Since when does solicitation = "involvement in a prostitution ring"? |
|
:wtf:
Does the wording there not imply that he had a hand in the management of / profiting from the ring?
This is ridiculous, even by the corporate clown media's own corrupt-as-hell standards!

2. I think the wording of it was incredibly misleading... |
|
Incredibly. I've come to expect it though.
If they had stated it as it was it would be bad enough.

17. Me too. I was actually shocked with "being involved" meant he just hired a hooker. |
|
...and it's good to know that the feds are so tied up with tracking down terrorists...

3. I think it's ludicrous, too. He paid for sex; big deal. It should be |
|
between him and his wife, not the country. But he has lots of enemies who are gleeful.

8. It's okay for prosecutors to break the laws at night they enforce in the day? |
|
If you found out that a prosecutor was a cocaine dealer would that be ok with you?

10. No, because cocaine is illegal; sex isn't. Put it this way; |
|
to me, it's a pretty minor infraction; they're talking misdemeanor? So charge him for being a john, but it seems to me the m$m is blowing it wildly out of proportion.

16. They are. He not only went after hookers and johns, he |
|
went after the holy thieves on Wall Street. They're indecently gleeful about this. Never mind the Wall Street thieves were costing them a fortune, any guy in a fancy Italian suit gets a pass from the media whores.
This whole thing is ridiculous, but it's about all we can ever expect from a nanny state and from the men who enforce it.

4. Well, he was mailing them large packages of money |
|
It's more than solicitation. There's mail fraud and conspiracy at the very least.
