Ping. Likely, the next news out of Milwaukee on this will be an announcement that the charges have been plea-bargained all the way out of the court system.
Hmm.
Too many snails in garlic and frogs legs au gratin.
My latest NRA magazine issue mentioned a tiny "$12,000" fine given to a leftist gun-control group which had misused funds to support a Democrat's political campaign.
What's horrifying is that these very low fines are a small and reasonable "price" to pay, in the minds of these lawbreakers, in order to get someone into office who will pass favorable regulations & steer millions of dollars their way, to help their pesky leftist cause.
These people can do the math. they're are no doubt laughing all the way to the court when they return to pay their fine. The violation got the job done; that's all that matters. They couldn't care less if they broke the law, as long as the penalties are fiscally light compared to the huge political benefits that they''l reap. It's really nauseating
We need to increase fines for these types of overtly political crimes -- and perhaps invalidate the resulting election outcome. Where there's smoke there's fire; I'm sure the ones we catch are only the tip of the iceberg. One wonders how many other illegal contributions were made & cars engines were tampered with in order to manipulate the outcome of any given election on the margin. Local politicians...eventually become national ones. That's why this unlawful activity is so evil and unfair.
Typical of the connected to get away with this crap. Rats get away with it more often.
