Quote:Federal charges.  She will do jail time no matter how hard she may try to plea it down. 

 

I listened to the press conference after her hearing, and the woman showed just how vile she is.  After ranting on about how she got the money to pay for the courthouse, and how she demanded minority participation in the construction of the facility, but that after the fact she found out that minorities weren't involved in the construction, so the courthouse itself, and all the agents inside are officially racist.  She then went on this tirade about how the shooting in Orlando, saying that the agents investigating her for these frivolous charges could have prevented a shooting that killed 50 people in her district if they'd done a better job of investigating the shooter. 

 

During the press conference, her lawyer complained that she was required by the court to appear today, and that they could have moved the date of the hearing to accommodate a sitting member of congress instead of treating her like a common criminal.  Apparently, she had some serious business to attend to with votes on the Zika virus, and an FAA continuation bill.  I don't know how congress managed to survive, but the common criminal didn't get the date changed to be more convenient for her.  Her lawyer then went on to call this a racially and politically motivated assault on her client.  Huh?  Black president.  Black AG.  All democrats.  What am I missing here?

 

The best part was at the beginning where she had her bishop, and another minister speak on her behalf.  You would have thought the Justice Department just indicted Mother Theresa, Ghandi, and Martin Luther King Jr. based on how they spoke gushingly about her and what a wonderful human being she is.  It was painful to listen to.

 

Corrine says she wants her day in court.  My guess is that before that day arrives, she'll have cooked up a deal to assure that she doesn't actually die in prison.
