"Rosen, 38, had pleaded not guilty to three counts"


I hate how the media writes this - as if Rosen is saying he's not guilty. Why can't the media explain that when a person is charged with a crime .. they are required to enter a PLEA - the plea is "guilty" - NO TRIAL .. however if the plea is "not guilty - THEY GET A TRIAL BY JURY. So even the worst criminal can enter a plea of "not guilty" and take their chances with a jury trial instead of having a judge impose a sentence.

The "PLEA" has nothing whatsoever to do with the guilt or innocense of the person being charged. I wish the media would clarify this because the way they explain it is so deceptive.

Hillary has lots of experience: Travelgate, Whitewatergate,
Missing File Gate, Fostergate, Monicagate etc. She probably has this gate locked too!
