    While I’m all for making an example out of corrupt politicians, this guy got targeted for $4k, while a pedophile is grifting billions. He’s not straight, rich and White, so it makes sense.

    The law only applies to those who aren’t of the privileged capital class.

      Allegations of misusing $4,000. I’m not clicking a New York Post link to find out more but it doesn’t seem like he’s been convicted of anything.

      We had that happen to a young mayor in Texas and he was white and 21. He was using city supplies and funds for his private newspaper.
