Which federal criminal investigation was that? I must have missed that.

I was just watching the 60 Minutes segment on this matter. All I can say is there are unsavory characters on each side of this matter.

I watched it too. All I can say is WOW!!! Death threats? Justifying giving A-Fraud PEDS as doing nothing wrong under the belief that other players are juicying and if you're going to juice, you need to do it right? Both surround themselves with convicted criminals? Offering to pay and hide Bosch in Colombia to obstruct justice? The volumes of text messages is very damaging and indefensible. What a pair of sociopaths. They deserved each other and both should be in jail.

Was also kind of difficult listening to his lawyer claim that MLB gave Bosch immunity in a federal criminal investigation. I wasn't aware that MLB is also the Department of Justice.

Man. A-Fraud's attorney is one scary looking guy. Sounds pretty good at misdirection.

After reading your posts am I correct in assuming you don't think too highly of Joe Tacopina?

Have you ever opposed him in court?

Uh, aren't these rave reviews from the same sources as Jeff has on his own website?

I always find it funny when A Fraud, his attorneys and supporters say you can't trust a guy like Bosch because he is a known liar.

Well, Mr. Rodriguez, what about all of the times you were asked if you had EVER used PED's and you always said no? Didn't you do an interview on 60 Minutes and when asked, you looked straight into the camera and said you never did PED's?

Of course, when your big dollar, long term contract's out clause came up, you opted out and then got a bigger dollar, longer term contract. What happened then? You admitted you had, in fact, used PED's but it was only after receiving your first contract and before PED use was banned in MLB.

How convenient.

Why doesn't a reporter ask A Fruad, his attorney's and his supporters about that and ask why people should trust A Fraud?

Why don't reporters ask if there is no evidnece to connect A Fraud to Bio Genesis and PED's and that he is/was clean and Bosch is a liar then why OTHER MLB players connected to Bio Genesis accepted their suspensions? Why did they do this? Are they in on the conspiracy to bring A Fraud down also?

If possible, Tacopina's one step below an ambulance chaser. The lowest of the low scum when it comes to attorneys

This is the best point. God forbid ARod gets what he asks for and has to try these issues before a jury. MLB will simply subpoena and trot out numerous players who received PEDs from Bosch, with the same text messaging, protocols, etc. as Bosch received from ARod. What will the defense be then? That it's a racial thing?

This case should have been settled for 100 games or less when ARod had the chance. Would have saved him over $10 million and a lot of embarrassment. Whoever convinced him that he has a chance in federal or state court in NY should have his head examined.
