Sorry, I'm flagging you for a Bull $h!+ comment. No fukking way is this a "white collar" crime. Next, you'll be telling me that it's a "victimless" crime, which would be just as much BS.
Drug dealing and money laundering in the course thereof are definitely not victimless, but Piper Kerman, author of “Orange is the New Black”, received treatment very similar to what Weiner is getting. Neither’s crime was victimless.
