  1. The purpose for the fine was NOT punishment; it provides a shield against further criminal charges.

  2.  James Bell  Not at all, but she's the one receiving the benefit.

  3. High crimes and misdemeanors barely ripple the Democrat pond.

  4. It not only establishes guilt, but it settles the matter as far as the government filing charges would go. Her pals did her a solid.

  5.  Freedomfighterdon’tfuckwithme  It still carries the death penalty. It's the only crime defined in The Constitution and the bar is set VERY high to convict. People usually get other serious charges.

  6. Some criminal offenses do indeed carry fines. She was fined by her friends so that double jeopardy will prevent any real consequences. It's all corrupt.

  7. She wanted to see fines and not jail; guess who has more juice?

  8. Her pals dared not go lower, but it DID serve to pre-empt further criminal action for this incident. The dice have always been loaded.

  9. Giving the fine was a way to do an end-run and pre-empt criminal charges for the illegal acts. If you are hoping for justice, the DOJ is not going to deliver. Yes, they are laughing at us.

  10.  @mcmc7746  When did the military start court martialing civilians? Even Axis Sally was indicted by the DOJ and tried in federal court.

  11.  @mcmc7746  And yet, it is still the DOJ. The FBI has jurisdiction over corruption in politics.

  12.  @mcmc7746  Someone told you that we are under martial law? Or are you desperately clinging to a Civil War era exception to the rule of law? Keep at it, but its still not the job of the military to try civilian cases, in THIS universe; the one without martial law. The real world.
