Craig Prosecutor Details Private Discussions With Embattled Senator
By Greg Sargent - September 24, 2007, 6:37PM

The prosecutor in the Larry Craig has just submitted a filing in response to Craig's request to withdraw his guilty pleay -- and in it, the lawyer shares lots of juicy details about his private conversations with Craig as he sought to decide whether to plead guilty or to fight the charges against him.

You can read the response of the prosecutor, Christopher Renz, right here in our TPM Document Collection. In it, the prosecutor details his discussions with the embattled Senator. Among the relevations:

-- In response to Craig's questions as to what would happen if he pled guilty, the prosecutor explained that his guilty plea would be a matter of public record.

-- The prosecutor noted drolly that Craig told him that "he was in a difficult situation as a result of the nature of the charges and his position as a United States Senator."

-- The prosecutor noted that in all conversations, Craig "seemed calm, intellegent and methodical in his questions. At no time during the conversations, did the Defendant appear to have a tone or sense of urgency, panic, or overt emotion."

Perhaps best of all, Craig wrote a handwritten note to the prosecutor profusely thanking him for his help. The note was submitted in court by the prosecutor; you can read it right here:

2. LOL, well, I guess the Thank-you note was written in panic as well

as was his guilty plea, both taking place over a month after the actual incident.

Talk about Craig providing his own rope to hang himself, this just about does it, imo.
