Discussion: Ex-Congresswoman Seeks New Trial After Fraud Conviction

Hey, maybe she can get a job at the Eric Trump Foundation.

I don’t know why this is even newsworthy. These motions are filed in about 100% of convictions, and denied about 100% of the time.

It’s kind of like reporting that the defendant continues to assert her innocence. What a shock!

She will change her name to trump and bleach her skin, and everyone will wonder what the fuss was.

Doesn’t she know the script for this?

It goes strong denials, half-hearted denials, tearful admission, revelation of a deeply personal issue like drug or gambling addiction, sequestration at an expensive rehab clinic (extra points if this rehab is known for hosting celebrities), “find Jesus,” “reconnect with your family” then throw yourself on the mercy of the court.

That’s assuming, of course, that you’re guilty, and there’s ample proof – and at this point I am assuming she is, and there is.

In which case she’s just digging herself a deeper hole. And you know what? That’s fine, seems like she probably deserves a pretty deep hole.

Even TPM gets sucked into that vortex on occasion.

Currpt liberals are more dipicable than corrupt conservatives. Currpt liberals do harm to a good cause.
