Today's ABC item references yesterday's presser (second through fourth paragraphs): The revelation comes in stark contrast to statements made by the U.S. Attorney for Southern California, Andre Birotte, who addressed his own criminal inquiry of Armstrong for the first time publicly on Tuesday. Birotte's office spent nearly two years investigating Armstrong for crimes reportedly including drug distribution, fraud and conspiracy -- only to suddenly drop the case on the Friday before the Super Bowl last year. Sources at the time said that agents had recommended an indictment and could not understand why the case was suddenly dropped. Today, a high level source told ABC News, "Birotte does not speak for the federal government as a whole." -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
