This rant covers this issue. It is also a reason why I think we will see more and more political strife in this country over the next few decades. The political class is above the peons.

You think it's the political class that's the issue? Lol. The political class is a tiny but instrumental group to a much larger class of people who have been fucking this country over for years and they typically don't go to jail for their crimes.

The whole system is the issue. Read the article.

5 yrs in federal prison seems like a lot more than a slap on the wrist.

The article said 5 yrs was right in accordance with federal sentencing guidelines. If so I've got no problem with it.

Were you dropped on your head as a child?

I say both sides are the same because I hate them both. You claim both sides are bad, but hate one while you love the other.

In other words: You're a partisan dipshit.

As a child? I'm pretty sure his principle mode of transportation is pogo stick - head down.

You both seem to have a problem with reading comprehension. I didn't say both sides were the same, that's what bobberfet was claiming I said. But idiots tend to flock together, as do dishonest twats like yourselves who change the argument to maintain your bubble.
