Right, right. Funny how you use Martha Stewart as an example, though. Here's how this works, entities like the Department of Justice and the IRS don't just decide to roll out a high profile federal case so they can string up a couple low level peons that were working for the guy at the top of the food chain. Hold on to that delusion if you want, though.
If you want to niavely believe that Lew is not a prime target, fine. That's not "trolling". That's reality.
Target? Where is there even a suggestion that the investigation is even ongoing beyond the current prosecution, let alone that there are any targets beyond the indictees? I might suggest that you be a bit more careful about who you do or don't go around publicly naming as a target of a federal investigation. When such aspersions are baseless, its called defamation.

So they are targeting just because they are high profile (lol in itself) and fabricating charges against them?
I never said anything was fabricated. It looks like they have pretty solid evidence against the accused (i.e. not Lew). However, I do have my serious doubts that the USDOJ would ever take interest in prosecuting a college ticket skimming racket worth a few hundred k if it weren't for the fact that it happened at a premier athletic institution guaranteed to land in the paper, espn, etc. There are billions and billions of dollars worth of white collar crime every year in the US, the vast vast bulk of which goes entirely ignored by the DOJ - the piddly ticket skimming racket doesn't wind up chosen for attention by chance.
