A Modest Proposal: Letter to THOMAS GLAIZE MANUEL, Suggesting That He Release Transcripts and Video/Audio Tapes of FBI Surveillance in Bribery Case

Dear Tom:
May I suggest that you release all of the transcripts and tapes now? This would promote transparency and help uncover the truth. If you are the victim of entrapment, nothing could prove it swifter than opening it all to the public -- just as you did your interviews of County Administrator candidates. Wouldn't it be novel and newsworthy if a white collar defendant exercised his right to share discovery materials with the people and the press? This could help your attorney and investigators and pursue leads, helping lead to the "just, speedy and inexpensive determination" of your case. Compare F.R.Civ. P. Rule 1.
As Justice Louis Dembitz Brandeis said, "sunlight is the best disinfectant and electric light the best policeman."
With kindest regards, I am,
Sincerely yours,
Ed Slavin
