Soon

The lead investigator in the Duke Cunningham investigation gives us a juicy tidbit today in the North County Times. From the NCTimes:

"This is much bigger and wider than just Randy 'Duke' Cunningham," he said. "All that has just not come out yet, but it won't be much longer and then you will know just how widespread this is."

I do find one thing odd though, so I'd like to take this time to do some speculation. Not wild speculation, but the garden variety type. Cunningham was given an eight year sentence, and for a man his age, in his condition, that's pretty much a death sentence. He could get time taken off his sentence for cooperation, in fact, his plea deal mandates that he do so.

Cunningham has, instead, decided to clam up. What's his motivation for that. Well it could be that when you party with guys named Nine Fingers (Brant Bassett), you shut the fuck up and do your time. Is Cunningham being threatened by personnel from the CIA or some other black agency to keep quiet? Cunningham might not fear for his own life, but his wife is still trying to live on the outside.

I'd have to believe that Cunningham believes that some sort of threat does exist, whether real or not. It's really the only incentive he has not to cooperate, unless he has found a very special sort of shower buddy on the inside.
