A Crime Family Like Nothing History Has Ever Known
The sheer volume of brazen felonies committed by Trump’s closest associates boggles the mind. The only thing more astounding is that tens of million of Americans still support this crime family, most of whom, at the same time, considering themselves “good people.” Incomprehensible.
Contrary to the message on the embezzler’s T-shirt at left here, Roger Stone actually did several things wrong.
His abortive efforts to sabotage a congressional investigation that threatened his longtime friend President Trump resulted in Stone’s conviction in federal court on seven felonies for obstructing the congressional inquiry, lying to investigators under oath and trying to block the testimony of a witness whose account would have exposed his lies. Jurors convicted him on all counts, which, taken together, carry a maximum prison term of 50 years.
He won’t get 50 years, but he’ll be away for quite a while. Bye!
Who’s next? Hint: Think orange.
Craig,
Since Roger Stone is still in the process of Appealing his controversial convictions, your gleeful gloating may be premature.
Likewise Ms Turk is appealing her much misreported one month jail sentence.
She did not “steal welfare checks” from her mother. For many years Ms Turk struggled to look after her mother who at 83 and suffering from advanced Alzheimer’s, became too much for her.
Ms Turk placed her mother in the care of an expensive Finnish-American Village assisted living facility.
As the bills mounted, (the government cheques covered less than 25% of the cost) Ms Turk own financial position deteriorated and was sued by the Finnish-American Village assisted living facility.
As a result of the ensuing law suit, the discovery that Ms Turk owed the facility $240,000. plus $120,000 in “late payment fees”.
Ms Turk failed to send $17,600 in government money to the facility (she has since repaid the government). Ms Turk sold her home to repay the government, provide for her mother and keep funding her action against the Finnish-American Village assisted living facility.
Ms Turk will remain free while her case is appealed.
Ms Turk is perhaps not the most ideal of people in her life choices, but does her behavior deserve such hatred? Certainly her behavior was irresponsible, but would it be treated with more compassion is she held different political beliefs?
Contrast her behavior with that of Sen, Elizabeth Warren who deliberately lied to cheat a disadvantaged minority scholarship candidate out of a university place so she could advantage herself at his expense?
Hypocrisy?
