....... Hall said. "I am an honest woman. I have a longstanding reputation as a public official. Never before has anyone accused me of having ghost payrollers."

These three statements just don't seem to go together. Honest, longstanding public officials do exist, I guess, but every crook has a first accusation and indictment.

"Our prayers are with the family," [Gary Mayor Scott King] said.

Wonder what he's praying for?

In all, Katie Hall faces up to 115 years in prison and $2 million in fines if convicted, while Junifer Hall faces the same penalty and up to five more years in prison and a $250,000 fine on each perjury count. They are scheduled to be arraigned on May 29.

I thought perjury was legal. The former POTUS certainly thought it was, and so did the news media.

It has been common practice for Democrats to demand kick backs for government jobs.

50 years ago all State employees in ohio who were political appointees were requried to donate 10 percent of their paycheck to the Ohio Democratic party when a Democrat was governor.

Today the corruption is less open but no less frequent. Today employees are forced to donate in less provable ways. Fake employees have been a tried and true method since Tammny Hall ran New York.

What this more likely tells you is that this is one Democrat who has crossed another more powerful Democrat.

Corruption in Democratic administrations of Cities, States and the Nation are the rule ... not the exception. When one is caught and punished, it is usually because the person caught ticked off a powerful Democrat. Every once in a while higher ups teach lower level Democrats a lesson about who really is boss. That may be the case in this scandal.
