Another far-fetched conspiracy?

Somewhere deep within the secret and mysterious lairs of the AG’s office works an ambitious and vengeful attorney. While slaving over his desk one day, he receives a telephone call from his former illegal (and unconstitutionally appointed) boss, Miss Mary Karen.

“Jim,” says the lovely and gracious Miss Karen, “What kind of dirt have you dug up on our hotshot young attorney–the character who ousted me?”

“Nothing so far,” replies Jim. “But I got the AG’s Plumber’s Unit working overtime on it. I am sure we will find something on him soon. And if not, then we will just have to invent something, won’t we.”

“You mean pull something out of our black bag of dirty AG tricks?” inquires Miss Karen.

“Sure,” replies Jim. “We could simply frame him. It should not be difficult to execute, as long as we plan it properly and pay careful attention to all of the sordid details.”

“But won’t the ever intrepid Rep. Stanley T. find out about our entire operation?” wondered Miss Karen. “After all, he did get Mr. Saddler on that lottery thing, didn’t he?”

“Don’t worry about Rep. Stanley. We can handle Rep. Stanley,” assures Jim. “He will not have a shred of proof. He may hint at a vicious conspiracy, as may others, but they won’t have anything to back it up. If this goes down exactly as I anticipate, we can have the young lad permanently disbarred–unable to practice in the profession.”

“Gee, what do you think we should do to him?” asks Karen. “I am sure eager to get some payback for what he did to me. Should we plant some narcotics on him and then arrest him for possession with intent to distribute?”

“Nah,” says Jim. “We can do much better than that. How about an embarrassing sex charge?”

“That sounds mighty interesting,” muses Miss Karen. “Do you suppose we could round up some of Mr. Wietzman’s former Karaoke House clients and have them entrap the strapping young lad into a prostitution rap?”

“No, I got a much better idea,” declares Jim. “We could locate a minor and then entice her to file certain charges amounting to, um, . . .”

“Yeah! yeah! I get it! And then we could also round up his whole family on obstruction of justice charges and get us some real payback!”

Come on now, folks, do you really think that this could happen under Governor Teno’s able administration? Some people apparently seem to think so.
