The phone cos that broke the law? Immunity.
It must be nice...
... to be such a rich bigwig (no matter that the money was ill-gotten), he can appeal for years to the supreme court, then get sent to a minimum security resort.
Joseph Nacho becomes Cornholio,
goes to jail and needs TP for his bunghole...
Miranda rights for this chump
Officer to Defendant: "I beg your pardon Sir, but, you have the right to remain silent. you have the right to cable tv. You have the right to play a round of golf at least once a day. You hve the right to either a cup of warm milk or three fingers of bourbon before lights out. You have the right to not worry about being sodomized whilst taking a shower. You have the right to a bed time story. You have the right to your choice of fine wines with dinner.
What a joke.
The one with "I'm mildly annoyed" on the back.

Send him to Leavenworth, please!
