Not to keep harping on this, but rather to show the irrationality
of Mr. Mann's line of thinking:  The fact that the FBI hasn't moved
on an indictment says almost nothing about the guilt or innocence
of Councilmember Zimmermann.  In fact, the apparent lack of
activity may be indicative of Mr. Zimmermann's cooperation. I guess
Mr. Mann doesn't watch The Sopranos. ;-)
