"The investigation and the trial has been the most disappointing event in my now 60-year life,"

"I've helped tens of millions of people and that has nothing to do with the fact that I have been found on the wrong side of these questions by a jury."

Me, me, me, it's all about me. Classic sociopath.

#3 Interesting we know the affiliation of the La. guy in the slammer for 13 years, and we know (at the link) the guy who defeated Fattah in the primary is a (D), but no mention made of Fattah's party. I guess, being from Philly and all, it's understood.

However, unlike many others, he resigned immediately after his indictment. Oops. Sorry, after his conviction he resigned. Wikipedia

#7 Anyone notice the near complete MSM blackout of this story?

Yeah. It's part of a very big story about how philthy, detoilet, Austin, Minneapolis and a lot of other big cities did not deliver the goods for swillary. It's a big, behind the scenes autopsy and the results will not be made public...

Concur, to a point. Mr. Obama still needs to maintain the support of a given 'demographic' post-presidency.

#11 That moniker, Chaka Fattah?
Queen Mother Falaka! Guffaw.
She must've been desperate
To keep her son separate:
The squawk of an angry macaw.
