Is that a gun on your desk, Andy, or are just happy I commented?
What’s the thinking here?
Otherwise, 41 months for Chuck Wright; and about the same sentence 14 years ago for Attorney Richard Breibart; but 40 years for Alex Murdaugh. What is the difference in the crimes that could possibly explain a 12-fold difference in the sentences?

If he can come up with a million dollars or so, he can always get a pardon from Trump.

The waste, fraud, and abuse is coming from within the Republican Party! Shocking! Same with Ken Paxton and voter fraud! Dude didn’t know you can only do the grifting and criming if you are part of the Trump family and close friends.

Hey Fanchy, do you ever wonder what happened to your career that you ended up in this dump? Be best!!!

Hey Chuckie how is Amos and LB doing? I bet they tightened up after you got your ass handed to you yesterday. LOL! Tomorrow is their big day and hopefully those two POS get the book thrown at them just like you did. You let all that power go to your head and betrayed the publics trust. You got what you deserve. I suggest that in the coming days you study the FCI Admissions and Orientation Handbook. Remember that when you play stupid games you win stupid prizes. LOL

I am glad to see the Federal court take something seriously since it is not always the case at the state level. Now move on to other counties I am sure there is lots more to uncover.
