    Unless they’re charged with perjury, this is just another example of the failure of the justice system.

        Charges first, then trial, then verdict, then sentencing.

        Unfortunately, the snail’s pace of the justice system is its Achilles’ Heel. The fascists are using that slowness to do anything they want right now, and push off consequences as long as possible. Lather, rinse, repeat.

        So, to correct my previous comment, even if they’re charged with perjury, the justice system has failed.

        Fourth box.

      This kind of thing is why I think the founding fathers assumed dueling would play a part in keeping representatives honest.

      That 's always my concern, HOW much money?

      How many digits does there need to be in my bank account till I can toss family members under the bus with a smile?

      How much money does it take to not care when children starve to death?
