If Duke had a "D" next to his name, no one would be talking about this. Call me cynical, but I have a feeling it never would have been investigated at all. You can't tell me that people like Pelosi and Murtha haven't taken plenty of "gifts" from left-wing interest groups. It's just that the left is much more aggressive about investigating and prosecuting. If the right has as mucn interest in litigating as the left does, believe me, 2/3 of the Democrats in Congress would be behind bars. Lucky for them, we're too busy winning elections to waste our time going through their dirty laundry.
This guy is just an old codger that tried to flip a house. The company he was involved with was a front for 'Rent a mercenary'. He wouldn't go along with something so they taught him a lesson
