John Wiley Price Finally arrested!

[Back N Black]

Anyone think Jessie Jackson or Sharpton going to get involved?

[mustang_revival]

They gave him 33 years

[Trip McNeely]

Don't worry Bummer will take care of his brethren. Him and Nagan and every other dirty politician will get pardoned by his imperial highness.

Who are you talking about?

[talisman]

The federal judge is hispanic and was appointed by Obama, the race card might be out of order on this one.

Obviously you haven't been on FB yet today.

[soap]

About goddamn time.

Yup.

[roliath]

Damn they got his assistant too.

Price’s longtime executive assistant, and political consultant Kathy Nealy also were arrested
This is potentially much more interesting. JWP was obviously corrupt but someone was buying what he was selling (Cough Cough Perots Cough Cough) and Nealy was/is incredibly connected, hopefully they are going after bigger fish.

[bcoop]

You live close enough to know the scope of this mess. Kathy Nealy has ties to bigger fish, they want evidence against her and anyone she's taken money from.

I really haven't looked in to the details of all this, or kept up with it. I did just read a long ass article from DMN. LOL at the fact that one of the FBI agents working on this, is the same guy that took down Al Lipscomb for accepting bribes from a cab company, Nick Rizos (Caligula, The Lodge, Stratos), and others.

Why is it what when people come into power they them selves become corrupt?

It's hard to turn down free stuff when all they are asking you to do is your job and be their friend. It goes from having a "buddy" paying your tab at a bar for letting him know about an upcoming project to getting to use their suite at the AAC for letting them know who else is bidding. Then when you tell them what to bid you get to use their Bentley and live in their mansion.

Then before you know it you have an entire district that blindly votes for whatever you tell them. You have so much free stuff coming in you have to launder it through a bunch of antique stores and car washes. Then you hook up with guys that own strip clubs, vending companies, bingo parlors, etc... It turns into an organized mass of corruption. Some people can keep it running and others go to prison.

Well shit. Didn't think before posting that, lack of sleep this week.

Just heard a co-worker blurt it out who usually has good info.

It's really not if you have scruples, I've been turned down for simply picking up the lunch tab as many times as I've offered. The state of California has laws about this very thing, and everyone I've been in contact with, in the 5 years I've been out here, abides by them.

[jammeejamm]

that is because you are throwing enough money their way.
