In less than a year, we've seen a democrat US Representative crash his car into a barricade while drunk, narrowly missing a police cruiser, and we've seen another democrat Representative assault a police officer because she thought she was too important to show proper ID at a security checkpoint. In both cases, nothing whatsoever happened to either of them legally - FGS, the cops gave Kennedy a ride home!
If democrat representatives can get away with that kind of stuff, I'm sure a democrat senator will have no problem making a gun charge go away.
Sadly you are right...NOTHING will happen to either of them past a slap on the wrist for Thompson.
