Mogilevich, had been indicted three years earlier by the department on charges of defrauding a company outside Philadelphia out of $150 million and could not travel for fear of arrest.

“It’s laughably ridiculous, and we get a daily, steady stream of this crap from “the paper of record.”

And they hire genocide promoting white bigots without apology too.

Pure insanity. You can’t make this sh*t up. What is the NYT going to say when this slime-ball is frog-marched out of DOJ?
