A Question of Timing

So, I'm not always great at guiding readers through the passage of time, but even I can tell that two months is plenty of time in which to both consult an attorney and enter a plea "quickly and expeditiously." I suspect the good senator has his lawyer on speed dial.

If you have to lie to yourself, sir, that's one thing. If you lie to me, though, you'll find I'm a somewhat more critical audience.
