If he were a Democrat, it wouldn’t even be condemned in editorials, much less go to trial.
Welcome to the national Gulag.
Leftist kill.
They are killing the country.
No dissent allowed.
And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!
Solzhenitsyn
“How is that people who have been crushed by the sheer weight of slavery and cast to the bottom of the pit can nevertheless find the strength to rise up and free themselves, first in spirit and then in body; while those who soar unhampered over the peaks of freedom suddenly lose the taste for freedom, lose the will to defend it, and, hopelessly confused and lost, almost begin to crave slavery”. Alexander Solzhenitsyn.
Meanwhile, Sen. Mark Warner skates quietly by after having established contact with the daughter of a departing State Senator about a job offer in order to possibly dissuade him from leaving.
The charges were ridiculous. Al Sharpton killed 8 people and lost a $300,000 judgment, yet he walks the land with cash in his pocket.
This a.m., Richmond’s AM station WRVA 1140 mentioned the judge making the determination is a Reagan appointee... for what it’s worth.
James Trafficant got sent up for 7 years for similar stuff. He had to serve the full 7 years. I thought at the time and still do that it was way too much. Pedophiles who sexually assault kids only get a year or two. I think the average murderer serves less than 10 years.
For a person who has never committed a crime previously and commits a non violent type crime a year or two is a lot of punishment. Maybe make him pay the $150,000 back. For most of us just the public humiliation would be enough.
Indeed. George Allen got off easy: he merely lost his re-election.
Still. . . the precedent of Obama Administration needs to boomerang onto the Dems when Conservatives take control.
Send Charlie Rangel to jail for Tax Evasion. Amongst other things. . .
“The railroading of Bob McDonnell” No.
“He is being sent away for being Christian, conservative and a threat to the Hillary machine”
No, he was convicted, rightly so for corruption. Nothing Christian or conservative about that or him.
He squandered his political future himself. He deserves to go to jail, and it is likely that he will.
