Once credit cards became the norm in the 1990s....it’s hard for any political figure to hide his illicit spending. You need to do this corrupt stuff strictly in cash, and avoid every showing a trail. As for his prison sentence? He’ll spend eighteen months at best in some fed prison, and get out to enjoy his pension deal with the government eventually.

The very fact that he got caught means he stepped on someone’s toes that didn’t take kindly to it. He’s lucky he didn’t end up in the horse processing plant...

This seems like the perfect House seat for Chelsea Clinton-Mezvinsky to begin her trip to the top. Followed by Malia Obama-Shabazz in 12 yrs or so.

With this admittance of his, sounds like he is vying for some toplevel position within the Regime. Anybody have any idea what it might be? Secretary of Treasury? Commerce? What?

I actually feel sorry for the kid now. His life is in ruins and you have got to believe that Sandy is beating him over the head every time the story about that $43,000 watch comes up.
Maybe JJjr would like a year in the can til the heat dies down with the bride.

This is all well and good but, personally, I tend to think a candidate should be
legally (not ethically) free to do whatever he pleases with the donations given by supporters. If his donors don't like what he's doing, they can stop donating.
In other words, caveat emptor!
Down with the nanny state.

... fur coats, airplane tickets, a $43,000 Rolex watch, celebrity memorabilia, booze, cigars, and even groceries.The other stuff I can see as legitimate campaign expenses but groceries is a bridge to far.

I pity the poor rubes that gave money to this pr_ck so he could go out and buy a $40,000 wristwatch and $700,000 worth of other loot.
Criminal democrats have been in the news all week. Shooting cops, hiring underage hookers, stealing money, etc.
None of these losers have any type of moral compass whatsoever.
