#9 It looks like making Public arrests BEFORE the election is the disguise they want to portray, "LOOK, LOOK, SEE WE GOT THEM, VOTE US NOT THEM, a vote Democratic is a CLEAN vote. (To quote a very old slogan "DON'T YOU BELIEVE IT")

#10 I wondered when I would read that he was a democrat--it was the fifth paragraph (short paragraphs too). It was a stunning fall for the 47-year-old Democrat who had risen from the city's public housing projects to become a successful businessman and politician.

Not so stunning; rather more like "to be expected from the corruptacrat party." What Oldspook said also.

#11 The democratic party has run unchecked internally, and protected by the liberal media for years now. The corruption is so rampant that its easy pickings for the FBI. Community organizers are usually tied to unions and their corruption goes to the core of their existence. Our president packages his corruption poorly and is defiant of the law. The Obama care waivers to the unions, the SEIU, are a couple of examples of blatant involvement in corrupt practices. The rest of the party, running unchecked by the media, are flamboyant in their corruption and outright lies made on the record in congress and in public. They are one step away from fascism...

#12 I'm waiting for the next round, where it involves unexplained deaths like self-inflicted gunshot wounds, automobile accidents, drowning, accidental overdoses...

#13 Tip to all the Dims recently arrested:

If the feds offer you a ride to Ft. Marcy Park, RUN IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.

Just sayin' . . . .

#14 Barbara, this is just battlespace preparation. By November, this will all be old news. Watch for a series of corruption charges against Republican office holders and candidates (if possible) in September - October.
