I'm pretty sure he thought he had a permanent get out of jail card that went so high up beyond Sutton-fong it could never be revoked.
Judging by that photo and the moving coverage of him I saw on TV, he's just figured out the game's up. He'll probably never understand the real reason: We the People elect pols to govern for US. We the People ARE the government. Our elected misrepresentatives think THEY are, but they're not!
We the People reminded them of that over the Shamnesty issue. Yes, they're still trying to slip it through bit by bit, but we're standing up to them on that too and it looks like they have at least understood that they CANNOT jam it down our throats. The harder they try, the more people turn against them.
This scummy little drug dealer will be thrown under the bus. There will be an effort to protect the higher ranking scumbag sutton-fong, but ultimately he will go under the bus as well. At least I hope so even if the purge of corrupt traitors will almost certainly remain incomplete.
The “people” have a tremendous amount if power IF THEY USE IT.
Most non-presidential elections have abysmal turnouts.
How many people attend their local party events and get involved? Very few. Then they bitch about who is running for office.
People need to get informed on the issues and get involved at the grassroots level. That is if they want to have an effect.
My bottom line opinion is that most people are content to complain, but not get involved.
