He's out on bail (of a mere $10,000) while on appeal
I note he also got 10 YEARS COMMUNITY SERVICE for money laundering. (also on appeal)
Interesting sentence, isn't it? 3 Years for conspiring to pervert our political process, and 10 years community service for money laundering!?
He'll probably do that community service for the GOP.
What a joke this nation's CRIMINAL justice system has become.
Well....to their credit at least they tell us what it really is --It's CRIMINAL justice, as opposed to plain old justice.
Now if the guy had been providing marijuania to people who wanted it in Texas, he'd probably have gotten a LIFE Sentence and $10,000,000 bond while on appeal (if he could even get out on bail)
Shows us where our REAL priorities are, doesn't it?
Screw over the poltical process that we all depend on, and, if you well connected TO THE MASTERS, you get a slap on the wrist (maybe)
But sell a harmless weed to people who want that weed and you're in the slammers forever.
And people wonder why we don't respect the masters.
Our society is RUN by criminals, folks.
That much is painfully obvious when we see cases like this.
