Rosalind (& I guess earlier Brian Monroe) allude to the possibility that Joe Biernat is snitching on fellow past & present councilmembers.
Disclaimer...disclaimer...disclaimer: Joe Biernat has not been found guilty of anything, nor has it been proven he is making any proffer. However, if he is making a proffer, doesn't that imply guilt - a plea bargain if you will? And if a proffer is equivalent to "admitting" to something, shouldn't Biernat be expected to resign immediately (even as he pursues his full legal rights)? Flip side: the feds do go on fishing missions, and sometimes proffers are designed to get state power off your back even when you haven't done anything. Is equating cooperation with resignation too strong an interpretation of what a proffer represents? I'm curious what citizens - and lawyer/citizens - think.
