Barry Bonds vs. The Feds

Reportedly, the US Attorneys heading up the Bonds perjury investigation believe they will be ready to indict this fall. Helps that they have another six months to work on the matter (since they just got their grand jury term extended by that length of time). All of this has Bonds’ lawyer fired up:
“I’ll outmaneuver them at every turn,” Rains told the newspaper Saturday night. “I’ve kicked their ass in private, I’ll continue to kick their ass in public.”
Wow. Eye of the Tiger, fella.
Plus, I wonder at this reasoning:
“The lawyer told the newspaper that he believes the government didn’t let Bonds look at the evidence because it wanted him to slip up in his testimony. ‘It was a perjury trap,’ Rains told The Daily News.”
Maybe. Or maybe the hope was that Bonds would tell the truth.
