Biggest regret? Pleading guilty

Link to tweet

I have killer lawyers now, actively trying to get out of this, but it’s much more complicated than I thought.

EDIT: And now he deleted that second tweet! LOL. Sorry, I don't have the screenshot, only the text.

1. Well, yeah. They don't tend to listen to convicts "rescinding" their plea from jail...

Who'd a thunk?

2. And having his cushy jail sentence increased would also be "complicated"

Withdrawing his plea would kill the plea bargain. If he was then found guilty with a jury trial, he could be looking at doing a heck of a lot more time.

3. Sounds like his boss's "nobody knew health care was so complicated"

yeah, nobody except everybody who knows anything about anything.

There's a reason the allocution is a sworn statement and the judge makes you confirm parts of it out loud -- so you can't retract it without jumping face-first into a perjury admission.

6. His biggest regret should be

BEING guilty! Maybe if he hadn't broken the law, he wouldn't have any regrets.

7. isn't he in jail now? and if so, why is he allowed to tweet from jail?

more ammo for the judge to throw the book at him and up his sentence.

8. I like this reply

So you didn't lie to the FBI until you told the FBI you lied to the FBI, which makes the part where you told the FBI you lied to the FBI a lie...
