Hose, I agree with you in theory—wouldn’t mind at all if they hauled every last one of them in.
But our system requires evidence, and it needs to be done carefully and methodically. That takes time. It took quite awhile before Warren Jeffs was finally sent to Huntsville, but there he sits, in all his shaved-head glory.
I have to hand it to Texas (holding judgment on the other states involved) for doing it right, and as I said before, they’re still working on indictments according to some who seem to be in the know.
Personally, I think RICO laws should apply—and I think the feds should be prosecuting as well. There are state and international borders which were crossed with the children; there is the welfare fraud; stories abound about interstate drug traffic, stolen vehicle traffic, and more—in addition to the child abuse, and according to one teevee commentator, possible child porn as a result of some videos that might have been sold of some of these “weddings.” Not to mention all the aiding and abetting of all of the above.
I appreciate that TX has been so meticulous. So far, every case they’ve tried has resulted in convictions. Let’s keep that perfect record.

Hell Jeffs and all his cronies are WHITE...
So Holder couldn’t have much trouble with that..
NOW if Jeffs were BLACK.. there would be a problem...
Don’t expect any investigation of the Nation of Islam soon..
You know... Louis Farrakand..
