For defrauding the Commonwealth, or should I (expletive) in one hand?

If you look at the microphone stand...

... this would appear to be an organized press event rather than paparazzi mobbing someone.

I wish Carmen Ortiz would

I wish Carmen Ortiz would lock up all the other politicans that were involved in the Probation Scandal.

Shakes down a Burlington Software company for $60k, goes to Federal Prison all just for $60k..

Sal Stole WAY More than $66K

By Aeroguy on Wed, 11/23/2016 - 4:29pm.

Sal DiMasi did not get an 8 (eight) year sentence for stealing $66K. If he was just a bookkeeper embezzling $66K, he would have gotten a much lighter sentence.

He got eight years for being a lawyer who stole $66K from the public.
He got eight years for being a state legislature who stole $66K.
He got eight years for being the Speaker of the Mass. House of Representatives who stole $66K.
He got eight years for being the third consecutive Speaker of the Mass. House who was convicted of a federal crime.
He got eight years for using his high office to cause the legislature to pass, and the governor to sign, a bill that would pay him a monthly bribe.
Most of all, he got eight years for contributing to the public perception that the 'system is rigged'.

Not to be insensitive

Not to be insensitive: I believe the courts made the right decision, however I feel in campassion cancer case or similar health cases such as this, if the person's health goes it remission and the person's regains their health; they should be returned to finish their jail time or a modified term. But not totally free.
