..Look to post # 16, Republican Values.."not getting caught"

[Stuart G]

Original post is about Chris Collins, NY former congressman, getting caught using information he got through his job to enrich himself and his son. (through inside stock information)

Lucky Luciano states in post 16, true Republican values of Trump and Chris Collins,....."not getting caught"

Chris Collins got caught on a stock deal...26 months in prison.
Donald Trump got caught on trying to get info on opponent illegally...(paying someone)
.............................................................impeachment.............

Deep down, neither thought they would never get caught, but they did. These two thought they would ..."get away with it."....just like any common crook, but they got caught.

What do you know?...Crooks get caught. Nothing new.

Post 16 is at the link below:

1. I found this unbelievable

They don't give a flying fuck about right and wrong. You are right. He was crying because he got caught

Chris Collins cried so hard that many of his words got lost in his anguish.

But that act of contrition only meant so much to U.S. District Court Judge Vernon S. Broderick, who on Friday sentenced Collins to 26 months in prison for launching an insider trading scheme with a call to his son from a White House picnic in June 2017.

When Collins, 69, walked out of the courtroom, it signaled the stunning end of a public life that saw him become a wealthy entrepreneur, the Erie County executive and a member of Congress who was an early and close ally of Donald Trump.

On Friday, his power stripped and his career ended, Collins awaited his fate. And as emotionless as Collins was passionate, Broderick explained his sentence with boilerplate language like that used by judges in every court, for every offense.

"I do believe there is a need to both show respect for the law and to inflict just punishment," the judge said. "And I do agree there is a need for general deterrence."

2. Thank You for your post..It describes the crime so well, and the punishment so well..And this is

totally honest: "He was crying because he got caught" A crook is still a crook, is still a crook. The judge treated him like the crook he is.
