In the REAL world, out in public, it's called "Embezzlement", and you would be in jail. There's NOTHING in here about $$$$ penalties, paying money back, etc., nor is their a "criminal record", so to speak.

You just stand up and get called names by your "peers" (fellow travelers in the lobbyist/favored kickback schemes).

Is this a great Country, or what? (That is, if you're a politician or live on the public dole).

He didn’t embezzle anything. In the real world, it is called “influence-peddling,” “tax fraud” and “concealing assets” and you are fined and go to prison, especially if your have evaded paying taxes on certain income for 17 years. Proof positive that Americans are NOT equal under the law. Black politicians are held to a different, much lower standard.
