Partisan bullshit aside, my first reaction to the heavy-handedness of the FBI in this case is that there's some potential for the Feds to invoke the RICO act, since there were hookers and/or clients crossing state lines.

I AM NOT AN ACTUAL LAW-TTORNEY, but RICO could potentially be invoked. I don't know how likely that is, but it came up during some discussion with friends last week.

It is, after all, racketeering in a sense. And apparently the legal profession has twisted the hell out of RICO already.

Just a thought. Loquitur, you or other professionals feel free to tell me how full of shit I may be. *wink*
