It’s Thursday Morning. Frankfort Is Abuzz.

March 26th, 2009 · 11 Comments

The court finally heard Robert Felner’s interview. The bits where he alleges he was held against his will by federal investigators. The recordings prove Felner never asked for an attorney. Felner even acknowledged that he knew he wasn’t under arrest. Moral of the story: these federal investigators are amazing […]

It’s the Weekend Before a Dead News Week

December 20th, 2008 · 14 Comments

Man, we thought the weekend before the holidays would be boring. Definitely not the case!
