Now let's investigate the NV AG

[Menehune56]

No mention of his political party affiliation: democrat. Shocker.

[Steely Tom]

Not one mention of party affiliation in source story.

[Cementjungle]

Dem of course

[rktman]

Party? I know I needn’t ask. On 7/28 there is supposedly a recall sisolack rally in Reno.

[arrogantsob]

A corrupt black Demon?? Can’t be.

[NativeSon]

Black blt sandwich? must be a slave holdin, plantation ownin, ordained by tha Lord Whitey!

[Cementjungle]

He’s best friends with my neighbor, the now AG. The AG’s kid just got busted for domestic abuse a couple weeks ago.

“Regretfully it has been discovered that I have used campaign donations for personal use. Thus I will be accepting the blame for this”

He only regrets being caught! And that’s the only reason he is taking the blame!

Now that is one crazy quote!!

Now that is one crazy quote!!

At least he's honest about it.
Better than the "I've never done anything like that before and never would again. I was taking some strong cold medicine" apology.

[1FreeAmerican]

“black LGBTQ” - should fit right in in prison.

[grumpygresh]

Let’s be like China and execute everybody. We need tougher sentences for especially white collar crime. Now police state agents and prosecutors must be exempt from almost all but the most egregious offenses.

[Ann Archy]

E mbrace the SUCK, NEVADA!!

[Ex gun maker.]

Another feculent gun grabber going to prison!
Seems to be a pattern or two here.
Too bad they are unsure of the exact amount, might have gotten more time.
Please note that the fine is a fraction of what was misused.
So crime does pay if you don’t mind a little time behind bars.
Need I point out the reasons he will be released very early?

[Midwesterner53]

He had so much going for him too, black, queer. If only he could have been Muslim too........

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Too bad for him that he's not from Somalia, then he could get away with it.
 

[PGalt]

Thanks for posting. ‘Rat corruption? C’mon. Drain. Ocean.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

"Thus I will be accepting the blame for this”

Because he can't find anyone else to blame.
