Kraft Not The Only Billionaire Involved

Billions in the bank and he still gets $60 hand jobs?

But this Childs fella isn't always so cheap...
He donated about $4.3 million to Republican candidates and PACs last cycle, according to a review of federal campaign finance records.

His largest donation, $250,000, went to America First Action, a pro-Donald Trump super PAC. Senate Conservative Action, Freedom Partners Action Fund and the National Republican Senate Committee all received large contributions over the past two years.

Other large contributions have gone to Sen. Mike Braun of Indiana, Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee and Rep. Mimi Walters of California.

He also gave $600,000 to Gov. Ron DeSantis' gubernatorial campaign last year.

Help me out. How can that dude give $600k? Is it through a PAC?

Florida says you can only give $3k to a person and you can't even $250k overall, if I'm reading it right.

Anyhoo, in a better world Republicans would look at this and be like "We should go about legalizing rub and tugs and prostitution overall. Regulate it and make it safe. People like sex."

Instead, they're before to Christian overlords who think sex is the most evil thing known to humanity and should be for procreation reasons only.

Lots and lots of talk on Boston sports radio this week about why on earth Kraft would need all these high-powered attorneys to fight a misdemeanor charge. They are all so very stupid.

Trump getting stained with a human trafficking ring he had nothing to do with thanks to Robert Kraft getting a $50 blowjob from a sex slave seems like a thing that would happen in this idiotic timeline.

This is getting spicy! This definitely envelops more than just Robert Kraft. Didn't initial reports have like 230 something names caught up in this but like only 25 were released publicly?

I'm crossing my fingers a bunch of Republicans are the other ones we have yet to know.

Can someone explain what this means https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2019/ ... story.html

I've heard everything from it's normal to Kraft getting preferential treatment because he's rich.

The switch from, "IT'S HUMAN TRAFFICKING!" to saying to all the arrested guys, "we won't try you if you admit you would have lost in trial and do some community service" seems strange. Also, if there is no court case, this means we get to have the NFL investigate it, which is always fun.

It’s common enough that there’s a specific name for it — an “Alford plea.” Whether or not it constitutes preferential treatment really depends on the circumstances. Perhaps it is here but it has also been used by states to avoid civil liability from wrongful incarceration lawsuits. For example, the West Memphis Three agreed to take an Alford Plea in exchange for their freedom and Damian Echols talked about how it anguished him to accept that instead of a full exoneration. I doubt many jurisdictions ever aggressively prosecute people simply for soliciting prostitution. The end goal of a prosecution is probably just a fine but if Kraft’s attorney’s fights it aggressively a prosecution also takes up significant state resources. So without more information this doesn’t mean much to me.

Tons of cases resolved like that here. Generally there is some sort of agreement that varies a great deal from county to county but is usually some sort of probation like arrangement with fees and community service and or counseling or other programming. Case is dismissed at the end without a conviction and is expungable from a defendants record. Ultimately it's the prosecutor that drops the charges and there is no guilty plea. Distinguishable from an Alford plea which is an actual conviction just that the defendant denies guilt when they're supposed to admit the charges to enter the plea. Sometimes the "pretrial" agreement does have the defendant check a guilty box or say that they admit something, which I think is BS but play along because the arrest and conviction ultimately go away when the case is dismissed. Harder part is when your guy goes back to the spa and gets busted again before he finishes the program and case is dismissed. They go back and enter the pending guilty plea without letting you have a shot at a trial.

I am pretty sure that the local Seattle sports radio morning host, Mitch Levy, entered an Alford plea when he got popped going to a 'rub n' tug' place and got pretty much the same deal.

My guess is that the HUMAN TRAFFICKING!! aspect of the crime was a bit of an overblown description from the press. That being said, IIRC, Florida's AG (a former family law judge that I've tried a few cases in front of) was at the press conference (implying that this was bigger than a one off/local crime). Beyond that, if the facts of this don't support that it was a Jeffrey Epstein level of depravity (victims older, and darker skinned), the reduction of the crime and/or punishment is pretty standard.

Yep the emergency motion that the globe references seems to be locked or something temporarily but still worth a read through if interested. Way better than bad reporting.
