Why are Republicans relentlessly pursued and indicted over non-crimes while Democrats go free for TREASON?

(National Sentinel)Â Injustice:Â No doubt Democrats are privately giggling over the sentencing this past week of former U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman, a Texas Republican who, for all the world, appears like he was railroaded by overzealous federal prosecutors.

AsÂ reported by Rachel AlexanderÂ atÂ TownHall, a federal court ordered Stockman to serve 10 years in prison over nefarious charges of wire fraud, mail fraud, and money laundering. Alexander, the editor of theÂ Intellectual ConservativeÂ and herself an attorney, noted that when prosecutors donâ€™t really have evidence of a substantive crime, â€œthey use those vague but scary sounding chargesâ€ like fraud.

But the court and the prosecutors werenâ€™t through. In addition to serving time, Stockman was also ordered to pay more than $1 million in restitution, a sum that is to be divided between him and a pair of co-defendants.Â

What were the former Texas lawmakerâ€™s massive crimes against the people? What did he do? He served as the go-between for two donors making four donations that totaled $915,000 to two non-profit organizations that he was associated with.

Crime! Crime!

One non-profit spent a portion of the donation on a campaign mailer that highlighted differences between Stockman and his opponent. The organization is a (c)4 for tax purposes and its objective is to educate the electorate. The mailer did not specifically endorse Stockman nor did it instruct voters how to cast their ballot, and as such did not violate any known campaign finance laws. In addition, the donors had no problems with how their contributions were used, â€œwhich was mostly for youth education,â€ Alexander noted.

Despite the fact that Stockman had been around politics for years and very likely knew what the rules say, prosecutors claimed that the transactions constituted fraud. They further claimed that the former congressman stole some charitable contributions and then used them to pay personal expenses, Alexander noted.
