Special Prosecutor Appointed For Jay Jones

[Edgetho]

No, not for the Death Threats he made against a Republican, but for the special treatment he got after committing a crime.

The crime of doing 46 MPH over the Speed Limit. Which, I believe is a Misdemeanor punishable by Jail Time. IOW, a Crime.

But that's not as interesting as the fact that they can't seem to find anybody in Virginia willing to take the job.

Now, isn't that curious??

The investigation isn't about him calling for the murder of state representatives, the children of state representatives, and police.

No, the investigation is about the curious case of Jay Jones speeding, doing 116 mph in fact, on a road with a posted speed limit of 70.

In Virginia, speeding by more than 40mph over the limit gets you an automatic "recklessness" upgrade to your fine, which always results in loss of license and even jail time.

But not for Jay Jones! Oh dear, not for a Democrat politician!

Jay Jones got zero jail time and also zero days of a license suspension.

Instead, he got 1000 hours of community service.

Now, that may sound like a lot of community service -- that's more than 40 full 24-hour days, according to my quick use of a desk calculator.

But Jay Jones supposedly did all 1000 hours of community service in just one year, while working full-time at his law firm and also working for his own political action committee.

Even if he spent 24 hours almost every weekend -- two 12 hour shifts in a row, Saturday then Sunday -- doing "community service," he would only just complete these hours in a year.

So how did he do it?

Simple -- they let him claim that the hours he spent working on his own self-serving political action committee counted as "community service."

And so a special prosecutor has been appointed to investigate the judge who gave him such a light non-sentence and whichever court officer approved this obviously-sham "community service."

John Sexton points out that people who drive more than 40 miles per hour over the speed limit usually have their licenses suspended or revoked, and often do jail time:

If you were caught driving 46 miles per hour over the speed limit in Virginia, would you expect to serve jail time or at least have your license suspended or driving privileges restricted? Those are the kinds of consequences many Virginia drivers have had to face but Jay Jones did not.
7News reviewed more than a dozen reckless driving cases in New Kent County, Virginia, where Jones was convicted of reckless driving in 2022, for driving 116 miles an hour.

Court records show, one man was found guilty of driving 115 mph in a 70 in New Kent County. He got 10 days in jail, his license was suspended for six months, he was fined $2,000, and once he got his license back, he could only drive to and from work.

On the same day Jones received his sentence, a Woodbridge man was sentenced to 30 days in jail for driving 115 mph in a 70-mph zone. The Prince William County man's sentence was suspended as long as he didn't speed again. The Woodbridge man's license was suspended for six months, then restricted, and he was fined $1,500.

Another man was found guilty of reckless driving for driving 104 mph in a 70-mph zone in New Kent County. That earned him 20 days in jail, a six-month license suspension, and a $1,250 fine.

Jones, a former Virginia lawmaker, got no jail time for driving 116 mph in a 70 on I-64. He paid a $1,500 fine, his driving privileges were not impacted and he got 1,000 hours of community service.

The Richmond Times Dispatch reported that Jones completed those 1,000 hours -- equal to 25 weeks of full-time work -- in just one year.

Well, easy! They credited him working at his actual jobs as doing "community service." That's the Special Justice that First-Tier connected people get.

From National Review:

The certificates signed by representatives of the NAACP and MOM PAC attest that Jones completed more than 500 hours of community service for each organization within the 2023 calendar year. In order to complete that number of hours within one year, Jones would have had to dedicate ten hours of every week to MOM PAC and ten hours to the NAACP, all while working at the law firm Hogan Lovells full time. Social media posts show Jones also traveled the state campaigning for fellow Democrats throughout that year.

Current AG, and Jones' opponent, Jason Miyares says that Jones must drop out as he is seeking the office that will decide whether or not he should go to prison or not. As clear a conflict of interest as one could imagine.








Abigail Spanberger will be asked about this, and she will hold her thin lips in that psychopathic grin as she dodges the question about the man seeking to be the AG simultaneously being the beneficiary of the good tier of two-tiered justice.

Typical punishment for a Democrat in Virginia.
