More likely the crook wasn’t greasing the right palms at the DOJ.
Birmingham, Charlotte, Detroit, New Orleans, Washington, DC, etc, etc, etc....What is similar about these cities?
Ok the guy is a crook but a 4 year investigation? How much did that cost?
Melowese Richardson who was convicted of Voter Fraud and released early from a five year prison sentence is hugged by Rev. Al Sharton as he joins State Representative Alicia Reece to kick off the petition drive for Ohio Vote at Word of God Deliverance Family Life Center in Forest Park.
has posted bail, and been release pending court.
The Racist Chinese guy Yee is LONG LONG overdue.
And it appears like a long term investigation.
But mainstream Democrats - Black Democrats - are all mad at Asians in California because they oppose Affirmative Action...since it no longer benefits Asians.
This happened over the last week. Chinese politicians were inundated with complaints about a state Assembly bill that would have overturned Prop. 209, so they opposed it.
From the article, “He is the region’s highest-ranking official to be charged in a corruption case since former N.C. House speaker Jim Black of Matthews was charged. Both are Democrats.”
How much did it cost? Who tried to derail it while it was trying to gain traction is more like it.
If found guilty could receive ten years.
Is “Corrupt minority democrat politician” a redundancy?
Or just a “given”?
He won’t have a hard time at all.
The Man is just keeping him down. Everyone does it.
Wow, black, and a Demwit, from North Carolina? What did he do to piss off Holder and Zero? Thanks Robe.
