If her name was Martha Jones and she was a mid-management nothing she would have never been charged.

You have the sane comment of the thread.

amazing how many conservaties hate Martha for her poltics and want the legal system to punish her for listening to her broker.

Ain't it the truth. The taxpayers have lost untold amount just because she's famous.

[HRoarke]

She wouldn't have been charged at all if she hadn't lied to investigators.

As always the coverup is worse than the crime...

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Exactly. This is pathetic.

If her name was Sam Jones...

A mid-management person would not have been on the board of the New York Stock Exchange. She thought, like all of the Clintonistas think, that she was above the law.

If her name was Martha Jones and she was a mid-management nothing she would have never been charged.

The justice department has prosecuted 800 cases of corporate corruption in the last four years.

So in reality, if her name was Martha Jones, she WOULD have been prosecuted.

It just would not make the headlines.

[rwfromkansas]

She lied, which is why she is going to prison.

The sentence is reasonable. I don't think she really deserves any more.

Except that her name is NOT Martha Jones, and she is NOT mid management....... She knew her stock was taking a nose dive and acted accordingly. Her investors did not know, and their INVESTMENT took a nose dive.
