If you’re going up against the FBI and the legit Feds, it’s going to take more than a phone call.
A couple months at least and those months will include a lot of billable work and hours by the defense counsel.
Once they have you arrested, you will at least be grand juried and likely indicted because defendants can’t present evidence at a GJ.
So you’re at least waiting until an indictment. But once the Feds indict you, you’re going to get a plea offer or trial unless you have slam dunk evidence of your innocence and even then they will likely still take you to trial because money is no object to them. So why not make you go to trial and then have to defeat their case. And once you’re at trial, your slam dunk evidence may not be so “slam dunk” in the eyes of a jury.
