Abramoff did prison time a decade ago on notorious Bush-era corruption charges

He’s dumb as fucking dirt, but persistent, I’ll give him that much.

And since he’s a repeat offender shouldn’t his sentence be 25% longer than if this was his first offense?

Whoever gets ripped off by Jack Abramoff deserves it, and should be given a prison term for stupidity. The man is the most famous crook in Washington and people still wants to do business with him? All they had to do was google him.

No different than the former governor of Connecticut, one John Rowland. He served time in 2006 for various fraud charges, serving 14 months’ time, and then was damned dumb enough to commit different fraud charges in 2014 and do another stint in prison for 30 months.

I guess some idiots never learn, but I think these two (Rowland and Abramoff) went to the same academy, or something.

Every single fucking Republican is corrupt to the core. To paraphrase Trumpy: “The only good Republican is a dead Republican”.

How is it that Abramoff never got nominated by Comb-over Caligula to head up the SEC or Treasury?

Better hurry up and get sentenced Jack so you can get your bad actor pardon from Trump.
