Watching the political drama unfold over the past week, Wayne State University Political Science Professor Lyke Thompson said the futures of Michigan Attorney General Michael Cox and Attorney Geoffrey Fieger hinge on whether or not charges are filed against Fieger. Last week Cox accused Fieger of extortion and charges could be filed some time this week. \"I was surprised about the entanglement that they've all gotten themselves into,\" said Thompson. He said Cox's family values image will suffer because he cheated on his wife, but Fieger's reputation would suffer more if criminal charges are filed against him.
