I have a question.why is Teresa Giudice going to prison today and this little Obama pimp is not..He owes 4million in back taxes and no telling how many laws he has broken he is one of the MORON OBAMAS right hand stooge..
I am sure most of you who know who Teresa Giudice is could care less what happens to her but I do..It makes me so mad that the pimp gets away with stealing money but this woman listened to her husband and signed papers she did not know would send her to jail..
but this woman listened to her husband and signed papers she did not know would send her to jail..
She tried that excuse, she fully knew what was going on, and she benefited by her actions while those who she and her husband stole from will probably never recoup their losses, including lawyers who represented her.
She is now suing her lawyers, saying again that she didn’t understand her plea agreement.Really?

She hid assets twice and got caught.Now she is going to prison, which she fully deserves.
