I believe they had a helicopter and a boat out there as well for this hardened “criminal” accused of a foreign agents registration violation that is almost never prosecuted. Contrast this idiotic waste of money with the federal prison in Manhattan. You have the highest profile prisoner in the system, a billionaire pedophile who can name lots of important names, and: 1) there isn’t enough money to hire extra guards; 2) the ones on the job don’t have the energy to walk by his cell every half hour because they are “tired”; 3) the two cameras on his cell are “broken” and there isn’t enough money to repair them; 4) the prisoner has attempted “suicide” in the prior two weeks and there is not enough money to maintain a suicide watch. Interesting priorities of our taxpayer money, aren’t they?
Excellent comparison! I hadn’t thought of it like that before.
