Note all the Democrats in this thread screaming how it's unfair political persecution and a witch hunt...
- But I don't see anyone complaining about... Ah, point taken.
- Yeah but this fucker had been known to be corrupt for years and no one did shit about it.
  
  Idk seems to be like the fbi during the Biden administration did something...
If only he had waited. Bribery is legal now, right?
- Only when Papa gets his cut.
- Magic Supreme Court Ball: Signs point to YES
- Please. The only difference between this and Congress is that they insider trade, which is legal for them and the rest of the branch.
Great! Now do the rest!
- We've had Menendez, now can we have Gaetz?
  
  I guess we did get a Santos, remember this fucker https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2024/08/19/george-santos-guilty/74857375007/
He was replaced by someone infinitely better so thats like a double win. Got 2 birds stoned at once
- Got 2 birds stoned at once
- Frig off Ricky!
Can't believe this fuck tried to blame it all on his wife. If there is one way to guarantee yourself zero leniency...
- I think he was blaming his wife to get off on the charges, then she would have done the same thing and blamed him… they were hoping to both get off using this tactic because you can’t be compelled to testify against your spouse. It obviously didn’t work.
  
  Dude had wads of cash and gold bars all throughout his house lol.
From gold bars to iron bars...
He should have ran for president.
