If that's the case, wouldn't it make it even harder for Billy to explain his actions? That is, if other officials with an exemption did not make "improper" purchases beyond the boundaries set down by the pCard manual, Billy couldn't claim it was a likely, even expected consequence of a pCard exemption in normal everyday use.
I would think a good prosecutor would ask him why those other officials were able to use their pCard even with an exemption, within the framework of the agreement they signed, and he couldn't.
