It is genuinely uplifting to see that sometimes actions have consequences
Was it a state crime, or is Trump going to pardon him?
It's federal.
Won't surprise me if Trump pardons him then
HitlerPig will definitely pardon him.
So fraud can be linked with jail time? Time to do the same to Fascist 47.
Man outside of being an objectively horrible person, he might be the most comedically hilarious politician of our time.
Andy Kaufman levels of comedic genius if it were a character.
Awesome, now get the rest of the GQP lmao
Pardon incoming. Mark my words.
New Sec Def incoming
Good start now get the rest of the GOP.
Wonderful! Do Andy Ogles next.
All this small-time conman wanted to do was run a losing race in a safely Blue district, raise as much money as possible, and then walk away with his campaign chest to spend however he pleased. Its illegal, but nobody EVER gets charged with dipping into their campaign fund once they are out of office. It simply NEVER happens.
It could have been the perfect crime, except the district lines got redrawn, and he found himself in a more competitive district, and stumbled into a win, and the national spotlight was instantly on him. Every photo of him had that deer-in-the-headlights expression because he KNEW he was in way over his head. Cons work best when they are on the down low, and now he was way too well-known to fly under the radar.
Hilarious.
Will he just be serving time at home, like Le Pen?
