He’ll be out in a couple years and get elected again.

The socialism didn’t help but having a kleptocrat at the top just kicked the destruction into overdrive.

If his political party affiliation was mentioned in that article, I missed it.

Theres no parole in Federal prison I think you have to serve at least 85% of your sentence.
However, there's always the purple-lipped pardon route.

Kwame could have been purer than Caesar’s wife and Detroit would still have gone belly up. Lots of others contributed and over a long period of time: elected officials, public leeches, all added to the mess that is Detroit.

I don’t see a pardon in Kwame’s future. He backed Hillary Clinton.

Hell be out in a couple years and get elected againFirst he needs to get videotaped smoking crack with a whore. Like the Mayor of DC, who then got re-elected by that city's "where's my free sh**?" Democrats.

Dave Bing isn’t corrupt and actually could have done some good but he’s just too old and feeble for the fight.

I dont see a pardon in Kwames future. He backed Hillary Clinton. Yeah, but there could be another factor at work.
Hmm. It'll be interesting to see which factor wins out.

Kwame gets 28 years, he will be out in 4 and we will be stuck with the bill.

There is a certain animosity between Detroit politicians and Obama. Even John Conyers has been fairly aggressive with Bammy.
