This should be a message to crooked lawmakers. This guy was the epitome of what being a top American is supposed to be and fucked it all up taking bribes. Maybe he didn't pay off enough people or maybe someone didn't wanna pay him more loot but he had it all and now is fucked. The maximum he can get is 10 years but at 64 years old that's a death sentence.
He's man enough though to say he's ready to do his bid.
