Scooter gets to slide.

Tracy deserves to pay a price for what she did; I am NOT arguing that point.

But isn't there something just fundamentally WRONG when cooking the books of some essentially worthless polls gets you over two years in the clink, but lying your country into a war gets you...a FINE, and that's ALL?

Something's broken here.

3. Redstone...yes something is broken and it's that there are
two legal systems in this country..

OJ murders his ex wife and an innocent man and walks...

Scooter commits Treason and is patted on the back by *

17 year old black HS boy in Ga get thrown in jail for having oral sex with a 15 year old HS girl and gets 20 years...The courts ruled that the sentence was excessive and he should be released...he is still in jail..

The ordinary man gets thrown under the jail the rich get to go their country clubs after court...

4. I'm not letting the fact that I had a romantic relationship with her color my judgment, really,
becase that's long past and gone.

She needs to pay for the fuckups she did, especially the part about not filing for Income Taxes. We ALL know how important it is to do that, those of us who own businesses.

But two and a quarter years, when Scooter skates?

Seems kind of unfair, doean't it?

6. Absolutely unfair...
She did not commit Treason however....and she is paying the price.

Libby committed Treason along with Several other WH officials in a time of war and they should suffer the fate of others that committed Treason.....
