Another one could be found guilty of not committing a crime... but it doesn't matter. This is just as good... right?
Martha Stewart - Never convicted of insider trading... though if you tell that to most people, they'll stare at you dumbfounded.
Scooter Libby - Never convicted of committing a crime directly rated to Valerie Plame... though if you tell that to most people, they'll call you a bald faced liar.
and now potentially...
Barry Bonds - Not charged with using steroids, selling steroids, or any other crime related to steroids. Though if you read most blogs regarding the news, you wouldn't know it.
What do these three people all have in common? They were charged with obstruction of justice, lying to federal investigators, and perjury. Personally, I've always found the crime of "lying to federal investigators" to be bullshit. After all, they can lie to you all they want... but suddenly it's wrong for you to lie to them... especially since depending on the circumstances, you don't have a right to remain silent. They'll charge you for that too.
