Just another crook who also happened to run for President of the United States on the Democratic ticket, What’s the big deal

[Cagey]

I’ve thought this Charlatan would fall before but it never seems to happen. I won’t hold my breath this time.

[BallyBill]

I've heard of this tape before. The MSM doesn't want to get involved.

Now if he out up a sign asking people to "PLEASE" speak English, it might make the news.

[Dr. Sivana]

I guess Sharpton can be clean and articulate when he has to be.

[Popman]

The FBI-IRS probe resurfaced publicly Wednesday, when Sharpton aides received subpoenas.

Stick a fork in Al, he is done.

Don't screw with the IRS.

I just hope the FBI doesn't screw up the IRS case

[Calpernia]

I can’t wait to see how many others will get implicated during this Sharpton investigation.

For a ‘Rat, this is resume enhancement ........

Sharpton offered to help Philadelphia fund-raiser Ronald A. White win a multimillion-dollar business deal, if White helped him raise $50,000 for politics.

White offered $25,000. "If you bring my guys up on this hedge fund, and I have the right conversation," White said, "I'll give you what you need."

I know what the terms "conversation", "hedge fund" and "multimillion-dollar business deal" mean, and I carry no water for Sharpton. But if this is the "gotcha!" quote, my response as a juror would be, "Huh?".

[tlb]

“”In an interview yesterday, Sharpton said there is “absolutely nothing illegal” about tying business deals to fund-raising because he is not a public official. “The tapes vindicate me,” Sharpton said. “They show that I did not talk about bribing a public official or paying money under the table.” “

That was my thought as I read the thread excerpt. Looking at the linked story I’m still unclear precisely what they suggest he did illegally. Sharpton had no fiduciary responsibility I can see.

[Chode]

do I really have to say it???

[econjack]

When will the MSM learn that Al's no reverend? He never went to college, never went to seminary school, never had his own church or congregation. He was "ordained" by a preacher in Washington, DC at age 10. He is a walking insult to those who earned the title.

Oh, and BTW, Jesse Jackson has not earned that title, either.

[musicman]

Videotape shows Sharpton cutting a deal (Smoking Gun !!!!)

[uncbob]

Curiously this is being run in the Inquirer

Maybe the new owner is making a difference

[uncbob]

Of the investigation, Sharpton predicted, "It went nowhere three years ago and it's going nowhere now."

Al knows the fix is in?

[peyton randolph]

What are the odds of a New York, Philadelphia, or D.C. jury (likely sources for venue) actually convicting Sharpton of anything? He’ll blame it on The Man...and jury nullification will kick in for acquittal.

[DemEater]

“In an interview yesterday, Sharpton said there is “absolutely nothing illegal” about tying business deals to fund-raising because he is not a public official.”

Isn’t this true?

Of course that doesn’t mean that the other issues he is being investigated for (tax evasion and campaign finance violations) aren’t legit.

[SkyPilot]

I am sick and tired of this #$%^!

The man is guilty as sin - and should go to prison.

Let it be a message to corrupt Democrats everywhere.

Yeah - pay with a hefty prison sentence.

The following excerpt from the article shows that Sharpton is hedging his bets by implying that IF the tapes are incriminating, it's because they were edited to appear that way. He's also, tying the investigation into his activities surrounding the Jena situation, ensuring that if he is charged, there will be riots. He's human slime, plain and simple.

"You can make tapes sound like whatever you want," he said, "but the timing of this is ridiculous."

Sharpton was referring to his recent protests and commentary about the racial controversy in Jena, La., involving six black teenagers accused of beating a white classmate.

"This is government harassment," he said. "I knew this investigation would come back when we started the Jena protests."

“The bitch set me up.”

Someone please send this to Chris Matthews. Matthews thinks Sharpton is erudite. Tells you all you need to know about Chris.
