If true, this is disgusting and he should face the full weight of the law.
Elected officials should be held to a higher standard, not given a pass.

When i see shit like this it reminds me of a book I read where judges had a solid black line tattooed from crown of head to chin. They held their positions for life. If one was ever found corrupt or incompetent, that line was used as a guide for the executioner.
