God, do I miss George Carlin! The man was not only funny, but brilliant.

As for why Harry Reed isn't in jail, I've been asking the same thing for years! Why isn't anybody looking at this guy? But then he had the graciousness to retire, and now, as Carlin says, no one cares!

And Congress is exempt from insider trading! What a surprise! God only knows what they AREN'T exempt from!

Phil Mickelson denies helping gambler Billy Walters get commuted sentence from Donald Trump

---

Donald Trump's White House said that Phil Mickelson was one of several who sponsored the move to commute Billy Walters' sentence.

Maybe coming back to bite at him a little. He was named, along with Harmon, Feherty, and peter jacobsen as those who vouched for Walters for his release on the former president’s last day. His lawyer denied everything.

I dunno. If you get off, but think your friend should have also gotten off, what's the risk in vouching for him?

From Phil's perspective, I mean?

 The Feds have been protecting Mickelson all along. They didn't go after him for the Billy Walters insider trading deal, and they didn't go after him for the gambling debt payoff (~$3M). There is a rumor as to why, but I can't confirm it so won't repeat it here. Bottom line is Smiley McGambler can pretty much do what he wants and let others take the hit for him. 🙃

Then why mention it?

I have heard a lot of things about you. Some actually quite horrific. I can't confirm them, so I won't repeat them. Does that sound fair?

Lots of interesting stuff about what a relief defendant is.  From the description of what happened, and the info in this article, I'm in the 'he's lucky to not be in jail' camp.
