Answer 1

No, he's being prosecuted.

Then he's being jailed.

Then he's being released.

Then he's being an ex-con.

Then he's being feted at his homecoming parade.

Answer 2

How could he be railroaded? He just likes to keep some cool cash on hand....everybody keeps $90k or so in the freezer or a cereal box.

Ms Pelosi says she will have no corruption in her house, so she must be asking for his resignation and prosecution to keep her word.

What I can't wait for is:
1) the fallout from this, i.e., who else will be seen scurrying across the floor now that the light is on, and
2) when will they look into Harry Reid? It is commonly alleged that if you want to talk to this dirty harry, you have to make a donation {pay a fee} to one of the lobbyist companies that employ one or two his family members.

What about the land deal in LV? the Laughlin bridge project funding? condo gifts? How did HR go from dirt poor to having a net worth of about $30M without ever having a real job?? Look over your shoulder HR; see the man? hear the footsteps?

Why is it a republican who [only] sent inappropriate messages resign while a dem who actually took an underage boy to a foreign country got promoted within his party??

Has anyone recently studied the number of millionaires who donate to the two parties? Not counting the Soros mess, Buffet's leanings, and Progressive Insurance the last study showed more donating to the dems.

Ahhhhh, venting accomplished.

Answer 3

So how is this info that Democrats help corruption? they are able to't precisely kick him out of Congress, and unquestionably he hasn't been discovered answerable for something, so as that they in line with danger in simple terms following a precedent of certainly waiting for a conviction till now assuming he's in charge. Republicans seem to do the comparable element, i think of Tom postpone replaced into in for a reasonably a whilst after quotes have been introduced against him. the way congress works, it incredibly is in lots of situations no longer a great thought to forget approximately approximately human beings once you prefer as many alliances as a threat to get something finished. a extra effective question is how many committees is he at the instant on? that ought to grant you a real indication of ways plenty power they're keen available suspected criminals.

Answer 4

I guess we will see what evidence they have. Sounds like some of it is pretty good. They said the 90k in his freezer was "sting" money" used as bait. And having video of him taking a bribe sounds pretty compeling to me.

Answer 5

Let's see - 16 indictments & two of his partners have already pleaded guilty and been sentenced to 7 & 8 years - hmmmm I really have to think about this. Is it possible he just likes to keep his money cold or was that really a dumb place to hide money? How do you spell corrupt?

Answer 6

When was the last time you had $90,000 lying around and decided to put it in the Freezer? If you have that much money, I could use some of it!

Answer 7

No, he is most definately not being railroaded. He is guilty! He is going down. ha ha. Just another to add to the list of idiots and hypocrites in the Democratic party.

Answer 8

Awhile back I heard that Duke Cunningham, Jack Abramoff, Tom Delay et al were innocent until proven guilty.

Answer 9

His name is Jefferson, not Clinton or Kennedy. The money he tried to conceal were marked bills, and he is on tape. It will be interesting what his defense will be, but given that he is a democrat, insanity might be plausable.

Answer 10

Nope. Jefferson got caught.

But let's not confuse apples with oranges here. The GOP still has more skeletons in its closet right now, than the Democrats.

Answer 11

Yeah if I had a hundred k laying around the freezer is where I'd want it....
