Grammy-winning singer Lauryn Hill was sentenced Monday to three months in prison and an additional three months in home confinement for failing to pay taxes on about $1 million in earnings.

Hill, a 37-year-old South Orange resident, pleaded guilty last year in the case.

By the way, Wesley Snipes got 3 years for tax evasion.

Just sayin'.

An inner-city black kid would get 5 years on the gun charge.

The absolute zenith of the white patriarchy... Where's the race baiters?

He got three years for being black.

Welcome to America. Home of the free? More like home of racism.

I've already done the orange is the new black joke on more than one occasion.

Still,

I guess we do have systemic racism after all.

I mentioned Wesley Snipes and Lauren Hill.

Here's another story of laws being enforced:

tl;dr version:

Guy shoots and kills a man who attacked him. He's being prosecuted, not for the killing, which was justified, but for improper registration of his firearms.

Fire-ARMS - police searched his apartment and found that the guns were unlicensed.

BTW, see where Huhter's lawyer said the laptop was never mentioned in discussions?

Why should it? FBI's only had it for four years. It's old news...

Actually, he said he "doesn't recall" if it was mentioned. That's different.

[Jon]

If the investigation is ongoing presumably that has to do with the contents of the laptop.

Grassley not happy...

[Jon]

If the investigation is ongoing then presumably it now is focused on all the stuff he's going on about.

[Jolly]

Dude, the investigation is ongoing into a circular file.

I'd be surprised if it wasn't. It's what our vaunted DOJ has become.

[Jon]

Seems highly unlikely that the Trump appointee would do that or let it be done to him without quitting publicly.

On the other hand, to thoroughly exhaust every lead on several years (decades?) worth of a professional name-grifter’s email does seem like it would take an awfully long time, especially all the international interactions.

[Jolly]

Highly unlikely is a common occurrence in The Swamp.

[Jon]

So you've been told.

[Jolly]

Nope, just a lifetime of Louisiana politics.

[Jon]

So tell me your theory of the case. Why would David Weiss, Trump's pick for US Attorney in Delaware, do the Biden's bidding?

“We heard”. Can you be more specific?

Seems like she could be be disbarred and perhaps prosecuted if they have real evidence.
