calling it like it is.....no excuses though, hell, I'm excited to finally see the system work and him be afforded his day in court.

He can handle the pressure, be it MLB, the media, or the entire United States of America.

The offer of immunity being a "gotcha" tactic is silly to think. Even if Bonds was the "big fish" that some people were after, the overall scope of the investigation was much larger and could have benefited greatly from Bonds cooperating.

How do you explain the "big scope" of the original investigation netting 4 convictions for no more than 4 months as part of a quick plea...yet, they have no problem having Greg sit in jail for over a year because he won't testify against Bonds?

That tells you all you need to know about their priorities.

They've spent almost 5 years and countless amounts of money, and you're really thinking it was for those 2-3 month plea bargains?

I know you like to argue just to argue, but c'mon man...
