GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
In exchange for a recommendation of a lenient sentence, Michael Vick has agreed to cooperate in investigations and prosecutions of other criminals. Specifically, Vick agreed, if asked, to provide "full, complete and truthful cooperation" with federal prosecutors "regarding any criminal activity as requested by the government."
That raises an interesting question that probably hasn't been addressed enough in all this: Just how much criminal activity does Vick have knowledge about? Obviously, the prosecutors wouldn't agree to this deal if they thought the only criminals Vick had any association with were the ones involved in Bad Newz Kennels, because those criminals have already pleaded guilty. Vick had no leverage there.
Vick is only useful to the prosecutors if he has additional knowledge of additional criminal activity, criminal activity that we currently don't know about. But In a strange way, the more Vick helps the government, the more he might hurt his chances of getting back to the NFL, as it's hard to see how he can help the government without acknowledging that he's deeply involved in a criminal underworld. The prosecutors might be glad that Vick is willing to talk about such things, but NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell won't be.
