I didn’t go to law school but I know that much about it.

“If reimbursement is a crime, then how could you give money to your wife, or your children, after they’d donated to a presidential campaign?” he asked rhetorically. “But nobody’s ever been prosecuted successfully for that, because it’s not a crime. They made up a law!”

Hmm, did he just admit that he gave money to other people so they would donate said money to a candidate? Isn’t that exactly what he is charged with? Did he just confess?

I got a jury questionnaire recently and now my dream is to be seated in the box at his inquisition. Oh, that and hitting the $200-plus million Mega Millions lottery game.
