Prince George's county executive Jack B. Johnson ought to have a fairly easy time getting the charges against him dropped. It's obviously a case of mistaken identity. Only a nincompoop would do what the FBI alleges he did.

People all over the city were aghast at the level of corruption uncovered so far by an ongoing federal investigation.
