From deep inside the Savannah federal courthouse....

comes this report. Remember when Officer Mighty Mole was reporting from within the CCSO that BTW was subjecting his deputies to "voice stress tests" to try to figure out who was leaking to the press and the GBI? It now turns out that the feds are taking the position that that was an prosecutable attempt to impede the investigation. Look for that in the form of multiple obstruction of justice charges when he is indicted. Also, the feds were very interested in the Bill Smith / Fairley Cisco connection BEFORE the shorting gas pumps were discovered. They are even more interested now. Apparently, subornation of perjury charges will be included in the indictment. My source cites the assertion that Smith urged deputies who took trustys to his ex-wife's house in Charleston to lie and say that they took other deputies to the house as but one example. The federal prosecutorial team, brought in from Atlanta, specializes in high profile, political corruption cases. They are reported to be the best of the best on the federal team. Reportedly, they have a 98% conviction rate in cases they have enough confidence in to present to a federal grand jury. Their indictment rate is virtually 100%. Word from inside CCSO is that higher ups are not sleeping well. Easterling, Sleazy Talker, Blundy, Nastrioanni, Boo Boo Byerly and Dyals are all wrecks. Dyals has already stated that he is not going to lie to protect anyone. As you read, the grand jury investigation is ongoing. Stay tuned.
