The model democrat.

She is just doing the same thing as Hillary.

Obviously, we need more government, more taxes and more power for politicians to combat this.

She'll be fine. She just has to say she didn't know the law and had no intent...skate Free all people from all jails who did not know the law and had no intent to break the law. (And of course they can't intentionally break a law that they don't know about of course) Free the people now!

Sigh...do we need to start listing the myriad Republican scandals so we can continue this tit-for-tat game we all seem to be playing? You know that's what they want, right?

Obviously we need to hold no politician accountable, that is essentially what you are saying.

She didn't intend to embezzle all those funds. It was an accident and she'll promise to never do it again.

Obviously we only need to hold lawyers accountable now. If you don't know the law and you have no intent to break the law you don't know about (LOL) then you are innocent of breaking the law. That is the new standard.

Let everyone out of jail NOW! Okay, so there might be some lawyers in there who know the law well enough to break it intentionally...

Whoops! Hillary IS a lawyer...so no lawyers can be guilty either...close down the whole prison system in the United States NOW! They hold only INNOCENT people...

Missing the point. It is the political elite which is being showcased.


This one happens to be a dem. Since Hillry, who had a laundry list of offenses that somehow did not add up to a criminal charge, an equivalence is suggested with this latest legislative elitist. It suggests that dems have a get out of jail free card.


Okay no criminal charges but how can there be no offical consequence. This has set a precedent making one wonder if it is only the connected that circumvent the laws we all must follow. DMLM... do voters lives matter?
