He was not honest. He repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and even just a month ago his wife was claiming she should have half the proceeds the mansion sale because she was not implicated. Where did she think her jewelery and all the furniture for the 8000 square foot house was coming from? Thank heavens with such moral denseness she is now retired from the school district.

duh, he broke the law and deserves what he gets. I meant comparatively, eventually admitting to the judge that he took bribes. Most pols take bribes but never admit it no matter how red-handed they are caught doing so. Anybody who has ever looked at how congress works can see particular votes by run of the mill congressmen are sold for figures as low as $500, ranging up to $5000 for important committee chairs and the like. When the total has three extra zeros they occasionally get caught. Most just string together tens to hundreds of payments (from different interested parties rather than one) for each of tens to hundreds of votes. Everyone knows the Clinton coffees were six figure bribes. Etc.
