It is about time something like this happened. Try him and put him in jail.

This is obviously a result of the man keeping a brother down.

But can prosecutor get a unanimous jury decision if it goes to trial?

There is that issue of a Federal crime out there, though.

That's not the best way to wake up in the morning. That 5:30 a.m. knock at the door.

Am guessing it was preceded by a phone call from his attorney.

The SCOTUS will undoubtedly rule, 5-4, that black or Hispanic homosexuals are not subject to prosecution for any acts performed with the intent to incite the public against conservatives.

Not likely, still chilling in a cell right now though.

More likely he got a limo ride to the cop shop.

Funny; the Chicago PD show a stock picture of a white person in cuffs for the announcement of this arrest which is all about false depiction of ethnicity.

These people cause hate crimes; I don’t see how a juror of any race sympathizes with him. He makes matters worse for blacks AND whites; nobody but a small group of radical blactivists supports him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Even if a jury doesn’t reach a verdict the fraud will still be exposed to the world.

We all knew it was fake from the beginning, now the rest of the people can figure it out.

In order for this story to disappear, expect non stop Russia Russia Russia for a few days on the “news” shows.

We don’t know that he’s in a cell. He could be sitting in someone’s office for all we know. Getting served a nice brekkie and waited on hand and foot.

He might stay in jail just to drop the soap.
