One concern at the state level is that we have an aggressive federal prosecutor named Patrick Fitzgerald that has been locking them up left and right (pun intended). Both candidates have stated they would not replace or reassign him, but there is at least some concern that Obama might owe a few too many favors to follow through.
We've gotten one here too.
Matter of fact I have a brother in law who is about to start serving two years two little for bribing public officials. (Told the story about this one a while back but this guy has had it comming for a long LONG time)
One of the officials that was involved. Whom I also know personally is about to start serving alot more then that.
Seems when he got caught and the gravy train stopped rolling and he went to jail. His wife decided she wanted a divorce.
So what did he do?
He proved just how much of a piece of watermelon i always knew he was too by trying to hire a hit man (from jail) to bump his wife off.
Problem is. The hit man he tried to hire (from jail) was a government plant.
Now instead of sitting all cozy in the Fed prison for the white collar crime. H'ell be getting to hang out with some good ol boys by the name of Bubba and Jose
Bye bye Richie Kaplan. Sucks to be you.
Problem is with these prosecutors. is they never seem to go after many of the BIG boys.
Oh sure they nab one here and there just to make it look good.
But its really pretty rare.
Rumor has it our guy is going to be running against our wannabe emperor governor next election.
