I'd agree that it looks bad, with one caveat: if this drug dealer is in Sensenbrenner's own congressional district, then the congressman is just working for his people.
No, this drug ring was in Chicago. It was run by a Chicago Cop (a Captain IIRC) who is now doing life - and rightfully so.
And there were 'no babes in the woods' involved in this drug ring. They were all gang bangers, career criminals and outright killers. This canard in the article about this guy and it being his first arrest is Bull... It just means this is the first time he was caught.
And having this judge arbitrarily and ILLEGALLY take 20% off the prison time is ... disgusting.
